One of my favorite water sports is snorkeling. I have been fortunate to snorkel in Mexico, Bora Bora, and Hawaii. So far, I haven’t taken the steps to become a SCUBA diver, but there is still time! The beauty that lies beneath the ocean’s surface is exquisite.
This week we snorkeled Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. This contains the oldest living reef in North America and is also home to sea turtles, whale sharks, dolphins, and manta rays. We were blessed to experience the beauty of the coral, in addition to sea turtles, sea lions, and varieties of fish. We watched a school of silver fish spiral in a tornado-like manner, reminiscent of a synchronized swimming show.
Cabo Pulmo is a small village and there are several choices of water sports vendors. I personally recommend Cabo Pulmo Eco Adventures. We have gone out with them twice now, and both times had an amazing snorkeling experience. Caesar was our guide for both trips, and he is professional, personable, and was willing to tailor the trip to our wishes.
Even though Caesar and his team provide you with snacks, you will likely want to check out the restaurant Tacos and Beer across from Eco Adventures after your snorkeling adventure. They serve, well, tacos and beer, but also other menu items.
This has been one of our favorite day trips for two years running. Can’t wait to make it three!
