A hidden lagoon. Two oceans. Rays gliding beneath you.
90 minutes of guided wonder — then the lagoon is yours
Yalku Lagoon sits where an underground cenote river meets the Caribbean: sheltered, wave-free water with visibility so clear you can spot a parrotfish from 10 metres.
90 minutes guided through the lagoon's best spots — rays, angelfish, groupers — then stay as long as you like. Life jacket, mask, brand-new tube and park entry all included.
All of this is covered in your $35
Yours the moment you arrive — float effortlessly, hands free, at any experience level
Quality mask fitted and ready — the clearest view you'll have under water
Fresh, unused snorkel tube every single time — breathe easy without a second thought
Entry to Yalku's protected reserve is included — no surprise charge at the gate
Xarou's team leads you through the lagoon's best spots for a full hour and a half
Tour ends — you don't have to. Stay and explore the lagoon on your own, for as long as you want
What guests say
"The stingray came so close I could have touched it. Yalku is unlike anything I've ever seen."
"Calm, warm water, zero crowds, and wildlife everywhere. Exceeded every expectation."
"Our kids were wide-eyed the entire time. Xarou made it feel safe and magical."
A living aquarium at every turn
Yalku's exceptional biodiversity will stop you mid-stroke. Glide over parrotfish, angelfish, groupers, rays, and in season, sea turtles drifting in from the open Caribbean. Visibility here is extraordinary — far clearer than open-water snorkeling — so every colour, every scale, every detail jumps out at you in sharp relief.
🌿 Yalku is a protected ecological reserve. Only biodegradable sunscreen is permitted in the water.
Pack these essentials
⚠️ All sunscreen is strictly prohibited in Akumal Bay — including biodegradable. You may only apply it on the beach, before entering the water.
