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!

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.
