About this experience

Not far from its coast, you find one of the best snorkeling locations available, the second largest coral reef barrier in the world. Board the expedition boat, heading out to open sea. Jump into the water and snorkel, swimming above colorful corals bustling with tropical fish. Encounter the fascinating marine fauna featuring playful sergeant majors, butterflyfish, parrotfish, snappers and barracudas. You might even spot some turtles, sea urchins and lobsters.

Poor experience.
What with a mixup in registration and being held hostage at a tequila tasting, this was a subpar experience from start to finish. The water was murky and the reef in very sad shape, although you can’t change the weather and the currents nor the impact man has done to the reef. The guide seemed to think getting through the water trail quickly was more important than going slowly and letting the customers actually look around and enjoy what the (dying) reef had to offer. Our group included three new snorklers, two of which are likely to be one and done. Not the memories we hoped to generate. This tour was advertised as 6 hours. Even with the unadvertised and unwanted tequila presentation, it barely lasted 4. The lunch consisted of three tolerable tacos each. Extra cost for beverages; even non alcoholic drinks. All in all, again sadly subpar.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We regret the confusion during the check-in process and understand how this can affect the overall experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the snorkeling pace, as our goal is always to ensure that all guests—especially beginners—feel comfortable and able to fully enjoy the activity. Your feedback will be shared with our team to improve the experience for future travelers. Regarding the reef conditions, as you mentioned, factors such as weather, currents, and environmental conditions can impact visibility and marine life, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. However, we always aim to provide the best possible experience within those conditions. We would also like to clarify that the total duration of the tour may vary depending on logistics, weather, and group timing. The tequila presentation is typically part of the local cultural experience, though we understand it may not be of interest to all guests. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations and truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service. Kind regards, Customer Experience Team

Awesome Snorkeling
This trip was very well organized. Our instructors, Cariana and Maui, were upbeat and informative. We enjoyed the snorkeling and were able to see a lot of ocean life. It was followed up with tequila tasting and delicious tacos. What a fun activity! I highly recommend.

Great snorkeling
We had a great day. Francisco was our guide and he was terrific. Friendly to everyone on the tour. Everyone should be like him. Would highly recommend. The lunch at the end was really good.

Need more time to walk round Puerto Morelos
It was good, but we didn't get a whole lot of time to look around Puerto Morelos. I would have happily ditched the tacos or tequila tasting (which is really a bit of a sales pitch), to have time to look round.

Great Experience
The snorkeling was great, we had a great guide. The tacos afterwards were good as well. We got a small tequila tasting right after the snorkeling, which was a sales pitch but there was no big pressure to buy. Overall it was a good experience.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-Day Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Half-Day Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 35 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 Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch?
+
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 Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch?
+
Around 12 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Puerto Morelos Snorkeling Experience with Lunch 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 Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, 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.
