Snorkeling Experience in Cancun - Hands Underwater Museum

Posted By : 818maitat
Snorkeling was awesome! Our captain, Juan, and guide, Billy were amazing. We got to see sea turtles, so many different fish and a ship wreck. Their safety precautions are excellent you take a test swim with the gear to make sure you are swim safe and gear is working.

We had a great snorkeling experience! Exclusive Agency Tours knew we’d be getting in on a flight to Cancun on the day of our tour, so they made sure to put us on a later snorkeling trip so that we’d definitely make it on time, and stayed in constant contact to make sure that we were on time as scheduled. The driver picked us up from a point near our hotel, and took us to the Marina Punta Norte for our excursion. The marina is a nice, secure facility with lockers (I think there was a $5 deposit, so bring some cash), a little shop, bathrooms, and showers, although the women’s bathroom only had one working shower. We were provided with fins, mask, and a snorkel, but be sure to bring your own towel. The snorkeling trip itself was great, it was a smaller boat, which was nice for a small group. We didn’t go very far before making our first stop to see some underwater sinkholes, with a sea star and lots of colorful fish swimming around them. All of the rest of the stops were very close to each other- we stopped next at an area where we saw some large sea turtles and we could get pretty close to them and swim with them (but no touching!). Then we continued on to a reef area with more colorful fish and some underwater statues. Our last stop was a very interesting shipwreck. All of the snorkeling stops were in pretty shallow water - not shallow enough to stand, but if you are a good swimmer you could probably dive to the bottom easily enough. The guide, Moses, stayed with us in the water for the duration of each snorkeling stop and pointed out interesting things to see, and he had a lifebuoy for us to hold onto in the water. There was also a photographer with us, Eddie, who took pictures of us along the way which you could purchase at the end of the trip if you wanted. The boat was easy to jump out of to get into the water, and there was also a ladder to easily climb back into the boat. All in all it was an awesome trip!

Robert, our guide, was very dedicated to finding the most sea life possible to make our experience memorable. We saw two turtles, multiple sea stars, and a lot of beautiful fish. We saw two of the underwater statues as well as a shipwreck. There was not as much of the underwater museum seen as I expected from the name of the tour; however, it was still amazing.
I will say it was physically intense. A lot of jumping off the side of the boat quickly and up to a half hour at a time of swimming. Climbing back on the boat required some dexterity as well. Robert did a great job of helping those having difficulty.

Great snorkeling. They take you out on a boat, we went to 3 sites, reef where we saw thousands of fish, a site with giant tortoises, and a ship wreck. Very cool. Water provided

Downsides: Towels NOT provided which is says on the listing. Also it offers hotel pickup, which is nice, but the driver isn’t allowed in the lobby for most places - I would recommend them having a dry erase board so they can write your name on it. I kept waiting for someone to come in the lobby and say my name as this it what I was instructed. It’s okay tho, overall a great value for the money, and I would still recommend! Good photo package as well
