Cancún Underwater Art Museum and Manchones Coral Reef: Snorkeling Tour
About this experience
Explore the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) in Cancún and discover its fascinating sculptures. Located in three galleries, i.e. Punta Nizuc, Punta Sam, and Manchones, this marine wonderland features 500 life-sized statues.
During this 5-hour adventure, snorkel through MUSA and the vibrant Manchones Reef, encountering a variety of marine life including fish, turtles, and rays.
Highlights of the underwater tableau include the Cross of the Bay, the Man on Fire, the Dream Collector, Bacab, Anthropocene, the Silent Evolution (a colony of 450 sculptures), a VW Beetle, and The Promise. The tour aims to showcase as many of these sculptures as possible for a complete experience.
Once mysterious, these statues are now covered in algae and coral polyps, transforming Cancún into the home of the world's largest artificial reef. Your trip begins with a warm welcome aboard the boat, where the crew will provide snorkeling gear and instructions.
