Snorkeling allows everyone, to explore the underwater world. This activity has become extremely popular among tourists from all over the world. It is such safe aquatic sports that even kids can participate, and makes it the perfect activity to enjoy with your family. Between the wonderful coral reef and "cenotes" (sinkholes) in the region there is always an unexplored spot.
Snorkeling in Playa del Carmen is far better from a boat than off shore, so chartering a boat is recommended. Trips out to some of the local reefs give snorkelers the chance to explore a variety of ocean life. The reefs that can be explored when snorkeling in Playa are ideal for this activity because they have a maximum depth of 15 feet, meaning that the best is near the surface.
The turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea are great for scuba diving to experience underwater life on the Great Mayan Reef. The coral formations extending along a large portion of the coast are an unforgettable sight, which allows you to explore the largest coral reef in the Northern Hemisphere. The numerous subterranean rivers and "cenotes", formed by water filtering through the limestone, provide another option for those who love diving. Many locations within the jungle provide rental equipment as well as guides and instructors for cave diving.
If you are interested on learning how to dive, we can organize some classes for you or even help you obtain your certification. Just contact your Villa Host for more information.

The natural wonders of this Region are innumerable and some of the most important and unusual are the Cenotes, or sinkholes. It is estimated that there are more than 6000 in the Yucatan Peninsula, although only 2400 are registered. The Mayans called them “dzonot”, which the conquering Spaniards translated as Cenote.
Cenotes are magical, enigmatic and unique in the world and were once the only resource for fresh, sweet water in the local jungle.
They were the sacred places of the Mayas for that reason, but also because they represented the entrance to the underworld. The stalactites and stalagmites that form inside are true natural works of art. In many, holes in the ceiling allow the sunlight to filter, giving the scene a magical feeling. The Cenotes are a natural treasure that should be seen by all, keeping in mind that they should be protected so that man does not destroy in a few days what nature took millions of years to create. The many Cenotes that are in the Riviera Maya are a good choice for swimming, snorkeling and, for the more experienced, even diving.
Important: Do not touch any of the funds and walls in the dive, and please do not use suntan lotion before the bath as they can seriously pollute the pristine waters of the cenotes, destroying plant and animal species that are only found i n them.
Recommendations: Bring: swimsuit, sandals or sneakers, towel, insect repellent (biodegradable), shirt and long pants if you are walking through the jungle and snorkel if you don't want to rent it.
The Swimming with dolphins activity includes several activities such as jumping, hugging, kissing, markings, swirls, foot push and free interaction. In addition, throughout the programs trainers outlined interesting information about animal behavior, diet, health and care. Trainers should be always open to answer all questions about dolphin's world.
If you have done this before, maybe you would like to experience two types of Swimming with dolphins that are entirely new and unique in the global market: one is called Dolphin Trek, a scuba diving with dolphins program (no diving experience required and is totally safe), and the other, The One, which is a unique program where you will live this experience only by yourself for an hour with a dolphin. And for the ones that are really into the dolphin's world, maybe you would like to experience a day as a trainer!
Swimming (snorkel only) with the ocean's largest fish the "whale shark" is one of the most exciting things you'll do while in Riviera Maya and probably in your life!
The annual migration of whale sharks, actually the largest such concentration in the world, begins in May as the whale sharks return again for their summer feeding season here near the top tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. They come every year to "eat" nature's buffet of algae, plankton, krill, fish eggs, & tiny brine shrimp.
While feeding on this bountiful buffet the whale sharks swim along the surface of the sea with "mouths wide open" (mouths big enough to swallow a grown man in one gulp but...they're harmless "vegetarians" who are no threat to man, woman or child). Kids from 4 yrs & up can swim; it is perfectly safe for the whole family!
If you stay in Villa Aqua between the months of May and September don't miss the opportunity to do this activity which we are sure will be the "highlight of your vacation".
Dare to dive with these mysterious rulers of the sea! From November to February every year the Bull Sharks come to Playa to feed and to breed. They are thought by many to be one of the most dangerous sharks. See the other side to these magnificent fish, showing just how little there is to be feared and giving you one of the most incredible experiences possible, up close and personal with the Bull Sharks.
They are naturally curious animals and will pass within 2-3 feet sometimes in order to get a good look at the divers. In order to participate in this experience, you need to be a certified diver with experience and good buoyancy control and air consumption.
Kiteboarding, or kitesurfing, is just about the coolest sport on the planet! This exhilarating sport combines aspects of surfing, wakeboarding, paragliding, and more. Imagine being able to pull off all your favorite wakeboard moves without the assistance of a boat. Ride wherever you want with only the tranquil sound of the wind in your ears. Jump 30-feet off flat water without a ramp, surf more waves in one day than you ever thought possible. Your age, weight, or past experiences are no-excuses. As long as have the desire to learn, and are willing to follow recommendations then you'll be able to learn Kite boarding and enjoy it!!!
Normally the best period is from mid of November until the end of May but even summertime (June/July/August) can give some very good windy kiteboarding days.
