What you’ll do on the Aquatic Paradise in Tulum: Snorkel Yalku, Swim Cenote & Kaan Luum
This Tulum snorkel and cenote tour visits Kaan Luum Lagoon, the Luna y Sombra cenotes and the Yalkú inlet in one relaxed morning, with lunch included. It is a small-group water day for families with kids from age 4, beginner swimmers and nature lovers, with pickup in Playa del Carmen and Tulum and a bilingual eco-guide.
What you'll do
- Get picked up in Playa del Carmen or meet us at Súper Akí Tulum.
- Swim in Kaan Luum Lagoon, where shallow emerald water surrounds a deep cenote.
- Swim in the Luna y Sombra cenotes, quiet pools of clear, mineral-rich water under filtered jungle light.
- Snorkel the Yalkú inlet, a calm estuary where fresh water meets the sea, to spot tropical fish and soft coral.
- Or pick the reef option and snorkel the Tulum reefs instead, with views of the ruins from the water.
- Have lunch with your group before the ride back.
Who it's for
This tour is made for travelers who want a calm day in the water rather than an adrenaline rush. It suits all fitness levels, and Kaan Luum's shallow water is good for beginner swimmers. Children from 4 to 10 book a child ticket, and travelers 11 and older book an adult ticket. Choose Yalkú for calm water and colorful fish, or the reef for a true coral snorkel.

Read this before you book
Send us your accommodation first. Not every address can be reached by our vehicles. Send your hotel or Airbnb to one of our advisors on WhatsApp and they will confirm whether we pick you up at the door or agree a meeting point nearby.
Your pickup time is not the tour start time. They are very different. We collect you well before activities begin, because the drive and the other pickups on the route take time. Your advisor gives you your exact pickup time when your booking is confirmed — go by that time, not by the departure hour shown on this page.
