About this experience
Get a full dose of Cancun’s magic in just half a day! Your adventure begins with a smooth boat ride to four hand-picked snorkeling hotspots—vibrant coral gardens, the famous MUSA underwater sculpture park, a calm turtle sanctuary, a colorful shipwreck, and a crystal-clear sand-bar teeming with tropical fish. Our pro guides handle the details and gear so you can simply slip into the warm Caribbean and explore.
Back on deck, trade your fins for wings: a 260-foot parasail flight lifts you high above the turquoise coastline for postcard-worthy views of the Hotel Zone and Nichupté Lagoon. It’s the perfect blend of underwater wonder and sky-high thrills, all wrapped into one easy, hotel-zone departure. If you’re short on time but big on adventure, this is the Cancun experience you don’t want to miss!
