≈ 10 min"Akumal" means "place of the turtles" in Maya. Snorkel with green sea turtles grazing in the calm, protected bay.
Tip: go early in the morning and hire a certified local guide — it's required in the protected zone.
≈ 10 minA sheltered lagoon where fresh water meets the sea — full of colourful fish and perfect for first-time snorkellers and kids.
Tip: bring reef-safe sunscreen only — regular sunscreen isn't allowed.
