Catamaran Cruise in Riviera Maya With Snorkeling & Beach Club

This catamaran outing sails from Maroma Beach, on the Riviera Maya coast, and combines a cruise with guided snorkeling in the Caribbean. The listed duration is 180 minutes. The listing highlights the biodiversity of the reefs and describes the area as part of the second largest coral reef in the world.

After hotel pickup, you board the catamaran for a calm outing from the Yucatan Peninsula. As you sail into the Caribbean Sea you can take photos of the coastal scenery. The boat stops at two reefs, about 45 minutes each, where you get into the water with tropical fish and coral formations. If weather conditions allow, you can also enjoy a flight in a spinnaker.

Between and after snorkeling, you relax on deck in the sun and enjoy the drinks served on board: water, soft drinks and beer, with the beer served after the snorkeling activity. Snorkeling equipment is provided and a guide leads the snorkel. Live commentary is given in English and Spanish.

When the activity ends you get free access to Maroma Beach. The boat then returns to the dock before the trip back to your hotel. Transport covers most centrally located hotels in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.
