Private Tour: Akumal Marine Turtle Snorkeling from Cozumel

Summary

In the early morning, make your way to the Playa del Carmen ferry port and meet your personalized guide for your private 6-hour outing to Akumal. A comfortable vehicle takes your group to Akumal town in about 30 minutes. From there, step aboard a boat to Akumal Beach, a popular beach in Riviera Maya.   Your guide knows the best snorkeling spots. The boat zips you to a prime coral reef location, teeming with colorful fish, harmless rays, and marine turtles. Suit up in the provided snorkeling gear, and spend a few hours here exploring the warm waters.   Late morning, hop back into the boat and head to a nearby cenote, a natural underground swimming hole of fresh water. Take a dip into the transparent waters and snorkel in this part of the underground Maya world. Hear about the archaeological discoveries made in the area. Your private tour ends in the afternoon with drop-off back at the departure point.
