What made this excursion especially fun was the fact it was 2 adventures in 1. Not only did we get to go snorkeling which was what we originally intended to do, but we got to go jet skiing too. This company offers a Jungle Tour that starts out on jet skis through the mangroves. The tour guide is on the front jet ski and your job is to stay up with him. You can get going pretty fast, but it's a ball. We had one guy fall off his jet ski when he tried to cut across the wake of the one in front of him. Someone else lost a hat so we scooped it up on our way by it. I got drenched and almost thrown off of my jet ski when I went through a wake. Everyone is equipped with life vests so at least there's no danger of drowning when you fly off! As you are making your way through this area, there is a camera in the trees taking pictures of each jet skier which you can purchase when you return after your days event. It's actually a great idea so that you can keep the memory of what it was like on the ride.
After the jet ski ride, you arrive in the ocean and line up your jet skis and tie them off together. It's now time to get out your snorkeling gear given to you back at the dock. Everyone is asked to leave on their life vest because they do not want the coral on the reef damaged by people diving down to touch it. We all went off on our own floating along and exploring the sites. I enjoyed snorkeling with a life vest because I'm not a strong swimmer so this allowed me to float and really soak in the underwater life without struggling to stay afloat. Make sure to bring along an underwater camera on this tour.
As the time approached to return, everyone made their way back to their jet ski and the tour guide broke out the drinks. Yes, each adult was entitled to an alcoholic drink and youngsters to a non-alcoholic one, but I passed knowing we had a long drive back to the shore and I wanted to be fully alert.
When we arrived back at the dock, we were told we got to keep the snorkel as a souvenir. Of course the kids loved that...anything they perceive as free! This was a very exciting adventure. I would take this tour every time I went back to Cancun it was that fun.
