Get ready for one of the most exciting and unique experiences in Cancun!
Your adventure begins at our Marina Jungle Tour, conveniently located in the heart of Cancun’s Hotel Zone. Upon arrival, our professional and friendly guides will greet you and give you a brief but thorough safety orientation. They’ll also teach you everything you need to know to navigate your own two-passenger speedboat — no previous experience is necessary!
Once you're comfortable, you’ll hop into your speedboat and start your journey. You’ll ride in a convoy of up to 10 boats, following our experienced guide through the spectacular mangrove canals of the Nichupté Lagoon. This part of the tour lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the thrill of driving your own boat and soaking in the stunning scenery of Cancun's natural paradise.

After the thrill of navigating through the mangroves, your adventure continues with an unforgettable snorkeling experience at the Punta Nizuc Coral Reef, one of Cancun’s most treasured natural wonders.
We’ll arrive at this breathtaking spot by speedboat, where the crystal-clear turquoise waters will immediately take your breath away. Before diving in, our expert guide will provide you with all the necessary instructions and safety tips.
You’ll have 40 to 50 minutes to snorkel and explore this vibrant underwater ecosystem teeming with life. Swim alongside colorful tropical fish, and admire stunning coral formations
But that’s not all — this reef is also home to some of the first underwater statues of the famous MUSA (Underwater Museum of Art). These incredible sculptures create an otherworldly and peaceful atmosphere beneath the waves, making this snorkeling spot truly one-of-a-kind.
After this, we’ll return to our speedboats and cruise back to the marina.
