THE WHOLE TOUR IS SWIMMING.
It requires swimming skills because it is performed in the open ocean.
Our guide will take you to the beachside to enter the sea with the SNORKEL equipment on (Mask, snorkel tube and life jacket).
You will visit the official CONANP prearranged swimming circuit within the National Park and protected natural area in Akumal Bay. This course is 1 km or 0.7 miles and 50 minutes inside the swimming circuit (Time limited by the authority, no agency may exceed that time).
You are guaranteed to observe green turtles.
You will also find tropical fish, rays and other marine organisms that occasionally visit the reef.
If it’s your first experience swimming in the open ocean, you’ll have the confidence and security to be accompanied by a professional at all times. Excellent service distinguishes us by considering the safety of our customers and personalized attention paramount.
Enjoy the Mexican Caribbean swimming alongside green turtles while learning and having fun.
