The Gold Snorkel is a one-of-a-kind full-day adventure that blends the beauty of Mexico’s cenotes with the Caribbean’s reefs. Starting at 8:00 am, you’ll travel to the jungle to snorkel in the cenotes—natural sinkholes with crystal-clear water, limestone formations, and magical beams of sunlight.
After a refreshing morning, you’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch before heading back to Cancun for an afternoon snorkel at the MUSA Underwater Museum and one of the nearby coral reefs. With this combination, you get the best of both worlds in a single day.

Whale Shark Snorkeling – Seasonal Adventure (June–September)
Every summer from June to September, Cancun becomes the gathering place for the largest fish in the sea: the whale shark. Despite their size—up to 40 feet long—these gentle giants are completely harmless and feed only on plankton.
Our Whale Shark Snorkeling tour gives you the rare opportunity to swim alongside them in their natural environment. After a scenic boat ride, you’ll slip into the water with your guide for an unforgettable experience as whale sharks glide past.
This full-day trip is suitable for confident swimmers and ocean lovers who want to tick off one of the most unique snorkeling adventures on earth.
Cenote Joining Diver – Ride-Along Option
Not a diver but want to experience the cenotes with family or friends? Our Cenote Joining Diver option lets you ride along and snorkel while others dive. You’ll float in crystal-clear water, marvel at limestone formations, and watch beams of sunlight dance beneath the surface.
This is a safe and fascinating way to enjoy the cenotes without needing dive certification, making it perfect for non-diving family members.
