What you can expect

Visit sea turtle nesting grounds and snorkel among marine life at two distinct Riviera Maya locations. The first is a coral reef and sea turtle sanctuary, and the second is a Maya cenote, a groundwater lake in the tropical jungle exposed beneath collapsed limestone.

Sample two aquatic locations on this Riviera Maya snorkel adventure and eco tour. The first stop is one of the best coral reef sea turtle sanctuaries in the area. Expect to see at least one—and probably many—of these creatures, along with rays and tropical reef fish.

Once you're back on land, take a guided visit to the sea turtle nesting grounds, learning about the uniqueness of the environment and what makes it suitable for for the gentle creatures. Everything is connected in this protected sanctuary, making the conservation of sea turtles and other flora and fauna vitally important.

The last stop is a cenote, a water-filled limestone sinkhole nestled amid the trees in the Maya jungle. These freshwater lakes are connected to large underground water systems, and were considered sacred by the ancient Mayans. Be on the lookout for colourful freshwater fish, eels, and tortoises before kicking back to enjoy lunch in this peaceful tropical setting.
