  • Total Snorkel Cancun - Start your tour with prompt, air-conditioned transportation from your hotel.

Head to our marina, where after checking in, you’ll receive your complete snorkeling gear and all safety instructions.

Before boarding, you’ll take an in-shore briefing where you’ll get to test your equipment and learn other useful tips that will help you enjoy the tour at its best.

Once everybody feels confident and safe, we’ll depart to our first stop, which is only 3 minutes boat trip:

1st area: coral reef, full of fish and marine life with an 8-12 feet depth, warm water, and few or non-sea currents.

2nd area: admire underwater statues from 2 submarine art galleries: “The blessings” and “Aquarium Family”.

3rd area: time to find some turtles, 96-98% chances to see from 1-5 turtles! We might also see and swim with rays.

4th and last area: a shipwreck full of life, filled with colorful coral and many kinds of multicolored fish. The shipwreck is surrounded by crystal clear water and white sand, you’ll feel like you are swimming in a natural turquoise pool!

In the unlikely case that you get dizzy, we’ll take you to the mainland with an assistant boat.

Great tour! - This was an amazing experience! Daisy, our guide, as well as the boat captain and the photographer were all amazing. They have you try out your gear and make adjustments at the dock so there's no problems when you get in the open water. The water was a bit rough but they still got us to each location, allowed us plenty of time in the water, and kept a close eye on everyone in the group. We had a couple on our tour who ended up needing to be taken back to shore halfway through; and the crew handled that seamlessly. They also take TONS of pictures so you can just focus on snorkeling, so be sure to look at those when you're done! The marina also has snacks and drinks at a decent price. A few points of caution: you need to be a decent to strong swimmer to do this - you do wear a life jacket, but you need to be able to handle some waves and the currents depending on the weather. Also, you go out in a small fishing boat so don't expect anything fancy there. Finally, I recommend getting a locker for your towels and using them for changing clothes when you get back - there is a dry box for your belongings on the boat but our towels got soaked.

Snorkel reef tour - Carlos and his captain delivered for the small tour we took midday. Seven people total on the trip which was nice. Saw many turtles, lobster, star fish. The tour was convenient. Pickup and drop off were great. Allowed us to do the adventure and still have time back at resort to relax.

Happy with their service, price - Even thought I could not be in the water for more than 1 minute, as I did not know swimming, despite the life vest, I would rate this as 5* experience. They promptly sent the pick to my hotel and drop off as well. The guide Pili (she) was very good and accommodating. She tried her best to make me feel comfortable in water and promptly took me out when I raised a distress signal. Overall I am happy with them and would recommend to my friends. The price, considering the pickup and drop off to hotel was included was very reasonable as well.

So much Fun! - It was an amazing experience! I have little to none experience snorkelling but Oscar made me feel very comfortable and kept checking on me during the time. We managed to see 3 sea turtles and a starfish. Seeing the shipwreck and the statues were also so cool!!! They also managed to take such great pictures

Snorkeling Tour - Too expensive. Snorkeling was good, but for 2 hours it's not worth the money ($180) And charging another $60 for photos and videos is a rip off.
