Snorkeling, Diving & The Reef
The Mayan Riviera stretches for 60 miles from Cancun down past the Mayan ruins of Tulum. The Great Mayan Reef is now a protected, national park reserve; the water is clear and the waves are seldom high. Many varieties of colorful, tropical fish are seen around the reef. Because Puerto Morelos is a quiet, little known town, the snorkeling is very enjoyable there. It costs about $25 a person for an hour and a half snorkeling trip which includes your snorkeling gear and life jackets. The guides are very knowledgeable and are excellent at making snorkeling enjoyable for the non-swimmer as well as the expert.

Cenotes
Cenotes are sink holes and caves filled with crystalline water that can be found all around the area. The clear, cool water is very refreshing on hot, humid days. They are famous for providing excellent diving and snorkeling experiences. Be sure to ask our caretaker, Jim, for the best ones to visit.
