10 Speedboat Snorkeling Tours in Cancun Worth Booking

1.Reef Snorkeling & Jungle Speedboat Adventure with Mayan Ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,208 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Review of Cancun’s jungle speedboat, reef snorkeling, and Mayan ceremony tour, with honest advice on fees, safety, timing, and value.

“This was a great excursion we added to our trip. All the tour guides were great and have clear instructions. It’s great for all ages. The speed boat hold two adults comfortably. If you have a small child they ride with you if it’s another adult they will have to drive another speed boat. We saw plenty of fish during the snorkeling. I would highly recommend. The food was just okay and our bus was waiting so no time to really eat.”

2.Cancun speedboat and snorkel tour: shared speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,444 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $59

Review of Cancun’s shared speedboat and snorkel tour, including the lagoon ride, Punta Nizuc reef, costs, weather risks, and practical tips.

“This was a great short excursion. We have done a lot of long excursions on our trip so far, so it was nice to find something that was shorter and actually in Cancun. The whole excursion was about 2 1/2 hours. Driving the speed boats in the lagoon was fun and interesting. We did have to follow the leader in a caravan but at times could go pretty fast. During the snorkeling part we saw a lot of beautiful fish and some interesting underwater statues. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“Vom Veranstalter wurde die Tour Meeressafari genannt und so war es auch. Schnorcheln an 3 Spots mit unterschiedlicher Tiefe. Der Guide James war sehr gut. Er hat von vornherein gesagt, dass er uns nicht versprechen kann, wieviel und was wir sehen. Das fand ich super ehrlich. Aber wir haben jede Menge tolle Meeresfauna gesehen. Er hat uns im Wasser geführt und uns auf alle Tiere aufmerksam gemacht. Am letzten Spot sind wir den Adler- und Stachelrochen ganz nah gekommen. Immer wieder hat sich James vergewissern, ob es auch allen gut geht. Auch der Rest des Teams war sehr fürsorglich. Die Gruppengröße war mit ca. 15-18 Personen auch sehr angenehm. Das…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 16 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $129

Review of Cancun’s 5-in-1 adventure with speed boats, snorkeling, ATVs, ziplines, a cenote swim, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“The first part was great, getting access to speed boat and snorkeling. Our tour guide took us to deep part and let us snorkel for a long time. The glitch was having an hour essentially just waiting doing nothing until we got onto a tour van to do second part. We were in the jungle and ATV seemed short. We wished, we could've had some time to do things on our own instead of following crowd. Zipline was amazing. The two cenote's at center were great. I just feel they were overwhelmed and we were forgetten after we went to first cenote. We just waited and waited and finally went…”

10.Jungle Tour Adventure with Speedboat and Snorkeling.

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 15 reviews · 2 hours · from $67

Review of Cancun’s 2-hour jungle speedboat and Punta Nizuc snorkeling tour, with practical advice on cost, safety, weather, and value.

“Activité sympa mais ce n’est pas vraiment dans la jungle. Ne vous attendez pas à voir beaucoup d’animaux. Il y avait un crocodile mais était-ce vraiment un vrai crocodile? Il n’avait pas l’air. Il était posé devant le portail d’une habitation. Je doute fortement. Il y avait deux iguanes perchés a un arbre. La majeure partie de l’activité consistait à faire plusieurs tours de bateau et le moment dans la jungle était assez court. Nous n’avons pas pu faire du snorkeling parce qu’oui y avait du vent. Ça peut être une bonne activité avec les enfants.”
