Cancún
Destination & Adventures
Experience The Undersea World
Cancun has some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean. Here you can enjoy some incredible experiences, and an abundance of sealife – eels, groupers, snappers, turtles, parrotfish and numerous corals. Snorkeling is a must-do for anyone vacationing in the Caribbean, so here are the top places to snorkel in Cancun, Mexico. Apart from crystal clear waters, there’s a great selection of marine life to view with your snorkel mask, most notably, the whale sharks.

Punta Nizuc
The Cancun snorkel area called Punta Nizuc is located at the southern tip of the island and is the closest offshore reef from the Cancun Hotel Zone. This reef area is home to turtles, starfish, lobsters and many other critters that live among the coral and algae.
Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres is still a fishing island that receives flocks of tourists daily. The island village is only 5 miles long and half a mile wide, so you can explore it in a day. The reef named Manchones lies just off the coast, as do other impressive sites where you can snorkel in Isla Mujeres’ peaceful waters.
It’s very common to observe sea turtles when snorkeling in Isla Mujeres, so it’s a good idea to bring an underwater camera. Day trips to Isla Mujeres offer a complete tour to the island including snorkeling, lunch, shopping and fun.
MUSA
The Cancun Underwater Museum: MUSAThe Underwater Museum of Cancun is divided into two sections and consists of more than 470 life-sized sculptures. The underwater statues were gradually submerged since 2009 in Manchones Reef which hosts the Silent Evolution statue collection. The Cancun museum is an eco-project designed to give a well-earned break to the natural reef and to provide habitat for fish and other reef creatures.
Whale Shark Snorkel
Every year between June and September, whale sharks migrate into the waters off Isla Mujeres. These giant sea creatures are here to feed on plankton so they are also placid and safe to snorkel with.

The Island of Cozumel
Just a short stop from Cancun, you can enjoy snorkeling in Cozumel. This has been a favorite activity among tourists for years. The coral formations in the shallow waters are diverse and vibrantly colorful. The reefs of Cozumel stretch along the coast of the island, providing a home for brightly colored tropical fish and pristine natural gardens.
Snorkeling in Puerto Morelos
Amazing snorkeling because you’ll see a lot of marine life and lots of colors in the coral reef, all of this because Puerto Morelos has a National Marina Protected Park and fishing and motor sports are not allowed in a large area.
If you are lucky you’ll see some turtles, rays, nurse sharks, which are not dangerous at all, lots of parrot fish and more.
Cenotes Snorkel
The water in Mexico’s cenotes is known for its bewildering clarity and snorkeling in a cenote has always been a privilege accesible to all ages and experience levels.
