About this experience
Take the wheel of your own 13-foot speedboat and navigate the mangrove channels of Nichupté Lagoon. Each boat accommodates its own guests, giving you a more private experience on the water as you follow your guide through the lagoon.
No previous boating experience is required, and the boats are designed to be easy to handle, allowing first-time drivers to enjoy the experience from behind the wheel. At Punta Nizuc, leave the boat behind and explore the shallow coral reef while snorkeling among tropical fish and other marine life.
The contrast between driving through the mangroves and snorkeling over a Caribbean coral reef gives you two very different ways to experience Cancun’s waterways.
