Worse experience of my life
Absolutely awful experience! There’s no walking guided tour around, all you do is wait around for around 5 hours of the day just to do not even a full hour of snorkelling. Plus I was sick and not once did the staff check if I was ok and took forever to realise my boyfriend was calling for help so he was struggling trying to get me back to the boat as I was struggling to breathe and being sick. Absolutely no organisation and very rude. Horrific experience. Transportation was also dirty, no working seatbelts and the driver was driving like a maniac and on his phone the majority of the drive

Beautiful experience and taste of mexico
We booked this trip the day before and were picked up in the hotel lobby bang on time, a few more pick ups and then we were dropped at Puerto Morelos, the staff at the snorkelling place were great, spoke to us about the reef and the conservation work. We then showered to remove our sunscreen, none is allowed not even reef friendly!! We got our fins and life jackets as we have our own masks and we’re walked through to the boat. The team were great and we were taken out to reef and followed our guide around the reef. The colours were amazing and so many beautiful fish. The trip was cut a little short by a thunder storm! We decided it was best to get out of the water after a lightning strike. On the way back from the boat we ordered our lunch and went back to get dry and pick up our things, we were treated to some coffee tequila, lovely! Then back to the restaurant the tacos were delicious. We were shown our photos and bought the package they are superb. This was a wonderful trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Response from the operator: Dear Emma! Thanks for attending this nice tour, visit Puerto Morelos is a special place if you want to explore the nature and the awesome sealife that had. Of course, for take care the reefs is not allowed the use of sunscreen and we appreciate that. It's a pleasure that you had a beatiful experience with us, enjoy your pictures and come back soon to visit the wonderful Riviera Maya. Have a good day and best regards.

had fun
Can not say enough about our Driver Javier- I left my phone in the van and he personally returned it. Snorkeling was excellent and Freida was great. Lunch was good but beware more like a snack and drinks even water is not included. Lots of pressure on the street from vendors.
Response from the operator: Hi Brenda! Thank you for sharing with us your comments, they help us to know the opportunities to grow and give you the best service. On the other hand we are glad to know that you enjoyed the snorkel activity and you had a great time with us! Thank you so much for your preference and trust, we hope to see you again in the Mexican Caribbean!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos 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 Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea 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 Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos 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 Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Puerto Morelos?
+
Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea 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 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.
