Cancunmermaid´s Snorkeling Express

The second largest reef in the world starts a little bit north of Cancun and stretches down to Honduras in Central America. In Puerto Morelos, (23 miles south of Cancun) this reef hugs the coastline for 9 miles. The closeness of the reef to the shore (about 500 yards) is a natural barrier  for the village. It also keeps the waters calm on the inside of the reef. The depth of the water is shallow, between 5 to 30 feet, which makes conditions  ideal for snorkeling. All the photos shown on this page were taken at the reef  in Puerto Morelos. This area of the reef has remainded unspoiled due to the environmental regulations the small village has immplemented. Only a selectd amount of people are allowed to snorkel the reef. I have been snorkeling all around Cancun, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and the Riviera Maya since my arrival here in 1993. I can guarantee you absolutely the best and most beautiful reef and sealife is in Puerto Morelos. It´s perfect for first timers or advanced  snorkelers. We often times just do drift snorkels, having the boat drop us off and just follow us along, allowing everyone to see as much of the reef as  possible. We take you to two different areas of the reef, spending about 1 hour in each area. We require a minimum of 4 people or a maximum of 20 people on this Tour. The price is $ 50 U.S. for adults & $ 35 U.S. for children.  Includes: boat, snorkeling gear, life jackets, a light lunch, bottled water, sodas & beer. If staying in Cancun we also
 include round-trip transportation to and  from Puerto Morelos. If staying in the Riviera Maya, we can help you arrange transportation.
