# Night Snorkeling - Observation of octopus and other species

**Guidekin's take:** Search for octopuses, squid and other marine life after dark on a night snorkel, with sightings dependent on what appears. Snorkel gear, diving lamps and experience videos are included; ferry and taxi journeys are extra, and moderate fitness is required. 4.85 from 67 reviews at €45 per person for 1h 30m.

In our comparison: #11 of 23 in Snorkeling Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Night Snorkeling is a unique experience since unlike Night Diving, you don’t need to have a special certification or know how to swim and you won’t find this activity elsewhere in Mexico.

We will take you safely to appreciate species that have a lot of activity during the night, our main objective is to be able to find octopuses and squid to enjoy the spectacle they give with their impressive camouflage, to find them we must work as a team and along the way we will find other species more from which we will also learn a lot. 
Octopuses and squid are very beautiful animals I have intelligent that you must come to appreciate alive in their natural habitation.

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
