Discover laid-back Puerto Morelos, an enchanting fisherman town gaining popularity as a resort area.
Not far from its coast, you find one of the best snorkeling locations available, the second largest coral reef barrier in the world.
Board the expedition boat, heading out to open sea. Jump into the water and snorkel, swimming above colorful corals bustling with tropical fish. Encounter the fascinating marine fauna featuring playful sergeant majors, butterflyfish, parrotfish, snappers and barracudas. You might even spot some turtles, sea urchins and lobsters.
Back on the beach, relish a delicious light lunch then, enjoy some free time at this colorful small town.
Puerto Morelos is a great place to do some shopping or just walk through the main plaza and local streets as the experience comes to its end.

Amazing trip with amazing guides! This was the highlight of our trip to the area. After the briefing about snorkeling and caring for the reef we went out on a quick 5 min boat ride to the reef. We snorkeled for about an hour and saw endless tropical fish and coral along with a sea turtle, eagle ray, yellow stingray, barracuda, moray eel, and so much more! Obviously we got lucky and I’m not sure everyone will see that much. The guides were fun and knowledgeable.
After snorkeling we put in our orders for tacos then went back to the main location where we started across the street from the beach where the boat is located. Then they did an education and tasting of tequila. We don’t drink, so this wasn’t entertaining or interesting to us at all, but the others in the group seemed to like it. Then we got tacos that were just ok, but still fun to sit on a balcony overlooking the ocean to eat. While eating, the photographer (Mario - our favorite) came to show us the pictures from snorkeling on his iPad. The pictures were amazing and we spent the $1050 pesos for him to send them to our phones.
Pro tip, after tacos we had almost two hours of wait time until our van came. We rented a moped from the shop Nextdoor for $25 and explored this amazing town.

Great tour guides! MiguelAngel (Mike) was great from start to finish always making sure we knew what to expect and where to go. His tequila knowledge is great as well :) Thanks for an awesome excursion!

What a bad service! The people here are likely want to take all of your money. Firstly the driver picked up us at 8:50, then asking for the tip directly in the car. When we reached the destination, the assistant guide us some thing before snorkeling. Remember guide, they DO NOT allow us bring the camera or phone during snorkeling. But during snorkeling, the tour guide has the camera and took photos for us, then he charged $49 for all photos. I said no for this charge! Other than that, before going to snorkeling, we need to lock our stuffs in the drawer. The assistant gave us the lock and requested 200 pesos for deposit. We were alright for that. However, when we returned the lock back and took back the deposit, the tour guide keep holding our money and asked: "how much will you tip for me today?". Wth is this service? We are only tip for the service which we are satisfied, not forcing to tip then. The snorkeling was so so, not much corals and fishes. The lunch included but just 3 small tacos, not enough for a lunch. We had to go to the super store near by to buy more things to eat. When we returned back, the driver asked for tip again 🙃 Never recommend!

It’s a very fun activity to do. They will bring you to a boat and take you to the reef. It took me a few minutes to get to used to it since I haven’t snorkeled before but once I got the hang of it, it was beautiful! You can’t take your phone in the water but they will take pictures and offer it to you for $. The lunch part will be after snorkeling even if you choose the afternoon slot so you will have “lunch” at around 4pm. It was tacos on the beach and they were delicious. Great vibes.

We had a wonderful afternoon trip. Our guide pointed out several interesting things in the reef that we would have overlooked with out him. The tacos afterward were delicious and we ate on a deck overlooking the sea. Beautiful!

Good for first timers or someone who is not 100% comfortable in the water. The instructors were great, so would definitely recommend! The only thing that put me off was organization of the trip, as it was advertised as 4h but ended up being 7h due to waiting around for others.

Fun adventure with outstanding tour group. Freda and the whole crew was fun. We saw amazing colorful fish and corals. Included with our tour was tequila tasting and an outstanding lunch of delicious fish tacos.
The tequila tasting included how tequila is grown, harvested and fermented. Following the presentation we got to sample 6 different types and flavors of tequila.
I highly recommend this tour and visiting the small village of Puerto Móreles.
