Stop 1: Sea turtle & stingray sanctuary (45 min)
Snorkel for about 45 minutes in a sanctuary where wild sea turtles graze on the seagrass and rise for air just a few meters away, while stingrays glide over the sandy bottom. Your guide swims with you. We observe the marine life with respect: no touching and no feeding.

Stop 2: Tulum coral reef (45 min) & return
Explore a beautiful section of the Mesoamerican Reef for about 45 minutes: colorful corals, schools of tropical fish and, very often, nurse sharks resting below. Feeling tired? You can return to the boat at any time. We then cruise back to Playa Pescadores.
