1.Reef Snorkeling in National Park from Cancun with Beachside Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,781 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $44Our pick

Review of Puerto Morelos reef snorkeling from Cancun, with boat time, fish, tacos, tequila tasting, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The people were nice and competent. However they made us follow in a line like children and barely went near to the reef, we saw mostly sand and very few fish. We were unable to hover to look at the few fish we did see and we felt herded. We saw very little coral or fish. After the snorkeling we were forced to listen to a 30 min info-mertial about tequila they were selling, and were not allowed to wander through the market as promised. We felt misinformed. The tour indicated we also could wander through a market which did not happen, we walked past it as we had to…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 689 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $110Top rated

Review of Chica Locca’s Marietas Islands all-inclusive boat tour, with food, open bar, snorkeling, kayaking, wildlife, and practical tips.

“Great crew, good drinks and decent food. I enjoyed the boat trip a lot. May be it would be possible to offer „young sixties“ to use the ladder to get off the boat. By jumping off the boat I got saltwater in my ears and nose, which spoiled my day a bit. My friend enjoyed swimming and snorkeling a lot, I did not like the obligatory life jackets . Mine was not possible to adjust properly so that swimming was no fun…. Otherwise: GREAT DAY”

Cruise Sumidero Canyon, visit Chiapa de Corzo, and enjoy mountain viewpoints on this full-day trip from San Cristobal.

“We made this tour as 4 people with Gonzalo on March 24, 2025. I travel a lot and this tour was the worst experience I ever had. The tour supposed to start at 9 am, but nobody showed up. After trying to contact them and GYG for 45 minutes, tour provider and GYG solved the issue and agreed to take us at 10 am, 1 hour later than usual. Our “tour guide” was not an actual guide but a person who knew the area. He didn’t speak English, although we HAVE paid for an English tour. We arrived to the port for the boats for Sumidero Canyon. A group left…”

“l’endroit et incroyable, une immense réserve d’eau naturel c’est à voir qu’une fois dans sa vie. néanmoins la guide iliana n’était pas des plus jovial et point négatif les appareils de type go pro son interdit mais ils font payer des photos 135€ je précise que ce prix n’est pas inclus dans le prix de l’activité (supplément photo). nous étions une dizaines par groupe c’est dommage la guide était vite débordé malgré que l’histoire de rio secreto soit très intéressante nous n’avons pas put tous entendre. concernant les activités externes de rio secreto, les tyroliennes était assez petite et nous n’avons fait que 10min de vélo. concernant le buffet je…”

Review of the Sumidero Canyon trip from Tuxtla, with boat views, Chiapa de Corzo, costs, timing, transport, and practical tips.

“El trayecto en barca es precioso y hemos podido ver muchos animales y vegetación. Quizás con un mirador ya habría bastante porque se pierde mucho tiempo. Encima nos tocó nublado y no se veía muy bien. La recogida por los diferentes hoteles es demasiado larga, sería mejor fijar un punto de recogida y de finalización para todos igual.”

The closeness to nature and the careful way the driver showed the animals without disturbing them was truly remarkable. The boat ride itself felt very safe, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience nature and wildlife up close. An unforgettable experience!Read more”

Hike a short Huatulco National Park trail to a quiet beach, snorkel its reef, and enjoy transport, an English guide, beer, and water.

“This was an amazing tour. Highly recommend going as early as possible. We were greeted right off our cruise ship by friendly folks and taken to a couple of cars. (We had a group of 6, plus 1 extra from the ship). They made sure we had snorkel gear in hand (we all brought our own) and then drove to the park entrance. The bay was about a 10 minute walk through a well groomed trail, where the guides talked about some of the birds and other animals in the area. The bay itself was beautiful and tucked away. Soft sand beaches, and a nice entry into the water, with…”
