Overview

Snorkel through the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second-largest barrier reef system on Earth—just off Puerto Morelos in the heart of the Riviera Maya.

Located just half a mile from Marina Kay Club, this remarkable section of the reef can be reached within minutes, helping minimize seasickness while giving you approximately two hours to explore the water instead of a rushed snorkeling stop.

Swim above colorful coral formations, encounter tropical fish, and watch for sea turtles moving through their natural habitat. Small groups, attentive guides, and a helpful briefing create a relaxed experience for first-time snorkelers, families, and experienced swimmers alike.

With transportation available from Cancun and selected Riviera Maya locations, this is an easy and exciting way to experience one of the world’s great natural wonders beneath the surface of the Mexican Caribbean.

What To Expect

Whether you’re staying in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, get ready to discover one of the Mexican Caribbean’s most beautiful underwater worlds! Transportation from Cancun and selected Riviera Maya locations makes this an easy escape for families, beginners, and experienced swimmers.

Your adventure begins at Marina Kay Club in Bahía Petempich, between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. After a short briefing and snorkeling lesson, gear up with your mask, snorkel, fins, and life jacket before boarding the boat.

The reef is just half a mile from the marina, meaning less travel and more time in the water. Spend approximately two hours exploring colorful coral formations, swimming among tropical fish, and watching for sea turtles in their natural habitat. Small groups and attentive guides create a relaxed experience away from the crowds.

The complete tour lasts approximately 3.5 hours, including round-trip transportation, preparation, and briefing. Duration may vary depending on your hotel and pickup route.

Return to the marina for bottled water and a refreshing shower before the comfortable ride back. It’s an exciting and convenient way to discover Puerto Morelos beneath the surface.
