Cancún Trip Overview
Discover the fascinating underwater seascapes of the Nizuc Reef just off the Cancun coast. Complete the experience by getting a glimpse of the modern art creations belonging the MUSA Underwater Museum, a unique exhibition on the sea bottom.
The journey starts with a relaxing ride through the Nichupte Lagoon and its scenic mangrove forest channels. Once you reach the snorkeling platform, you are just a few fin slaps away from the magical world of tropical corals and colorful fish. Your snorkel tube is brand new and you get to keep it after the adventure.
