10. Cancun: Jungle Adventure with Reef Snorkeling
Your 2-hour adventure begins with a brief safety briefing, in which your bilingual Spanish- and English-speaking guides will teach you the ins and outs of piloting a speedboat, which requires no prior experience. Afterwards, you’ll be off and sailing away through the stunning mangrove channels of the Nichupté Lagoon, observing the vibrant biodiversity that surrounds you.
After your thrilling sail, you’ll arrive at another dock to board a boat bound for the Great Mayan Reef, where you’ll receive all the necessary equipment to snorkel one of the largest barrier reefs on the planet. Located within the Punta Nizuc National Park, keep your eyes peeled for over 500 species of marine life, including sea turtles, a plethora of tropical fish, and the West Indian manatee. Throughout the reef, submerged sculptures add an artistic touch unique to the area.
After marveling at one of the world’s foremost natural treasures, you’ll head back to Cancun, thrilled by the adventure you have just taken part in.
