Snorkeling in Tulum covers cenotes and sea trips here: we read every listing and picked 8 tours by hand, all rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €72 per person for a cenote and lagoon outing or a reef trip by powerboat to €750 for a private sail with a chef onboard. The cenote and lagoon outing bundles snorkeling gear with transport from most hotels in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, so you do not have to arrange either yourself.
A quick way to choose: reef snorkeling from Tulum on the Cozumel trip means a separate ferry fee and extra travel time; the private sail excludes transport and dock fees; the Casa Cenote paddleboarding trip provides transport from Tulum Town but excludes hotel pickup.
