The Cancun Jungle tour is one of Cancun's most popular tours. Departing from the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone this is probably the simplest tour to do, is great value and only takes up half of your day. Drive your own speedboat across the vast expanse of the lagoon at high speed. Swerve your way through the mangroves crossing under the road bridge that separates the lagoon from the ocean and out to the beautiful Angel reef. Once at the reef site the boats are tethered together and you are given an opportunity to snorkel in the beautiful blue Caribbean sea at one of the best snorkeling sites within striking distance of the hotel zone. A myriad of colorful fish and coral formations await. Life jackets are not only provided but their use is insisted upon even for strong swimmers. The journey out to the reef takes 45 minutes and snorkeling lasts for 45 minutes. With a total tour time of approximately 2.5 hours this is an ideal activity that wont take up all your day and is great fun for kids.
