The 14 Best Puerto Morelos Tours & Reef Trips

1.Rio Secreto Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 177 reviews · 6.5 - 8 hours · from $119Our pick

Explore Rio Secreto near Playa del Carmen with a guide, swim through limestone caves, enjoy lunch, and travel by air-conditioned van.

“Seeing Rio Secreto is an amazing experience and our guide José was great. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take pictures as there is a photographer from the tour operator with each group and they sell the photos later for 30$ each. The transport from Cancún was good, but for the transport back I was put in a bus that stopped several times in Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos and Resorts outside of Cancún which caused the drive to take more than 2 hours. I guess as I was a solo traveller, they just used me to fill up a bus, but I pay as much as every other customer…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 98 reviews · 4 hours · from $39

Snorkel Puerto Morelos’ Great Mayan Reef, enjoy tacos by the beach, and explore town with hotel pickup from Cancun and Riviera Maya.

“We had an amazing snorkeling experience. We came on vacation with some friends and this activity was highly recommended to us, so we decided to take the tour in the morning. One thing we really liked was that the tour includes transportation, which was very helpful since it was our first time in Cancun and we didn’t know the area. They picked us up from our hotel without any issues. During the ride everything was very pleasant. When we arrived at location, the staff was already waiting for us to place us in the group we would be snorkeling with. The weather was perfect and the water was crystal clear.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 9 reviews · 6 hours · from $52

Compare ATV, zipline, and cenote highlights on this six-hour jungle tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya, including transport and shared ATV use.

“This experience was horrible from beginning to end. The pick up was all of a sudden 2hours later than first communicated and we could not contact the provider in the meantime. Once there, you can not take pictures yourself or they literally take your phone from your hands and keep it till the end in a very impolite way. Afterwards they tried to charge our group 60 dollars for a few pictures that they took and some other couple they asked 100 dollars for the pictures. The ziplining was very boring and only 4 short lines built a few meters above the ground. The quad ride was very slow. The…”

“Tour war ereignisreich -Zipline hat super viel Spaß gemacht, Transport der Hin- und Rückfahrt sehr angenehm, toll organisiert; hätten uns mehr Zeit mit dem ATV gewünscht, Strecke war auch eher unspektakulär- sind andere Strecken gewöhnt; Abkühlung in der Cenote wunderbar, anschließender Lunch sehr lecker; leider war uns das Fotopaket mit 100 Dollar doch zu teuer, so haben wir die Erinnerungen nur im Herzen, weil überall keine Fotos gestattet sind; Guides super freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend; Ambiente / Location einmalig; Tour empfehlenswert”

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 5 reviews · 5 hours · from $55

Snorkel Puerto Morelos coral reef, enjoy two tacos, visit the village, and ride round-trip from your hotel for $55.

“We were very disappointed. The staff were more interested in selling things to us than in client comfort or ensuring that we had a positive snorkelling experience. We were driven to their office where we were escorted through their store to purchase items. Then we had to sit in a room for 10 minutes before being taken to a hot van where we waited another 10 minutes before departing to the boat. Upon arrival at the Beach Club, we were told that we were allowed to take nothing on board. So our phones, wallets with credit cards and money were left in an unlocked locker. The boat ride was nice.…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 3 reviews · 2 hours · from $68

Review of Jungle Paradise’s Air & Water Tour in Quintana Roo, with seven ziplines, an open cenote, lunch, transport, and practical booking advice.

“Bruno, ustedes venden este tour como que el último es a las 3 pm y en realidad el proveedor dice que ellos no tienen tour a esa hora, entonces, si nos permitieron entrar al parque, sin embargo yo tuve que pagar el transporte de ida y como ellos nos daban el transporte de vuelta, desde que llegamos tuvieron una actitud horrible con nosotros, nos apuraban todo el rato, nos hicieron mucho énfasis en que no tenían ese tour a esa hora. No querían darnos lo del tequila, no querían darnos el transporte, bueno en fin, una experiencia fea por ese asunto, quizá a otra hora la experiencia hubiera sido diferente.…”
