Description

Underwater Adventure Aboard the Sub See Explorer

 Step into the Sub See Explorer and dive into an underwater world—without ever getting wet. This semi-submarine is specially designed with panoramic windows that allow you to see vibrant corals, exotic fish, and marine life all from the comfort of your seat.

Your journey begins with a scenic boat ride to Punta Nizuc, one of the most stunning sections of the Mesoamerican Reef. Once aboard the Sub See Explorer, you’ll glide through turquoise waters as your guide explains the incredible biodiversity that thrives just beneath the surface.


Discover the Beauty of Punta Nizuc Reef

 After the semi-submarine experience, you’ll have the chance to jump in and explore the reef from a different perspective. Snorkel among colorful fish, brain coral formations, and even sunken sculptures that make this reef unlike any other.

The guided snorkeling session offers an unforgettable opportunity to swim alongside the very marine life you observed from the Sub See. Whether you're a first-time snorkeler or an ocean enthusiast, the calm waters and expert guidance make this an ideal aquatic adventure.


Underwater Adventure: An Experience for All Ages

 This tour is designed for everyone—from families with young kids to travelers who want to admire the reef without diving. The Sub See Explorer is perfect for non-swimmers, while the snorkeling portion adds a fun and interactive layer to your experience.

Punta Nizuc’s reef is part of the second-largest reef system in the world, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Cancun. Whether you’re viewing the coral gardens through glass or floating above them, the experience is nothing short of magical.
