“Vom Veranstalter wurde die Tour Meeressafari genannt und so war es auch. Schnorcheln an 3 Spots mit unterschiedlicher Tiefe. Der Guide James war sehr gut. Er hat von vornherein gesagt, dass er uns nicht versprechen kann, wieviel und was wir sehen. Das fand ich super ehrlich. Aber wir haben jede Menge tolle Meeresfauna gesehen. Er hat uns im Wasser geführt und uns auf alle Tiere aufmerksam gemacht. Am letzten Spot sind wir den Adler- und Stachelrochen ganz nah gekommen. Immer wieder hat sich James vergewissern, ob es auch allen gut geht. Auch der Rest des Teams war sehr fürsorglich. Die Gruppengröße war mit ca. 15-18 Personen auch sehr angenehm. Das…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 116 reviews · 3 hours · from $50 a head

Guides such as Brian, Bryan, Enrique, Tony, and Captain Fox have led recent outings. Expect a lively, bumpy ride and a short reef stop.

“First time Snorkeler and It Was Amazing! I had never been snorkeling before, and I was a little nervous, but this tour made it so easy and fun. The guides were super patient and gave us clear instructions before we got into the water. Once I put my mask on and started swimming, I couldn’t believe how many fish were around me! It was like swimming in a giant aquarium. The speedboat ride was also a blast—it was easy to drive, and going through the mangroves was such a cool experience. This is a great tour for beginners or anyone looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation.”

Exciting Speedboat & Snorkeling Tour in Cancun Lagoon!

12.Exciting Speedboat & Snorkeling Tour in Cancun Lagoon!

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $59 a head

Drive a two- or four-person speedboat from Marina Chac Chi through Nichupté Lagoon, then head to the Mayan Reef for snorkeling. Certified guides provide safety training and equipment. Noel has earned praise for his care and humor, though rough seas can shorten the swim and a 600 MXN per-person fee is charged locally.

“The place is tucked away on the beach behind the Cancún Beach Resort with no signs. Good thing they have a person standing at the front of the resort directing and showing people where to go. Everyone was very friendly. Two things, they said it was too windy to snorkel. Also, you can hear the tour guide because there’s no radios. You’re basically paying to drive a small boat around Cancun for 2 hours”
