What To Expect

*Mininum 2 guests per group*

Join La Leyenda ECO-TOURS for an unforgettable snorkeling experience while visiting Mahahual in the Costa Maya.

We begin the experience at our beach stand right next to Hotel 40 Cañones. We’ll enjoy a boat ride on one of our 25ft pangas to representative areas on the Great Mesoamerican reef, the second largest coral reef system in the world.

We will visit 2 different snorkeling spots, chosen to give you a wide view of the local flora and fauna, as well as for the best possibilities for encounters based on weather and water conditions.

These areas are populated with many Caribbean fish and coral species (Angelfish, Damselfish, Wrasses, Parrotfish, Grunts, Puffers and more). We may even see Spotted Eagle Rays or Green Sea Turtles.

We are strictly committed to sustainable fishing practices and low-impact tourism experiences on the great Mesoamerican reef system here in Mahahual, Quintana Roo.

After your trip you can relax on the beach in a hammock or enjoy some time on a paddleboard or kayak. Our area of beach is right alongside Hotel 40 Cañones and is totally free of sargassum.

We can also set you up with a beach club if you'd like!

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
