Speedboat jungle tour and snorkelling at Punta Nizuc

4/5
10 reviews

Feel the thrill of driving your own speedboat on this guided jungle tour. You'll set off through the mangrove trees of Nichupte Lagoon while you try and spot some of the wildlife the lagoon is famous for, like crocodiles and migratory birds. Then, you'll dive into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to snorkel in the second-largest barrier reef in the world, Punta Nizuc. Here you'll see the reef's native species – manatees and turtles call this place home.

    A little underwhelming. I know the spotting of wildlife can’t be controlled but the mangrove trees didn’t seem to house a lot of animals. Neither did the place where we snorkelled. There was a a lot fish but no turtles or manatee or birds. I also felt it came to an abrupt end when another tour came over to snorkel in the same area. The only positive was driving your own speedboat. That was quite fun and our guide was nice.

    This trip was awesome. We were lucky and the only ones booked. So we had a private excursion. Speedboats were great and good fun. The snorkelling was excellent. Saw a few statues on the reef. Loads of fish. Barracuda, Squid and lobsters. A 3 hour round trip from Grand Sirenis but totally worth it for the 2+ excursion. Highly recommend this trip.

    The snorkelling was cancelled. But we were only told this after travelling from riviera maya for 90 mins. They said we should have been told by TUI. But this is not true as we would have cancelled

    If you read the other reviews you would avoid this one, but don't! We had a fantastic time. Raul look2d after us brilliantly and we speedboated from one end of the lagoon to the other and then had 45 mins snorkeling. Again Raul was fabulous and showed us the statues and lots of fish and other interesting sights. We then got to speedboat back the length of the lagoon. Brilliant fun, even with a long journey to get there. Brilliant VFM too
