In Cancun and along the Riviera Maya stretch of the Mexican Caribbean, turquoise waters offer more than a beach day. On this snorkelling tour you will explore crystal-clear water around the second-largest coral reef in the world, which stretches for miles and supports a rich underwater ecosystem. As you move through the shallow sea, you may encounter colourful tropical fish, rays and other marine species, and you will have the chance to swim near sea turtles and an impressive shipwreck off Cancun.

The snorkelling area is calm and clear, with shallow depths (maximum about 9 feet), making it an ideal place to enjoy the sea. Along the way you will discover coral formations and the variety of life they shelter, getting an up-close view of the Caribbean’s underwater world as you explore the reef and nearby wreck.
