Tours typically cancel for heavy rain, strong winds or hazardous sea conditions and offer full refunds if cancelled at least 24 hours ahead per operator policy.
Guides provide lifejackets and snorkel equipment, though many travelers bring their own mask for comfort.
The Nichupté lagoon system sits along a coastline used by Maya coastal communities for fishing and salt; modern development has layered marinas and hotel infrastructure over older fishing coves.
