If you travel to Riviera Maya you can not miss snorkeling excursions, there are incredible places like Cozumel, Tulum or Playa del Carmen that are among the most recommended for this sport. The possibilities are varied and all of them offer a special attraction. Now, in order to decide which excursions to take for snorkeling in the Riviera Maya, we must first determine what this water sport consists of.
For the more adventurous, we have devised the “Exotik” tours, where we combine the visit to the Mayan ruins of Tulum and Coba, respectively, with adventure activities such as zip-lining or rappel.
In the case of the Tulum Exotik excursion, we offer our clients the possibility of spending a more than complete day starting with a visit to the Mayan ruins of the archaeological zone of Tulum and, after this, take a swim in one of the most important paradisiacal beaches in the world: Playa Paraiso.
After this, it’s time to bring out our more adventurous side to go deep into the jungle and cross one of the most beautiful cenotes of the Riviera Maya on a zip line. Without a doubt, an exciting experience if ever there was one!
Feeling like Indiana Jones in the middle of the Mexican jungle is priceless! But as if that were not enough, once the zip line experience is over, it’s time to relax by taking a canoe ride contemplating the abundant nature that surrounds us.
As we indicated in the title, any person is suitable for snorkeling since they only need to have the necessary equipment and not so much to have certain skills.
Unlike scuba diving, where it is necessary to know the technique, snorkeling can be done as long as the necessary equipment is available.
What equipment is needed for snorkeling?
To do the snorkeling activity, it will be enough to have goggles and snorkel or a mask that includes both parts. You can also opt for the use of foot fins to facilitate movement in the water.
All snorkeling excursions in Riviera Maya include the necessary equipment.
There are several possibilities when it comes to snorkeling excursions in Riviera Maya. One of the most popular activities is snorkeling along the coral reef. The interest aroused lies in the fact that this is the second largest coral reef in the world that extends across four countries.
