Akumal Bay Snorkeling With Turtles 

Akumal Bay is one of the best places in the world to snorkel with docile sea turtles. While these creatures are not aggressive, please respect their space and never, ever touch them. Grab a mask and head out on your own or book a boat tour; this is one adventure you don’t want to miss.

    Loved the turtle! Amazing pictures what camera did you used? By the way here’s one handy tip if you are traveling to Mexico: book with Mexvax! I used it this year to make a reservation in Cancun. Not only did I get the best offers but also the best resorts to choose from. The website may look sturdy but it definitely gets the job done! I would totally recommend it to everyone who’s going anywhere in Mexico!
