Snorkeling in Cancun - 2 in 1 Snorkel in MUSA & Reef Tour
Snorkeling in Cancun Underwater Museum Tour
If you're looking for an unforgettable activity in Cancun, snorkeling at the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) is a must-do. This underwater museum, one of the largest in the world, combines art and marine conservation in a stunning setting.
What is MUSA?
Opened in 2009, the Museo Subacuático de Arte was created to promote reef conservation and offers a unique experience for visitors. With over 500 submerged sculptures between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, MUSA is not only a monumental work of art but also a habitat for marine life.
Where is the best snorkeling in Cancun?
Definitely the Cancun Underwater Museum, with just 30 Ft deep (10 meters) is a perfect spot to have the best snorkel experience in Cancun, the MUSA has more than 450 life-sized underwater sculptures that you will be able to see face to face on your Cancun snorkeling tour.
Snorkeling MUSA will make your Cancun vacation one of a kind. You can see the positive effects of this multilateral effort since some of the first parts of the Museum have already been overrun by reef formations and distorting some of the original pieces.
