Cancun Jungle Tour

The Jungle Tour is one of Cancun's most popular tours. It's centrally located so next to no travel time and only takes up half a day of your vacation. Due to it's popularity reservations should be made at least two days in advance, especially during high season.

Drive a speedboat for 45 minutes, James Bond style, from the lagoon through the twisty mangrove channel and out in to the ocean. Stop off at one of the best reefs in the area for 45 minutes snorkeling and then make the return journey back through the ocean, mangroves and lagoon.

The Jungle Tour departs from the Sunrise Marina at Km 15 opposite the Marriott hotels and in the same parking lot as The Crab House Restaurant. Of the twenty plus outfits offering similar tours this is one of only three that takes you to Cancun's famous Angel Reef, the others go to the more heavily populated reef at Nizuc. This means you visit a less disturbed reef and therefore both the number and variety of flora and fauna are better which provides you with a much better snorkel experience.

While snorkeling the boats are tethered together. Life vests are not only provided but their use is mandatory, even for strong swimmers.
Departures are 8am, 9am, 10:30am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 3:30pm and 4:30pm.

Includes: Life vest, snorkel gear, bilingual guide and bottled water. Does not include $2 Reef tax payable on the day.

Prices Adults $45, Kids (4-10yrs) $27 for a two person boat. Four persons boats are available too.
