Cenotes and Snorkel
Overview
Take a dive and immerse yourself in the enigmatic waters of an ancient Mayan cenote in the company of an expert who will guide you through impressive caverns so you can closely explore its stalactites and stalagmites. Continue your adventure diving through the incredible Yalku Lagoon, famous for its great variety of tropical fish.
Millions of years ago, much of the Yucatan Peninsula was covered by seawater. As the levels of the oceans decreased in the Ice Age, the water receded until the peninsula we know today is discovered. This great movement of water produced massive erosion and the creation of numerous systems of caves and sinks connected to the sea.
If you know where to look, today you can find bodies of seawater hidden inside the land of the Yucatan Peninsula on the outskirts of Cancun, these are the famous cenotes.

Frequently Asked Questions (13)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
