    About this experience

    Ten years in the Riviera Maya have made me a connoisseur. I always look for the best places to swim, fish, and take my family. A few months ago, I decided to share my favorite place with visitors. That is how the experience was born. I would love everyone who comes to Tulum to be able to discover the Tulum that I know, magic, and unique experiences.

    Worth the money!

    It was incredibly beautiful and we got to swim in 2 places. We saw so many fish, turtles, and stingrays. The guides were very nice and told us a lot of history.

    Not now. Seaweed everywhere. Water too choppy for snorkeling.

    Do not go now. We weren’t told that we would have to maneuver thru seaweed to get to the boat. It was treacherous. Ugh Water was too choppy for snorkeling and some of the passengers got seasick and were throwing up. Taxi was able to drop us off a few blocks walk from the beach but we didn’t know about the tram because of that. We walked about half a mile at 1pm, the heat of the day, before someone would pick us up. I almost had a heatstroke. I can’t recommend this tour based on our terrible experience. Sorry

    Response from the operator: Entiendo perfectamente tu visión de la experiencia que tuviste. Te pido mil disculpas. Sin embargo cabe aclarar que para el dia de hoy 23 de Agosto 2026 el sargazo que es un fenómeno natural sobre el cual no tenemos control, ya ha empezado a desparecer, tal como lo reflejan los comentarios posteriores al tuyo. El parque natural o resrva dentro de la que nos encontramos es un lugar de disfrute y conexión con la naturaleza. Dentro de el carritos eléctricos transportan a los visitantes hasta su playa de destino haciéndolo todo mucho mas placentero. Toda esta información la enviamos mucho antes de la visita del cliente y el mismo dia de la visita nuevamente la enviamos por whatssapp. Tambien es posible estacionar tu propio coche a pocos metros de nuestro punto de encuentro. Deseamos de todo corazon que la próxima vez tu experiencia mucho mejor, tal como la que han recibido cientos de visitantes. Te envio mis mejores deseos.

    Great experience- family with young kids

    Easy from start to finish and all comms done via WhatsApp. English family of 5! Two site snorkel experience. Manual swam with us and led, kindly towing a ring that our 6 year could hold onto the whole time making it easy for her! What a great guide. We saw Sea turtles, nurse sharks, barracuda, stingray and an eagle ray. A simple beginners experience for our children ages 14, 10 and 6! Highly recommended

    Response from the operator: Estamos felices de que haya siido de tu agrado esta experiencia. Que nos hayas elegido para compartirla con tus hijos nos llena de orgullo. Deseamos que la conexión que tuviste con Tulum se mantenga viva para siempre y te traiga de vuelta. Gracias totales y un fuerte abrazo.

    2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.

    How much does 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.

    Is 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 339 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef?

    +

    Around 119 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Hours Tulum Snorkel: Sea Turtles, Stingrays & Coral Reef start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tulum?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tulum?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tulum?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
