Snorkel clear calm waters in search of incredible marine life at Yal-ku Lagoon. Explore a beautiful coastal environment with an unusual underwater topography, showcasing exciting small caves and canyons that could harbor seemingly anything, from sea turtles to parrotfish. If you're new to snorkeling or have younger children, this makes the a perfect environment to learn, thanks to calm waters and depths not exceeding 4.5 m (15 ft). Be sure to bring your own snorkel, water, snacks and sun block, as you won't find any amenities onsite. A visit to Yal-ku Lagoon represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Akumal attractions planner to plot your vacation.

  Der var mange fisk og spændende at udforske. Men der var for mange mennesker og meget sløret syn. Men ok til prisen hvis man selv kommer derud og bare betaler indgang  more »

  There were many fish and exciting to explore. But there were too many people and very blurred vision. But OK for the price if you even get out there and just pay the entrance
