What to expect

Snorkel at Punta Nizuc, one of the best-known reefs in Cancun, in shallow, sheltered water where beginners can learn at their own pace.

A boat takes you from Aquaworld to a floating platform next to the reef. From there you get in and out of the water easily, and there is shade, beer and soft drinks to rest between swims. If you want to stay longer, you can snorkel again and return on the next boat.

The area also has 16 sculptures from the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA), including The Garden of Hope, Time Bomb and The Last Supper; seeing them depends on the weather.

Departs from Aquaworld in the Hotel Zone; transportation is not included. For ages 5 to 65 who know how to swim. The reef preservation fee is paid separately at check-in.

“Excellent Taxi service at Punta Cana Airport! The driver, Juan, was a true professional, met us and helped us with our bags. The ride was comfortable and safe, and Juan even shared great ideas about visiting local attractions. Very nice. I highly recommend him.”
