Destination & Adventures
Discover the Undersea World of Akumal
Looking to explore a single spot with a superb barrier reef that is well preserved and teeming with fish, and with seagrass beds full of green turtles and stingrays? Then head for Akumal, the most famous and busiest spot in the Mayan Riviera. Facing a white sandy beach lined with coconut trees, the crystal-clear waters are the guarantee (despite the high visitor numbers) of an exceptional snorkeling experience.
Loggerhead, Green and Hawksbill turtles are frequently seen in the area. They arrive each summer to lay their eggs.
Grouper and large jaw fish live among the giant sponges while stingrays grace the sandy bottom.

Half Moon Bay
If you’re looking for the perfect place to familiarize yourself with white, soft sands and the occasional friendly sea turtle, you’ve come to the right place at Half Moon Bay in Akumal, Mexico! Watch the blue waters lap onto a calm ocean shore, in a coastal setting described by visitors and locals alike as a setting as beautiful and calmly majestic as any in Akumal.
North Akumal
Still officially “Akumal”, the North Akumal Beach stretches around Half Moon Bay. The bay waters are calm as this stretch of the beach is protected by a reef break. Being close to Yal-ku Lagoon , a fresh water river that runs out to the sea, makes North Akumal Beach a colorful underwater world adventure. North Akumal has always been a hot destination spot for snorkelers and scuba divers searching for tropical fish, turtles and coral beds.

Natural aquarium with many activities
Sprawling natural aquarium offering activities such as snorkeling & swimming with dolphins Xel-Ha is a natural aquatic park and ecotourism all-inclusive development where crystal clear underground rivers meet and mix with the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Translated from the Mayan language, Xel-Ha means “the mixture of the waters.” The grounds and activities available are extensive. There are many aquatic activities to choose from: snorkeling in Aventura Cenote, swimming in underwater grottos, kayaking across the Black Lagoon, or floating on a tube down a lazy river ride into a lagoon.
Yal-ku Lagoon
Yal-ku Lagoon is an inlet from the ocean and contains a mixture of fresh and salt water. The calm turquoise waters are home to sea turtles, tropical fish and manta rays and makes for a nice day or afternoon of snorkeling. There are two companies, each with their own entrance to the lagoon, that provide everything you need for your day of snorkeling: snorkeling rental equipment, life jackets, changing rooms, lockers, showers, and bathrooms.Look for starfish and urchins, damselfish, sergeant majors, hamlets, parrot fish, blue tangs and queen trigger fish, among other Caribbean species. Most of the lagoon is 5 to 15 feet deep and there are rocks where you climb on and rest.
