Full description
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'.

Very nice activity, good value for money, friendly staff. We rushed at the beginning to snorkel as soon as we arrived on the platform and the experience wasn’t that fun because it was crowded and the guide put pressure on us to hurry while we were with kids and older people who couldn’t follow. But then, back on the platform, the kids enjoyed swimming around while we could join a different group to enjoy snorkeling and the sculptures with Fredy. We could stay as long as we wish with very few people and free flow drinks. We all had a lovely day!

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
