Snorkel with Turtles at the Underwater Museum

What you'll do:

On this exciting 2-hour snorkel tour in Cancun, you’ll explore a vibrant underwater world filled with colorful fish, live coral reefs, sea turtles in their natural habitat, and even an impressive shipwreck—all in calm, shallow waters no deeper than 5 meters, making the experience both safe and fun.

The reef is just a 5-minute boat ride from the departure point, so you won’t have to worry about long boat rides or getting seasick—you’ll be snorkeling in no time!

This great adventure is divided into 4 areas:

• Here you will admire the coral reef EL MECO, where you can see an infinity of fish and marine life in depths of 2.5 meters to 4.5 meters in warm water with little or no current.

• This is our meeting point with turtles, with a 96 to 98% chance of seeing 1 to 5 turtles and running with the luck of swimming with stingrays.

• At this point, we will look at 2 underwater art galleries where there will be a coexistence of art with the medium, the marine life of the Caribbean sea, admiring beautiful works of art, and the wonderful turquoise sea floor.

• We will visit an impressive sunken ship where we will find fish banks. Multicolored corals and different species are posing on a sandy beach that surrounds an impressive natural pool.

Small groups of up to 12 people to give a better service and provide greater security.

Why we love it for your party:
