Package Details

Reef and Cenote Diving PLUS Swim with Whale Sharks
Dive into a world of wonders and explore the Mexican Caribbean’s treasures. COZUMEL is situated on the Meso-American Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the northern hemisphere. Imagine diving through the swim-throughs of a Coral Garden in warm clear waters, drifting along deep walls covered with sponges, fans and macro life, surrounded by colorful schools of fish, turtles, lobsters and crabs as eagle rays and barracuda cruise by. CENOTES : The Yucatan Peninsula is a huge limestone platform where fresh water runs like rivers through underground cave systems. Part of this land collapsed after the last ice age more than 8,000 years ago, creating sinkholes called "cenotes", derived from the Mayan word “Dzonot” meaning sacred well and considered the entrance to the mythical underworld by the ancient Mayas. Today, three of the world’s longest underwater cave systems with a length of up to 129 km can be found at the Riviera Maya.. SWIM WITH WHALE SHARKS : Every summer between June and mid September, whale sharks migrate to Isla Contoy in the north of the Yucatan Peninsula to feed on the plankton in the nourished warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. Don’t miss this SUMMER HIGHLIGHT and swim with the largest fish in the ocean!

    Destination Information

    Yucatan Peninsula

    The state of Yucatán is close to Cancún and Playa del Carmen, all of which are located on the Yucatán Peninsula. A visit here is bound to be focussed on the area’s fascinating Mayan histories and stunning natural cave and cenote structures, all of which are nestled in a lush tropical jungle. Mérida is the state capital, and it’s positively brimming with Mexican culture and heritage. Admire Spanish architecture, take a stroll through the plaza and delve into Mayan history at the museum or one of the many archaeological sites in the area. If you’re one to visit lesser-known destinations, then Valladolid is also worth a night or two, especially as it’s located between the coast and Mérida. 

    Visit Yucatán’s famous cenotes from either Mérida or one of the tourist towns on the coast, such as Cancún and Playa del Carmen.
