YAL-KU CENOTE Y Laguna Yalku

A fantastic place for snorkeling! The water is crystal clear, and there’s plenty of marine life to see. You can rent all the equipment on-site, and they accept card payments, which is super convenient. There were parking Sport for free. Highly recommended!

Such a cool place. There was parking when we arrived but if it gets busy I’m sure it fills up. There are showers, change rooms and washrooms (outhouse style). It is very clean and well taken care of. The price was only $300 to enter. Bring your own snorkel gear or pay to rent.

We had a great time snorkeling with 2 kids under 10. It was their first time snorkeling and the location provided exactly what they needed for an introduction to snorkeling. The water was calm, current free, and provided an easy first timer experience. The staff was incredibly kind and the equipment offered was all in great condition. Full face-masks, find, and life jackets (required) are included in the packages with equipment. We purchased our tickets online in the parking lot (free onsite parking) to avoid using our cash. Prices were the same online vs at the counter. The real drawback is the lack of a colorful underwater environment and the water was very turbid creating a hazy viewing condition. However, this wasn’t a top concern as our kids just needed a calm and quiet place to experience snorkeling for the first time.

The lagoon is beautiful! I highly recommend getting there early. Around 11 it started to get busy, and it became a little crowded. The water was clear and cool, and fish were plentiful! We rented gear from the front desk, and the masks were the full face snorkel masks that tend to fog up a lot. The current is strong to the right of the entrance, towards the ocean. Life jackets are required but weak swimmers be careful!

It’s nice family activity. You can see so many different color and variety of fishes just couple of ft down from you by snorkeling. Kids loves it.

Magnificent! You'll enjoy every minute snorkeling in this place. Fishes are all around you and if you get lucky you may see a Moray eel. There's a sweet water current that comes from cenotes and mixes here, so you may feel, when swimming, cold and warm water in seconds.

If you are looking for lots of fish and a variety of fish? Plus snorkelling in a safe environment? This is the place to go. We went twice during our trip because the access is so easy and we got to see more fish here than we normally see elsewhere. Best moment was being surrounded by a school of sardines. Just crazy!!! The staff is very friendly and this the smaller, locally owned operation. $300 MXN per adult.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. We loved our day at the lagoon. Wonderful snorkeling. It was worth paying for a guide to go out beyond the buoy line to the reef.
