    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'.

    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

    Nachdem wir nur eine Skulptur des Unterwassermuseums gesehen hatten und darauf aufmerksam machten, erklärte uns der Guide, dass in unserer Gruppe keine guten Schwimmer waren und er deshalb eine Abkürzung in der Nähe des Bootes machten und wir gerne im Anschluss nochmals raus schwimmen und so war es dann auch. Wir sahen mehr Skulpturen und einen Rochen sowie eine Schildkröte und waren in der Summe 1.5 Stunden unterwegs. Sehr gelungen und toll! Außerdem ist das Trinken inklusive und man hat direkt eine Bootstour von ca. 20 Minuten Hin und 20 Minuten zurück. Sehr gelungen. Klare Empfehlung!
