If you've heard all about our beautiful beaches and coral reef formations but nothing about where exactly you should go, then fear not, for I have come bearing answers.

1. Palancar Reef: Known for its stunning underwater landscapes and abundant marine life, it is a must-visit-extremley-popular destination for any snorkeling enthusiast. You'll have the chance to swim alongside colorful fish, sea turtles, and (if you get lucky) eagle rays.
2. Columbia Reef: This reef is famous for its towering coral formations and an impressive variety of marine species. Watch out for moray eels, lobsters, and schools of tropical fish as you explore the underwater wonderland of Columbia Reef. Tours to Columbia Reef tend also to include Palancar Reef.
3. Paradise Reef: As the name suggests, Paradise Reef is a true snorkeler's paradise. With its shallow waters and calm currents, this spot is perfect for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike.  Tours to Paradise Reef tend to be shorter since it's fairly close to the shoreline, but most of the time is spent on the water with an up-close view of vibrant corals and playful marine life.
4. Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park: This popular park offers a unique snorkeling experience with underwater statues and sculptures. Explore the park's designated snorkeling area and discover a world of art and nature beneath the surface, and when you're done, lounge around at the facilities or partake in one of their fun activities!!!
