About this experience

Akumal — 'Place of the Turtles' in Mayan — is one of the few places on Earth where you can reliably snorkel alongside wild green sea turtles in shallow, crystal-clear water. The bay is a protected marine reserve, and the turtles feed on the seagrass beds just meters from shore. Your certified guide will brief you on responsible wildlife interaction before you enter the water, ensuring a safe and respectful encounter for both you and the turtles.
