Cenotes & Barrier Reef - Yucatan, Mexico Family Diving Vacation 2025
Apr 1 - Apr 7
Yucatan Peninsula is famous for its cenotes, but did you know that the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, lies just off the coast of Cancun?
Experience the world’s best underwater caverns, immerse yourself in the warm, crystal blue Caribbean barrier reef, stay at the worry free 5-star, all-inclusive signature Mexican resort in Puerto Aventura, conveniently located just 60 miles south of Cancun. This area is the gateway to all the fun activities divers can dream of. We don’t go on many resort-based trips, but land-based accommodations are must to fully enjoy what this area has to offer. This is a great trip to bring your family. Non-divers are welcome! Come with us on this rare Ocean Safari tour on solid ground instead of rocking and rolling!
