We can all admit swimming with turtles is kinda a dream for most of us. They are safe, amazingly cool reptiles, that make us think of Crush, from the movie Finding Nemo. The Green turtle, Haksbill turtle and Loggerhead Turtles are just one of the amazing creatures you may encounter while swimming and snorkeling in the Riviera Maya aboard our catamaran charters. We cannot promise you will see turtles on your catamaran charter. They are wild and they have seasons.
One of the most important things while swimming with turtles, or snorkeling in the Riviera Maya is to respect our sea creatures. Do not touch, harm or chase any of the sea life you encounter.
Catamarans tend to be better than yachts to get closer and they tend to make less noise.
PLEASE wear sunscreen that is REEF SAFE, or better yet, none at all, use a swim shirt and put sunscreen on when back on the boat.
Our snorkel guides are trained to take you on underwater snorkeling adventures that protect you and the wild life you encounter. Come on and out and learn more fun facts about the super cool creatures on our catamaran sailing adventures.
These stunning and majestic turtles can live up to 100 years old and with your help we can all enjoy sharing them in the Mexican Caribbean for a long time to come.
The months of June thru November are the nesting and hatching season for Turtles in in the Riviera Maya.
April thru up to August we have turtles heading up to the beaches to lay their eggs. Please remember if you are renting an airbnb or private villa leave your exterior porch light in the rear off or ask you manager to install red lights so that the turtles feel safe coming up to the beach to breed.. These species are protected but we need to help as well.
Every year in October there are festivals to release turtles back into the ocean that that take place all along the Rivera Maya. There is one at Xcaret pack as well as one at Xcacel Beach. So during the month of October right up to the end if you are lucky you may even see a baby trying to get out to sea.
