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 the open bar.

This is a great relaxing tour, perfect for friends and/or family on vacation. Perfect for beach and sea lovers alike.
