Overview of the Cancun Speedboat and Snorkel Tour

Zoom through mangrove canals as you drive a **2-person speed boat** to reach a beautiful snorkeling spot at **Punta Nizuc National Park Reef** on this thrilling jungle tour adventure from Cancun.

After your speedboat ride, snorkel around one of the two largest coral reefs in the world. After your guide provides instructions on how to navigate your speedboat, hop into the driver’s seat and start up the motor for adventure. The 13-foot (4 m) speed boats are easy to drive, safe, stable, and completely suitable for first-time boaters. When you arrive at the reef, park your boat, put on your mask, and splash into the crystal-clear waters to snorkel with your guide. Look for colorful tropical fish swimming around coral reef formations. More experienced swimmers can visit the **MUSA underwater museum**, which features sunken sculptures that create a habitat for sea creatures. After snorkeling, re-board your speedboat for a swift ride back to Cancun.
