About this experience
What makes the Paamul tour unique is it's on a catamaran and when weather permits, we set sail to the bay and beach area. This is also one of our only tours where you can actually swim ashore and hang out on the beach.
Also, if you’re into fishing, you can participate in troll fishing on board the tour, and anything you catch we can prepare for you right there!
And of course, the snorkeling is always amazing at the Riviera Maya coast because it's a famous place to see and swim with sea turtles, tropical fish, and a whole host of marine life.
During the tour, the onboard crew will serve you anytime you’d like. There will be snacks and lunch and an open bar.
This is a great relaxing tour, perfect for friends and/or family on vacation. Perfect for beach and sea lovers alike.

Detailed itinerary
1
We cruise out of the Puerto Aventuras marina and head south sailing along the Riviera Maya coastline for about 45 minutes to an hour.
2
After sailing, we reach the beautiful and sheltered Paamul Bay with calm, crystal clear water. This area offers a great spot to snorkel around colorful tropical fish and reefs. When you're on board, our bartender and crew will serve snacks, cocktails, and refreshments from the open bar that includes tequila, vodka, rum or whiskey, bottled water, and other refreshments. Or maybe try one of our signature margaritas! They're always so refreshingly cold!
While you're enjoying a snorkel or some sun tanning on the catamaran, the crew will prepare a delicious and freshly made shrimp and fish ceviche with fresh guacamole. We'll stay in the sheltered bay for about 2-1/2 hours before heading back to the marina.
