To make the experience even more memorable, check out the sculptures of the world-famous Underwater Museum, scattered across the sea bottom. Back on the platform, relax under the sun before hopping in for some more snorkeling on your own.

Cancun snorkeling - The length of time permitted to snorkel is great. We were able to snorkel for 90-120 minutes. You are only able to snorkel in a small area of the reef so it isn’t as exciting as other snorkel areas I’ve been to. The boats to return people to the Aquaworld do not come very often so plan on being out on the raft/reef for 3 hours Time in the boat from base out to the reef platform is about 30minutes.
