Da sapere su questa attività

Il tour di snorkeling inizia con una gita in barca fino al sito "Silent Evolution" al largo di Isla Mujeres. Avrai quindi 40 minuti di tempo per fare snorkeling per ammirare le sculture del museo e la vita marina che nuoterà lungo il tuo cammino. Poi, un altro giro in barca ti riporterà al porticciolo a Cancun Un modo perfetto per iniziare la giornata!
L'ultima e più spettacolare aggiunta a Cancun, il museo sottomarino della scultura è una galleria di sculture sotto il mare di oltre 500 personaggi. Il monumentale museo scultoreo sottomarino è stato fondato nelle acque circostanti di Cancun, Isla Mujeres e Punta Nizuc nel 2009 dall'artista britannico Jason DeCaires Taylor. Il progetto ha suscitato grande interesse in tutto il mondo e sarà un progetto in corso per gli anni a venire.
Il corpo principale del museo si chiama "The Silent Evolution" ed è composto da 500 figure a grandezza naturale, stampate in argilla a pH neutro. L'obiettivo principale del museo è la conservazione, così l'argilla promuove la crescita marina per formare una struttura complessa abitata e colonizzata da varie forme di vita marina. Alla fine si formerà una barriera corallina su ciascuna scultura, facendole cambiare aspetto nel tempo.
L'installazione del museo totale occupa oltre 150 km² e pesa oltre 120 tonnellate, e un giorno formerà un ecosistema artificiale, dove vari tipi di pesci e mammiferi marini prospereranno.

It was a decent experience, great crew and captain. I was under impression that we could get closer to statues but we had vests on which is understandable. Pretty exhausting experience, unable to get any pictures, I was under the impression they would have underwater cameras to take pictures for us that we could pay for, that wasn't the case. Decent experience.

The guides were very hospitable and obviously experienced with leading visitors out to the waters. I wish we could have seen more of the underwater museum, even though we spent an hour or more in different parts of it. It's a lot bigger than what we touched, and needs more time. My favourite part was when we went to the shallow water with different corals, and all these colour fish were there. The fish followed us: schools of beautiful yellow, blue ones, and I saw a lot of other rainbow fish and small guys in the corals. I thought the fish were very friendly and then i saw on Youtube they've been trained by tour groups to accept handouts so they think tourists are gonna feed them. It's not a very environmentally friendly practice, BUT, I enjoyed that they came to follow us. It was a Disney moment. Earlier I had been on a snorkel tour of the Belize reef from Caye Caulker and saw more fish here close up than on the larger reef.

This was a really excellent tour. Our tour guide, driver, and assistant were very friendly and helpful. The guide got in the water with us and showed us where to find the statues. She also would take your camera and swim closer to the statues and take pictures for you if you couldn't. When about half the boat was feeling very seasick, she and the driver altered the tour and took us to a really beautiful beach with tide pools. This was such a great decision! We were able to continue exploring around and even snorkel a little in very shallow water without continuing to feel sick. I even saw an octopus! This did not feel like a sub-par backup. It was a really excellent choice for those who were sick. I really thank the guide and driver for this decision, and I didn't have to sit out half the activities for not feeling well. 100% would recommend this tour and Aquaworld to others traveling in Cancun.

Wow! It was a fabulous snorkeling adventure and I will cherish the memories forever of our experience exploring and seeing the beautiful colorful tropical fish of all sizes and the underwater museum was amazing and could not believe my eyes at how incredible it looked. I loved the little house and the beetle bug and the many other pieces of art. Our guide was sweet and very attentive to our needs when called upon. The three member Aqua world crew was professional and great fun to be with on our journey to the Underwater Museum. What a fantastic time my family and I had enjoying that day of snorkeling and the speed boat was fun too! Thank you all for giving me and my family a safe and wonderful experience in Cancun, Mexico 2017.
