What travelers are saying
"Chankanaab is perfect for a family snorkel day. Calm shallow water, underwater statues and tons of fish a few meters from the beach. Loungers, lockers and a freshwater rinse at the exit made it easy with kids."
"Sea Trek was the highlight of our cruise day. Walking on the bottom of the bay with a helmet on, totally dry hair, fish swimming around our feet. Our 9 year old loved it. Great instructor."
"All-inclusive day pass at Chankanaab was great value. Tacos, drinks, snorkel gear and a good lounger by the beach. The dolphin show in the afternoon was a fun bonus. Would book again."
