About this experience
Start your day with a hotel pickup or directly at the marina, then head out to open sea through the spectacular mangrove channels. The bar opens soon after departure.
Snorkel at open sea for 30-45 minutes. In addition to the colorful fish and corals, you can also admire some of the artifacts belonging to the MUSA Underwater Museum.
Once you arrive at the beach club on the island, you will get free time to relax, swim, and enjoy an ice-cold drink and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch.
You will have about an hour of free time to stroll down the alleys, explore the small shops, or even visit the famous Playa Norte beach before returning to Cancun while gazing at the dazzling sunset.
