Great tour but too much down time at end
Loved the snorkeling- picked up on time from hotel- Charlie Brown and frank were most organized crew. All had to attend tequila tasting- not in original plans. Lunch was just ok because tacos were cold and only allowed to stop at “authorized store” on way to lunch. After lunch had to sit there for at least 45 min to an hour before van picked us up.
Response from the operator: Hi Michelle, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the snorkeling and that Charlie Brown, Frank, and the crew provided an organized experience. The tequila tasting is part of the scheduled experience, but we understand that it may not be something every guest is interested in. We also appreciate your comments regarding the transportation schedule and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve the overall experience. We hope the beautiful snorkeling experience remains a highlight of your day with us!

Reef Snorkel in Port Morelos
We went on the snorkel with lunch tour in May. The transportation was on time and after picking up several people we arrived at the location in Port Morelos. The first thing we did was get in line to pay the dock fee of $15 per person. Then we moved to the next kiosk and we were asked to pay for the VIP package. This included a VIP snorkeling experience with smaller group size and 4 tacos at lunch instead of three for $110. We declined. Our group ended up with 13 people and it was fine. The snorkeling was fine and our leader Frank was great. We were not allowed to snorkel on our own but had to follow the guide in a line. We would have enjoyed it more if we could have explored the reef but those are the rules apparently. We were not allowed to bring our phones or anything on the boat. They had someone take pictures and we could buy them at the end for $60. We declined. After the snorkel we were able to shower and change and we were directed to a tequila tasting room. This was never mentioned in the description when we booked the tour. If it had been we would have booked something else because we don't drink and we opted to not attend the tasting. Because we declined they asked us to fill out a form and sign it explaining why we didn't want to go to the tasting. We thought that was kind of weird. Next we had to walk through a gauntlet of shops where people were selling their trinkets and souvenirs. We kept walking to the end of the street where we got in a van and went to the lunch location. The tacos were included but any drinks we had to pay for. The tacos were fried fish or fried chicken and were OK. This tour could have been better with out all the up charges and having to stay in a line for the snorkel The guide were great, nice and friendly and there is nothing negative about them. Be advised there is tequila tasting which is not advertised on this site. Also why can't the tour we bought be a VIP Tour? Why try to upcharge us immediately? If there was a VIP tour option they should advertise it here and not tell us upon arrival and try to rush us into a decision.

Guide Carlos was great, snorkeling ok
Pick up was right on time at our Cancún hotel and as expected multiple other hotel stops to pick up other adventurers. Our guide Carlos was great and clearly explained reef ecology and safety steps. Modern Boat ride to reef was smooth and each participant was given new in the wrapper snorkels. Snorkeling was so-so as we had to cater to “weakest link” in the chain theory. We had multiple young kids on trip and strong currents. Carlos played it safe and towed the kids using a life preserver. We followed a designated reef course that was not very exciting. Water was not very clear - not their fault- but we and 3-4 other tour companies were on same reef. Nothing like the solitude of diving with 30 of your best friends. Tequila tasting after was fun and educational. Bring money y To buy some great tequila if you’re inclined to. The snack after tequila was more like lunch. 3 taco plates served to everyone. THEN we were taken to the town of puerto morales and dropped off to shop at souvenir stores. Could have done without this extra 45 min excursion. Finally, wait for transport back to hotel was another 40 min. Overall a good experience and would recommend for families and beginners

Mixed
Started a little sketchy when we were asked to shower per national park rules. But was ok. Guides were great. Equipment was ok. The boat was fine. Only complaint was the restaurant they took us too was terrible. Deep fried chicken tenders or fish tacos and both were horrible. Really they just walk you there to sell photo package from tour. There was tequila tasting when we returned to outfitter. I would have rather spent that time exploring the town and shops.

Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Sam.
How much does Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation cost?
+
Prices start at $44 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Sam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Punta Sam is not rushed.
Is Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Punta Sam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation?
+
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 Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation?
+
Around 20 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Sam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Tequila and Lunch, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Tulum & Coba with Cenote, Cave Exploration, Lunch & Tastings. 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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Punta Sam?
+
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.
