About this tour

We have over 50 years combined experience working and living at the Great mesoamerican reef here in Mahahual Costa Maya. We offer expertise on environmental conditions, as well as flora and fauna in the area, and our tours are always provided in English and in Spanish.

Our tour includes semi-professional snorkeling equipment (all cleaned and sanitized before and after every use) including fins, certified life vests, and a certified guide who will also take underwater photos of your experience as a courtesy.

We offer snacks to enjoy right on the boat! We provide water, sodas, beer, fresh fruit and even a delicious guacamole.

Our beach is next to “Hotel 40 Cañones”, where you are free to lounge on the beach, use our kayaks and paddle boards.
