Snorkeling Tours in Cancún

17 tours · €26–€275 per person · ★ 4.8

Snorkeling in Cancún means the reef, and the 17 tours here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €26 per person for a guided reef snorkel with a beach club stop to €275 at the top of the range, where the days go private or stack several stops. The formats differ: a speedboat you drive yourself through the lagoon to the reef and the MUSA underwater museum, a small group reef snorkel from Puerto Morelos, sea turtles at Akumal paired with a cenote swim, and combos that add a cenote, a shipwreck or a zipline park in one day.

A quick way to choose: the marine park and dock fee is almost never in the price and is paid in cash at check in, so add it to every quote; check whether hotel pickup is included, because the speedboat and reef tours often leave it out; and look at the minimum age, since cenote and turtle days start at six and the reef closes on rough days. The best reviewed snorkeling tours in Cancún come first below.
