Snorkeling

The Riviera Maya has the world's largest coral reef in the Western Hemishpere and the second largest barrier reef in the world.  Known as the Mesoamerican Reef, it runs from Cancun all the way to Honduras.  This makes Akumal the perfect destination for a snorkeling enthusiast.  There are a number of beaches that have fabulous snorkeling right from shore.  Turtles abound from May to October, although  there are turtles year round in the Akumal area.  Try an exciting night snorkel tour and see the how the underwater world  looks totally different  in the dark.  All you need is the basic snorkel equipment and a flashlight.  You can also enjoy snorkeling at many eco parks in the area that offer underground rivers, cenotes, caverns and lagoons!  You could spend a life time here exploring all the great snorkeling spots.
