Itinerary and highlights

Mayan Adventure offers an activity that will spotlight three different Mayan underwater ecosystems; amazing wonders of the natural world where you will have the opportunity to get a complete snorkel experience.

Your bilingual guide will explain the history of the surrounding areas while you get familiarized with your snorkeling gear before diving into the ocean to explore the reefs teeming with tropical fish.

Then, make your way through the jungle to swim in a fresh-water river full of caves, stalactites and stalagmites tailor-made by nature for adventurers, just like you.

And last, you´ll dive into a cenote, a freshwater sinkhole naturally created when cavern roofs collapsed to form a natural pool filled by the rain and the underwater rivers. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy such a magical journey!
