Snorkeling Experience in Isla Mujeres: Two Coral Reefs + Underwater Museum

What you'll do:

Isla Mujeres is very well known for its beautiful beaches, lovely sunsets, culture, and warm people, but if you are looking for some excitement, some healthy physical activity, and an unforgettable experience, then snorkeling is for you.

There are three main spots for the Marine National Park in Isla:

• El Farito: Great for beginners as is only 1 to 6 feet deep, just floating your way along the reef full of colorful tropical fish and amazing coral reefs.

• Manchones Reef: One of the most incredible and living reefs, is full of colorful fish and crystal-clear warm waters 12 to 30 feet deep.

• MUSA Underwater Museum: In 2009 a monumental underwater contemporary museum of art called MUSA (Museo Sub acuático de Arte) was formed in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres, The Museum aims to demonstrate the interaction between art and environmental science and form part of a complex reef structure for marine life to colonize and inhabit whilst increasing biomass on a grand scale. All of the sculptures are fixed to the seabed and made from specialized materials used to promote coral life.

We may (depending on the weather) visit the three spots while riding along the island shore for sightseeing and photos. Afterward, if you choose the option with lunch (at extra cost), we get off the boat in Isla Mujeres' famous beach, Playa Tiburon, where you can go for a walk along the miles of “snow” white sand beach or work on your suntan while we cook a Tikin-Xic style fresh fish.

Why we love it for your party:

• Visit the three main snorkel spots

• See lots of colorful fish and live coral reefs

• Enjoy the turquoise water of Isla Mujeres
