Playa del Carmen, Mexico

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

In Green Life we share much more than a snorkeling tour: we share a part of our home. We are a local and family cooperative formed by people who have grown up in Akumal and who have created memories in these waters throughout their lives.

What makes this experience special is the opportunity to discover the bay alongside people who know and love this place. Our tours take place in small groups, allowing us to offer closer and more personalized attention, always with respect to sea turtles and the natural environment.

In addition to swimming alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat, you can admire the richness of the marine life of the bay and take pictures and videos of your experience to preserve this special memory.

More than a tourist activity, we want you to live Akumal from a local, authentic and human perspective, creating memories that accompany you long after your visit.
