MUSA Cancún Underwater Art Museum: Snorkel & Glass-Bottomed Boat Tour with Drink

About this experience

MUSA Cancún Underwater Art Museum is a museum located beneath the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Cancún, housing a permanent collection of large-scale sculptures submerged up to four metres below the surface. This snorkel and glass-bottomed boat tour runs for three hours and covers the Punta Nizuc section of the collection, where around 30 works sit on the seabed in clear, shallow water. The sculptures were created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor and are designed to encourage coral growth, making the collection as much a reef restoration project as an art installation. The tour begins with a ride in a glass-bottomed boat, giving a view of the sculptures from above before guests enter the water with snorkelling equipment. Fins, masks, and life vests are all provided, along with use of lockers and showers at the site. Water, soft drinks, and beer are served on the boat. The starting point is Blvd. Kukulcan Km 15.3 in the Zona Hotelera, well placed for visitors exploring things to do in Akumal and the wider Riviera Maya. Note that a docking fee of $20 per person is payable at the national park entrance and is not covered by the ticket. Booking is non-refundable, and the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
