    Unfortunately, a disappointing experience

    The excursion stated it was for a maximum of 12 persons. We had 21. The water was rough and we had an individual injured attempting to get on and off the boat. The motor on the boat was in ill repair requiring a delay while they attempted 4 different batteries to get it operational. There were only 2 guides and a camera man in the water with the 21 participants 2 were children and a mother that were beginners. One party chose not to go in at the second area because they did not feel safe exiting/entering the boat or water. Plant life hood. Minimal underwater life seen.

    Awesome Experience!

    This is the perfect tour for people who arrive in Cancun in the morning and want to do something in the afternoon or have to leave Cancun in the afternoon and still want to do some activities in the morning. My tour guide Andrea and her team really tried their best to make sure my parents and I have a great time. Definitely recommend this tour. The lunch after snorkeling was also delicious!

    Great Crew but too crowded- poor transport

    It was a fun snorkel morning and our guide, Andi was great. She was expert and friendly and very helpful. The captain and the rest of the crew were great also. They found us great places to see lots of cool fish and beautiful coral even though the weather was windy and the sea was rough. It was challenging to swim and keep up because of the rough water and strong currents that day. But the crew kept us all together and helped us. It was relaxing to have the breakfast eggs with beans and chips after the snorkel with the beautiful ocean view. Really tasty meal. Margaritas were a bonus. The facilities looked great. The downside was that the tour had too many participants (19). The tour was advertised as 12 guests maximum which is why I chose that particular tour rather than others that were less expensive. We were hoping for a more intimate experience and a safer one from a pandemic perspective. The huge group, which included a team of 9 rowdy young men was a bit much. We kept getting kicked and pushed. The transport from Riviera Maya took a long time because there were so many stops from far flung places. The driver on the way was good but the one one the return went over the bumps so fast that we were launched into the air several times and came down so hard that I have a bruised tailbone and my kid hurt their neck.

    Short & Scenic

    The staff were amazing. Friendly, helpful and enjoyable to be around. Our group was about 14 people. We saw lots of beautiful fish, a sea turtle, and a sting ray. This was my first time snorkeling, and I felt safe and well taken care of. Drinks and food after were good. I do wish we could’ve spent more time snorkeling. It’s advertised as two 45 min swims, but it was really one 30 min and one 20 min. Overall, I’d recommend this to beginners and those who want a short and scenic trip trip through the National Reef Park.

    Wife left me for an eagle stingray

    We had fun and it was good. My girlfriend, now ex, saw a sting ray and has since shacked up with them. So whilst i’m happy to have seen such diverse aquatic life, i am disappointed i no longer have a girlfriend. Would recommend. Also i saw a barracuda, this too was good.

    Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Cancun is not rushed.

    Is Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos?

    +

    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 Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos?

    +

    Around 5 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?

    +

    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 Cancun?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Half Day Guided Snorkeling Adventure in Puerto Morelos?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Bottled water; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Lockers. Not included: Conservation tax ($20 USD); Photos; and Souvenirs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
