Speedboat across the Mangroves & Snorkel with Jet Ski Rental
Description
This adventure combo includes three of the best water activities in Cancun—speedboating, snorkeling and jet skiing. Start with an action-packed ride through the mangrove jungle and out to open sea and the picturesque Nizuc coral reef. Take full control of your 2-seater speedboat as you accelerate through the scenic Nichupte Lagoon. Just off the southern coast of the hotel island, stop your vessel and plunge into the clear waters of the Caribbean. Using a snorkel, a mask and a pair of fins, explore the seascapes of the second largest coral formation in the world, the Great Mayan Reef. A great additional bonus is the MUSA Underwater Museum, some of whose artifacts are located in the Nizuc area. Venture to the locations following you guide's instruction to catch a glimpse of one of the most unique art exhibitions. It doesn't end there! Back on the pier, continue the water fun on a state-of-the-art Sea-Doo jet ski, cruising through the Nichupte lagoon at your own pace.

From the briefing to the Mayan snack at the end of the trip, this was an amazing experience. Romel was our guide and he was fantastic. Besides giving great directions and giving us enough freedom to have a custom experience, he even found a lobster for us to observe during the snorkeling session. The Mayan tribute and show at the beginning made the entire experience and was a wonderful surprise to start the adventure. I only have 3 opportunities for improvement to share - 1. The show should have been much longer. It was probably about 15 minutes. I could have easily enjoyed that for another 2 hours at least. 2. The skeleton character, Jesus, should have had a more prolific role in the show. Beyond crushing the bongo like a champ, I’d really have liked to see how high he could have gotten his roundhouse kicks during the dance. He surely would have kicked higher than Tiger or Hawk man. 3. Not the fault to the ‘talent’ but we got stuck behind some visitors that were not willing to run after the Mayans at the end of the show. We were so excited to do this and I could even hear the Tiger character’s disappointment in the lack of participation. I felt like my stretching was all for nothing. Overall, this was one of the best excursion experiences I had when in Mexico and would highly recommend.
What an exhilarating adventure! We started with learning about Mayan culture with a show, then raced through the mangroves in our own speedboat. The snorkeling was phenomenal and our guide, Rommel, was fantastic! We added on the jet skis as well, and that was a BLAST!! Highly recommend!!!
Romel was great on the speed boat ! He did great with giving us instructions and even when we said we didn’t want to snorkel because I’m not a good swimmer he said come with me I got you and that he did ! I enjoyed myself this is a must do
Nice trip, where you can have fun, enjoy half an hour of jet ski (15 minutes per person), than have a short break with a mayan ritual (wasn’t originally written in the description, we joined another group for that), than carry on with a speedboat. That part was superfun- speedboat was easy, snorkelling near the coral reef and underwater figures was amazing. Guides did their job well. The only irritating things were: asking for tip on every step, I felt like I couldn’t turn around without being asked to give them money. The second one - tacos for lunch. The first time in Mexico I didn’t like the food. Cold, fried and dry tacos weren’t on my list of things to try. Third- bear in mind that the photos they take are super pricey- they want 59 USD for them.
Fun time but if traveling with big groups always expect delays and subject to separation. We had a good time
Great time on speedboat and snorkeling. Jimmy was detailed and made the trip very fun. The reef was beautiful.
The jet ski area is small, it would be more fun to have more space to play in. The speed boat was our favorite activity, only downside was other people in our tour group (not with us) driving their boat extremely slow. I was getting upset on the way to snorkel and heading back because other travelers were afraid to speed in a speed boat which is crazy! Maybe have 2 tour guides, 1 to pull out the slow pokes and 1 for the thrill seekers. Snorkeling was amazing!
