What you can expect
We meet at the meeting point, where we provide the wristband for access to the Tsuuk Akumal Nature Park, home to Akumal Beach, one of the most well-known areas for observing sea turtles in the Riviera Maya. Before entering the water, we provide all the necessary equipment for the activity – a mask, a new snorkel tube, and a life jacket – so you can enjoy the experience in comfort and safety.
If this is your first time snorkeling, your guide will explain the basics before you start, so this activity is ideal for both beginners and those with experience.
Once in the water, you will explore the calm Akumal Bay in search of green sea turtles in their natural habitat. You will also be able to observe tropical fish, coral formations, rays, and other species that inhabit this area. In the protected natural area, you must always follow the guide and comply with the rules explained to protect marine life. We must also maintain a respectful and safe distance from these animals. During the activity, your guide will also try to capture the best photos of your underwater experience, which are included in your experience price so you can take home your memories with the turtles.
At the end of the snorkeling activity, you can stay at the beach and enjoy the sea and the facilities for the rest of the day if you wish. You will have access to Akumal Beach, which offers amenities such as restrooms, showers, and lockers. If this is your first time snorkeling, your guide will explain the basics before you start, so this activity is ideal for both beginners and those with experience.
During the experience, your guide will stay with you at all times, showing you the best viewing spots and helping you enjoy the activity in a safe and relaxed manner. While you swim, we will also take GoPro photos during the activity, so you can take home a true memory of this special moment in the sea.
We do not operate the parking lot where you will arrive. There is a fee of $100 MXN for the entire day, and it is completely safe. Guests arriving by vehicle can go directly to this location and park there. It is the closest and most accessible parking area, as there is no free parking available in Akumal.
You must arrive on time, 15 minutes before your reservation, as other reservations are scheduled in the following hours, and this helps us respect the time of all other guests.
