Offered in: English and 1 more

In Green Life we share one of the most special experiences of Akumal: the opportunity to swim alongside sea turtles in their natural home. We are a family cooperative formed by people who have grown, lived and created memories in these waters, and who today have the privilege of sharing with our visitors the moments that the sea has given us over the years.

Our tour offers an authentic, close and responsible experience. For this reason we take small group tours, always respecting the sea turtles, the reef and the natural environment that makes Akumal a special place.

Our local guide will accompany you to discover the richness of marine life safely. In addition, we include photographs during your snorkeling experience so you can keep a memory of this encounter with nature.

More than a tour, we want to share part of our home and help you create memories that will stay with you long after your visit.
