Your tour includes lunch, equipment and transport.Your half-day snorkeling tour begins with hotel pickup in Tulum. From there, you'll head to the Yalku inlet to snorkel with very colorful fish in the Caribbean sea. You may even spot a stingray and/or a sea turtle. This first part of the tour is in an inlet to avoid waves and currents.
Then, you'll head to a cenote for the second portion of the tour. These amazing caves/caverns have all kinds of magnificent limestone formations flooded with rain water and are considered sacred since they are the access to the vital substance and, in the cosmo vision of the Maya, they are entrances to the underworld.
You will visit a 600 meter (2000 feet) long cave where you are able to learn about its formation process and the significance and importance of these caves for the people of the Yucatan Peninsula. During the first part of the cave, you will walk with water about 1-meter-deep (3.5 ft.) until you arrive to an area were the ceiling of the cave collapsed and the natural light comes through allowing us to swim in deeper water with the natural light. You will continue swimming and walking along the cave until you come out in the middle of the Jungle.
You'll enjoy lunch and then be back at your hotel at around 2pm.
