Overview
Enjoy a divine dive beneath the surface of the exquisite Caribbean Sea and deep into the Mayan Underworld with this once-in-a-lifetime snorkeling tour. You’ll enjoy two sessions of unimaginably atmospheric snorkeling - a session along an exuberantly colorful Caribbean reef, and a session in a mysterious underground river cenote. To round off a truly unrivaled experience, you’ll settle down later for a delectable local lunch.
Start your adventure with a visit to a picture-perfect Caribbean inlet or bay for a spectacular snorkeling session along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Here, you’ll encounter an array of vibrant fish dancing and dashing around the coral in all colors of the rainbow - an unforgettable spectacle. Keep your eyes peeled for sea turtles and stingrays!
Your second snorkeling session is at a sublime cenote - one of the dreamy underground pools that the Yucatan Peninsula is so famous for. Venture into the atmospheric limestone cave, feeling the thrill of swimming under staggering stalactites, over stunning stalagmites, and around colossal columns. The color of the water is so otherworldly here that you might think you’re dreaming the whole experience!
To get a full appreciation and understanding of the role of cenotes in shaping life on the Yucatan Peninsula, you’ll enjoy a guided wander through echoing chambers 600 meters underground, learning all about cenotes’ evolution and formation.
Reaching an echoing open area where the natural light streams through the ceiling of the cave onto the dazzling deep green water, you’ll take a truly magical plunge and savor a once-in-a-lifetime swim deep in the Mayan Underworld.
