Photos: Tulum Snorkel Tour – Snorkeling in Akumal

Akumal is a well known location to practice snorkeling very close to Tulum town. Akumal has very special conditions to safely practice snorkeling in the coral reef. The reef is located right near the beach, which makes it a perfect location for those looking to connect with the biodiversity of this ecosystem. We have made a selection of pictures taken during a snorkel tour in Akumal, hope you like them!

Akumal Bay makes possible to experience the coral reef in a unique way. In maya language Akumal means “the place of the turtles”, it is located between CancĂșn and Tulum. We make everyday trips to the Akumal bay where we connect with the tropical flora and fauna. The coral reef can be explored both snorkeling and scuba diving. Snorkeling in Akumal is suitable for all ages. While snorkeling in the reef you can see dozes of different fish species, the coral reef and the turtles that live in the reef. Everybody absolutely loves the experience, it is really a must do while your are on holiday in Tulum or Playa del Carmen. The first time we snorkeled with my family in the reef in Akumal bay, I had a strange insight: “each of those little golden and blue fishes had different faces, just like humans do.” Certainly you think about nature in a different way after witnessing the greatness of the coral reef and how important it is to protect this places.
