Cancún: Caribbean Snorkeling Tour with Open Sinkhole, Cavern, and Ocean Inlet

About this experience

This expedition begins with pickup at your hotels or meeting point, before heading for the Mayan jungle on a route that leads to a beautiful bay of turtles in the incredible beaches of the Mexican Caribbean. The first step is the Ocean Inlet, a hidden oasis where you'll find yourself swimming between hundreds of fishes. Later, visit two amazing Cenote sink holes, a sacred place for the ancient Mayan civilization, where you can swim and explore the incredible underground caves of the Yucatan Peninsula. You'll have the opportunity to appreciate the ancient formations of stalactites and stalagmites that together with the rays of light filtered through the small cracks in these limestone caves make them a breathtaking work of natural art. To cap it all off, a mouthwatering lunch buffet is included in the price.

Before you go

Arrival and timing The tour runs for approximately 7 hours in total, so plan your day accordingly and make sure you are ready at your designated hotel pickup point a few minutes before your scheduled departure time. Delays at the meeting point can affect the group's schedule, so punctuality is appreciated. Getting around the venues Snorkelling equipment is included, so there is no need to bring your own, though you are welcome to bring a personal mask if you prefer. The cenotes involve swimming in natural cave environments with uneven rock formations, so secure, close-fitting footwear suitable for water is advisable. A buffet lunch is included and served during the tour. Sun protection, a towel, and a change of clothes are practical items to have in your bag. During the tour Follow all guide instructions at the cenotes and ocean inlet, particularly around swimming boundaries and cave areas. Out of respect for the natural environment, avoid touching rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites inside the caves. Check with your guide before taking photographs inside the cenotes, as flash photography can disturb the ecosystem.
