Akumal Cenote Swimming and Snorkeling from Cancun & Costa Mujeres

About this experience

Discover the magic of Riviera Maya's cenotes, the mystical cave pools that occupy an important role in the Mayan civilization. Continue to beautiful Akumal beach, famous for the numerous sea turtles swimming in its shallow waters.

The adventure starts with a refreshing swim and the exploration of an incredible cenote, a freshwater underground pond so typical for the Yucatán peninsula and yet so unique. Head further to picture-perfect Akumal beach, known for its great snorkeling locations just off the coast. As you drift across the surface, you are likely to notice a sea turtle or two exploring the waters very near you. A memorable and peaceful encounter with the wild nature you will surely remember for good.

To conclude this great experience, kick back and relax at the Punta Venado Beach Club. A sumptuous lunch is included and enjoyed right here, at this piece of paradise, before you return to your hotel.
