About

Whether you are staying in Isla Mujeres or want to visit for the day, the must-do thing to do is snorkel in Isla Mujeres among thousands of colorful fish and the amazing coral reefs that surround the island with its ## three main spots to snorkel.

1. El Farito:

Great for beginners as is only 1 to 6 feet deep, just floating your way along the reef full of colorful tropical fishes and amazing coral reefs

2. Manchones reef:

One of the most incredible and living reefs, is full of colorful fishes and crystal-clear warm waters 12 to 30 feet deep

3. Musa:

In 2009 a monumental underwater contemporary museum of art called MUSA (Museo Sub acuático de Arte) was formed in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres, The Museum aims to demonstrate the interaction between art and environmental science and form part of a complex reef structure for marine life to colonize and inhabit whilst increasing biomass on a grand scale. All of the sculptures are fixed to the seabed and made from specialized materials used to promote coral life. The total installations occupy an area of over 420sq meters of barren substrate and weighing in at over 200 tons

we may (depending on weather) visit the three spots while riding along the island shore for sightseeing and photos,

Afterward,

  • If you choose without lunch we head back to meeting and boarding dock.
  • If you choose with lunch (at extra cost), we get off the boat in Isla Mujeres Famous beach Playa Tiburon where you can go for a walk along the miles of “snow” white sand beach or work on your suntan while we cook a Tikin-Xic style fresh fish.
