Cancun: Paradise Snorkel at Reef and Underwater Museum

1. Cancun: Paradise Snorkel at Reef and Underwater Museum

Board a motorboat and enjoy a ride out to Punta Nizuc reef where a floating platform is waiting for you. From here, plunge into the crystal-clear waters and discover a reef full of corals to admire the stunning underwater world. The shallow waters provide a calm sheltered snorkel site so beginners can learn the basics of snorkeling. Enjoy hopping in and out of the water at your own pace. The platform makes it easy for kids and adults to access the water. Refresh yourself with a cold drink or beer available on the platform before diving back in to explore the MUSA, Cancun Underwater Art Museum. If the weather allows it, you can see 16 statues under the water including the ‘The Garden of Hope’, ‘Timebomb’, and ‘The Last Supper'.

When in Cancún, Mexico, discover Cancun Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA). This site has both a collection of art and an artificial reef created to help natural reefs recover.

First, head to Manchones Reef on a boat, where you will see an impressive gallery with hundreds of coral-covered statues standing 30 feet under the sea. Marvel at the over 470 life-sized sculptures on hand. On your second dive, witness the breathtaking colors of a natural coral reef which is also home to turtles and lots of colorful fish, before concluding your exploration of this unique Cancún setting combining art and marine life.

What people are saying about Hotel Zone

After we had only seen one sculpture of the underwater museum and pointed it out, the guide explained to us that there weren’t any good swimmers in our group and that’s why he made a shortcut near the boat and we were happy to swim out again afterwards and that’s how it was then too. We saw more sculptures and a ray and a turtle and were on the road for a total of 1.5 hours. Very successful and great! In addition, drinking is included and you have a boat tour of about 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. Very nicely done. Clear recommendation!

So much fun! I was SO glad that we didn’t do the submarine because it opened up a lot of time to go with Mateo to see the museum. When the submarine people joined, it held up the movement because some couldn’t swim well. But it was so great!! So friendly and perfect activity’s

We enjoyed the snorkeling trip very much. It short but plenty of time to see the underwater museum and lots of fish. Very efficient and the crew were very nice. It included water, soda, beer and tequila. I would highly recommend the tour.

It was a great experience with the kids. The staffs were very friendly. They helped us to explore the main things then we swim ourselves for 2 hours and cathed the boat accordingly. Overall very good experience and kids enjoyed a lot.

We had a wonderful guide and the overall experience was amazing!
