What people are saying about Cancún Underwater Museum

A great day out! We initially just booked the catamaran & dolphin experience but glad we changed to this one! The catamaran is big & you can sit in the sun whilst on it. Snorkelling equipment is included in the price (only a short swim in the ocean, not a huge amount to see but still an experience). Drinks were also included on the boat - Both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. We then went to Isla Mujeres where you get 2 hours to explore. You can rent a buggy or get a taxi tour to drive round the island & take photos at tourist spots (both options are around $50) we jumped in with another couple so it only cost us $25 to do. They then take you straight to Dolphin Discovery … such an AMAZING experience!! The buffet food here was delicious, couldn’t fault it. Having done the Royal Swim and Swim Adventure in the past, I’d happily recommend the middle package (Adventure) over the Royal Swim, but definitely pay for the photos! We finally headed back to Cancun whilst watching the sunset.

Our experience was awesome! We were beginners, never done this before, but Gaby was very patient and explained everything about the diving. Now we feel like the experience divers and would do it again and again. Recommend this tour for everyone, beginner or not! The underwater museum situated between Cancun and Isla Mujeres and the place close to Isla Mujeres Island (where the divings are organized) are places to be seen! PS: If you’re more than 45 years old, you need a medical check.

Highly recommended for a family activity. Very professional guides. The boat ride is just amazing especially as it goes into the narrow water path. The snorkeling part was good but I had higher expectations as to the different types of fishes.

Such a fun excursion..the boats are pretty fast and easy to drive. The guide was fun and the snorkling was cool as well. We even came across a stingray.. You will definitely enjoy yourself. Jimmy was our guide and he was great

We had a great time on this excursion! The staff was very good with instructions and also a lot of fun! Snorkeling was amazing and it was the perfect amount of time! Would definitely recommend.
