Itinerary and highlights

Get ready for a fun 2-hour adventure in Cancun where you get to drive your own two-person speedboat. The tour starts with a quick but important safety briefing at the marina. Once you’re set, you’ll follow your guide through the beautiful mangrove canals of Nichupté Lagoon.

After cruising through the lagoon, you’ll head out to the Caribbean Sea and arrive at the stunning Ángel Reef, part of the world’s second-largest coral reef system. There, you’ll stop for around 40 minutes to snorkel in crystal-clear water full of colorful fish, corals, and maybe even rays or turtles if you’re lucky.

When snorkeling’s done, you’ll hop back on your boat and cruise back through the lagoon, soaking in the views and sea breeze.
