Now it's snorkeling time!
A quick boat ride off Tulum’s beach will bring you to cool off over the Mesoamerican Reef. Here you will encounter the sea life up close and personal in its natural setting.
Turtles, manta rays, and schools of tropical fish are all possible swimming mates while you snorkel along the second-longest coral reef in the world. Although it is not guaranteed a sighting.
