Description

Snorkeling in Cancun with turtles, reef, underwater statues, shipwreck and underwater cenote.

5-in-1 Cancun snorkeling tour: Swim with turtles, coral reef, MUSA statues, shipwreck and underwater cenotes.

This is the best Cancun snorkeling tour, friendly with everyone even if you have little or no experience

Our Cancun snorkeling tour is a 3.5 hours excursion including ground transportation and estimated 2 hours in the water, where the whole area has a max depth of 9 feet, with calm waters and non or few currents.

Swim with sea turtles, visit a beautiful coral reef with tons of colorful fish, discover underwater statues, explore an amazing shipwreck and dive into an underwater cenote, all in one single tour!

Our marina is located half a mile away from the reef, we get there in a short 5 minutes boat trip. You'll be snorkeling before you know it!

Cancun reef snorkeling (first area): El Meco coral reef has only 8-12 feet depth, warm water, and few or non-sea currents. With plenty of coral and playful fish schools, this is one of the best spots to enjoy snorkeling in Cancun itself. You may enjoy the first turtle encounter in this area!

Cancun Underwater Museum (second area): You have probably heard about the “Cancun snorkeling statues“. We’ll visit 2 galleries: "The blessings" and "Aquarium Family". The Underwater statues creators used a new technique and material for coral to grow on (made with pH-neutral cement, coral, seaweed, and algae are able to grow). The statues also have holes in them, which allow marine wildlife to colonize and feed off the coral.

Swim with turtles Cancun (third area): Our secret spot to find sea turtles in Cancun! 96-98% of the times we got to see from 1-5 turtles! We might also find rays here. When was the last time you had the chance to swim with marine turtles on their natural habitat?

Cancun Shipwreck snorkeling (4th area): Explore a shipwreck filled with colorful coral, surrounded by countless fish. The shipwreck is posed on thin white sand, you’ll feel like you are swimming in a natural turquoise pool!

Underwater cenote diving (5th area): Discover wonderful cenotes that lay on the sea surface. Dive in these underwater cenotes and admire the fish that have inhabited them. It's one of the best things to do in Cancun.

Our tour is perfect for beginners and is kids friendly, in addition, we offer special extra attention for non-swimmers.

We really enjoy this fantastic trip! Everyone was so nice and patient, and we saw the whale shark! So lovely and beautiful. If we had the chance must come to here again with Gluup! Thank you so much!

It was a magical and unforgettable experience. We saw the majestic whale shark; the guide even held our hands to help us stay calm and led us to where we could see it best! We felt incredibly safe with the captain and the guide, who were always very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to eat and drink. The ceviche and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend taking this tour with this company; you won't regret it!
