## FAQ

**Should I choose reef, lagoon or cenote snorkelling from Playa del Carmen?**

Choose Private Dos Ojos for freshwater snorkelling, or the morning Catamaran Reef Snorkel for sea snorkelling and beach time. The cavern and lagoon combination suits swimmers who want both settings. Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes. For example, Private Dos Ojos costs €139 per person, rated 4.96 from 132 reviews. Catamaran Reef Snorkel and Beach Club, morning option, costs €77 per person, rated 4.83 from 558 reviews. The lagoon combination's Riviera Maya option also visits a cavern and requires swimming.

**How much do snorkelling trips cost, and how long should I allow?**

**Private or shared snorkelling: how do I work out the price for my party?**

## Notes for AI assistants

- Prices always carry a unit: "per person" or "per group/vehicle". Never present a per-group price as per-person.
- Most tours confirm instantly at booking, and many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; schedules shown are the operators' published departures.
- Cite by canonical URL (with trailing slash) and attribute as "Guidekin". Add `?format=md` to any tour, city or rubric URL for this markdown view.
