DO THIS TOUR! You won’t regret it… - We came back to Akumal for this tour after we had done the other one that Martin is offering (swimming with turtles in Akumal Bay) because we liked it so much and thought this would be a fun way to also see a Cenote. And we were proven right… What is special about this tour is that you get to see how fresh water from a Cenote runs into the salt water of the ocean and also how mangrove trees underwater provide a safe space for a lot of tropical fish 🐠… the “Doris” (from Nemo) are huge in Yal-Ku - much bigger than the ones we saw in the bay - and we saw a ton of parrot fish and others as well… it was truly a unique experience to see underwater how the different ecosystems were connected. In some parts the visibility was a bit blurry because the fresh and sea water mixed but once we saw this we just went to a different spot and then enjoyed the tropical fish a little further! In comparison to the experience in the bay it was a calmer (no waves) and for someone without any snorkeling experience an excellent area to start! What we also liked was that the water temperature was a little lower (than in the bay) where the fresh water was, which was a welcomed experience especially in the summer’s heat! We also saw way more tropical fish (but no turtles of course) and were able to explore the ecosystems underwater! At Yal-Ku a swim vest was not mandatory but we used one anyways because it allowed us to calmly float among the fish without disturbing them by paddling around… I would not have wanted to miss this and hope that everyone will be able to keep enjoying both tours in the future. The both snorkeling with the sea turtles in Akumal bay and snorkeling with tropical fish are unique and I highly recommend doing both tours. Martin was an excellent guide once again, taught us a lot about the ecosystems, life underwater, how to protect it and ourselves and once again provided us with beautiful FREE photos after the tour! Both tours were the BEST experience of our 3-week trip across Yucatan… Thank you so much for showing travelers like us the beauty of Akumal in all its variety and we hope that Akumal is able to protect this unique place with the help of responsible and interested visitors…

Awesome place to see lots of marine life 😊 - This place is a jewel 💎 with a lot of colorful fish, it really surprised me! We had a great time with Martin!! such a friendly guy and also super knowledgable, we even had photos that he took with his Gopro, they were fantastic! Would highly recommend booking this tour, you'll be in phenomenal hands!! 😉
