My first time snorkeling ever. How amazing. The water is so clear that you can see the fish swimming around before you get in. It took me a while to get the hand of the gear, not because it’s hard to use but because I’m a chicken when it comes to being on water with sea creatures around you. The views of the area are simply amazing. Even when I was not in the water, I was amazed at the beautiful surroundings. The drive to get to this lake is also gorgeous. It’s one of those little towns where you wish to one day retire.

This is a MUST if ever near Akumal. Snorkeling in this beautiful lagoon is amazing. It’s really big area with lots to see. You can rent a cabana for those that like to take breaks and use hammocks. The path on land is beautiful with some amazing statues. It’s 100 pesos and well worth it. That’s about 8 $ ish US dollars. They even have snorkel and life jacket rentals.

Yal-ku is a pretty decent little cenote deep in the Akumal colony. It’s a little further off the beaten path than the mega-cenotes of Xel Ha and Xplor, but the lower prices and laid-back vibe reflect that. The snorkeling here is better the earlier in the day you hit it, as the murk can get stirred up as the day goes on and more folks churn it up. The main attraction in this brackish lagoon is a massive, never-ending school of small silver fish, that basically occupy most of the lagoon. They’re fodder for the pelicans that hunt here, but form an incredibly mesmerizing mass of fish that you can swim through and amongst. It’s a really magical feeling swimming with a school this large so close in to shore, and having them be somewhat acclimated to you. There’s not a ton of fancy coral here, but there are some interesting colored fish to see, some cool little holes to dive down in to, and some decent shade to hide in on the shore. You can swim all the way out to the beach from the lagoon, which leads me to believe that you could easily just park out on the public beach access and swim in from the shore to check out the fish. Being one who hates crowds, especially at natural wonders, I enjoyed this little slice of cenote life.
