Reef Snorkeling in Tulum and Swim in Cenote
This private Reef Snorkeling Tour in Tulum will not disappoint you! This tour combines two different snorkeling experiences, one in the ocean and another one in the jungle.
Arriving in Tulum paradise beach, you’ll hop on a boat for a one-hour tour complete with snorkeling on the 2nd biggest reef in the world. You will see many colorful corals and fishes on the reef. There’s a chance you may see sea turtles, but we can’t guarantee this as sometimes they are shy to the crowd.
Also, from the boat, you’ll be able to get a great view of the ruins and two additional hidden temples. (This tour doesn’t include the visit of the Tulum mayan ruins).
After swimming in the ocean, we will take the direction to the jungle, where we will swim and snorkel in a cenote of your choice. Will you prefer an open cenote like a natural pool in the jungle or a more adventure swim in the underground river? (See the list of the cenotes we include in the general information tab).
Then, we’ll stop for an authentic lunch in the jungle, where you can choose a la carte your preferred Mexican meal. Once you’re ready, we will drive you back to your hotel early afternoon.
We can also offer the same private tour, with the private guided of Tulum ruins before the snorkeling activities, check out our Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling in Tulum and cenote private tour!
