He took use to two different spots and made our snorkeling experience the best we've had! The amazing photographer on board took not only pictures of our family but a picture of all the things we saw. He only charged a small amount to keep all the photos and promptly sent them via email.

“We were booked for a Tuesday snorkel, they were flexible about us changing time slots from the 8 to the 10. The weather was windy, red flag on the reef, so they had to cancel, we did it the following day and managed to have a private tour just me and my father on his 80th, it was pretty awesome. Plenty of people on the reef today, but the guides kept us separated so you really were uninterrupted. We saw two kinds of sea rays, a turtle, hundreds of vibrantly colored fish, a turtle, a cormorant, lots of coral sprouts. Protect the reef, don't wear sunblock or bug spray. Beautiful…”

“We had a fantastic time! Everyone from the person picking us up to the crew on the boat was extremely nice and inviting. The snorkeling was fun, but a fair warning that it is quite a bit of swimming as you’re required to anchor the boat a ways off the reef and then swim over. We got so see all kinds of coral and fish though so it was worth it. For sure would recommend for anyone looking to spend a day in the ocean.”

Tacos included afterwards, drinks extra cost. 5 minute boat ride and an hour snorkel in clear very warm water about five feet deep made it a very pleasant snorkel trip. Youngsters will benefit with being familar with snorkelling, clearing masks etc and not too young because there was a slight current going out. Decent amount of fish, and coral not in bad shape overall compared with many other places i have been with plenty of soft…”

Shared Transportation From Cancun Airport to Puerto Morelos

15.Shared Transportation From Cancun Airport to Puerto Morelos

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 30 reviews · 1 to 3 hours (approx.)

Meet the Nexus Tours team outside Cancun Airport’s arrivals hall and share an air-conditioned minivan, with space for up to 15, to a centrally located hotel in Puerto Morelos. The one-way ride runs around the clock, but shared departures can mean a wait. Give the operator your flight and hotel details, then confirm your pickup time before you travel.

“In all fairness, I have Nexus a low star rating for my transfer from the CUN airport to the hotel because of a very long wait time. On the way back, my shuttle arrived at the hotel just about 10 minutes after the arranged time, which is really not a delay when one thinks about the heavy traffic. I'll give them another try in a month or two. The pricing is fair and reasonable.”
