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.

Excellent guide

The overall tour was great from start to finish, but this could have been we were only a group of two, not the max group (8, I think). The boat driving and and snorkeling were a great experience, with lots of different fishes to see. My son would have liked a big longer to snorkel, I think we had about 30-45 mins. One down side I would comment on is the arrival time. After pickup from the hotel and check-in at the tour we had a 40-50 min wait until the tour actually started. Please look at this.

The speedboat ride was fantastic. The area in the sea where our guide chose for us to snorkel was not good. The water was choppy and there was a strong current. We never saw the reef or any fish. We spent all our time in the water fighting the current and choppy water.

Best half day trip ever

The speed boat ride was brilliant would have liked more time (going slower) in the jungle part to try and experience some wildlife. Guide was brilliant explained everything and kept our safety his priority

Booking with our TUI hotel rep was straight forward. Great transfer service, very prompt! The excursion was amazing! One of the highlights of our visit in Mexico. The guide was clear and helpful especially when snorkelling, he pointed out Marine life and we saw a huge Barracuda. The whole of this experience was breathtaking and one to add to the memories! You will not be disappointed. Great experience all round.
