Trips are available to the reefs off Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc in Cancun and El Farito and Manchones Reef in the bay between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. Snorkeling is also a popular activity in El Garrafon Park on the southern tip of Isla Mujeres.<\/p>\n<p>Marine life ranges from elk horn coral reefs and brain coral formations to gardens of sea fans gently waving in the currents. They are a habitat for a variety of fish from sergeant majors, grunts and porkfish to damsel and angelfish, jacks, rays and moray eels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-3067d9742ef4f3496c26fa62e8fb1f71\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-3067d9742ef4f3496c26fa62e8fb1f71 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-3067d9742ef4f3496c26fa62e8fb1f71 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/out-and-about-MUSA.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Cancun Museum of Underwater Art<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Cancun-Isla Mujeres National Marine Park has another attraction to offer snorkelers, the world\u2019s largest underwater museum of art (MUSA), inaugurated in 2009. Around 500 statues by British sculptor Jason deCaires-Taylor and other sculptors have already been submerged in different locations in the Cancun-Isla Mujeres Reef Park, including Punta Nizuc and Manchones Reef and more are planned.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from their artistic appeal, the figures are a habitat for marine life. Corals, sponges and sea fans, small fish and even lobsters are colonizing them. New reef communities are being created and this will give popular coral reefs in the area a chance to recover.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-ee5d49ba1595e57ad80fa3af76d1a2a0\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-ee5d49ba1595e57ad80fa3af76d1a2a0 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-ee5d49ba1595e57ad80fa3af76d1a2a0 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/reef.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Puerto Morelos<\/strong><br \/>\nOur guide to great places for snorkeling in the Riviera Maya starts in Puerto Morelos, 20 minutes to the south of Cancun Airport. Protected by a national marine park, the reefs are home to species such as angelfish, trunkfish, snappers and octopus and are some of the most beautiful and pristine along the Mesoamerican Reef.<\/p>\n<p>The biodiversity of reefs in the Puerto Morelos area has attracted marine biologists for many years and the fishing village is the site of two marine research centers: the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) field station and a Mexican Fisheries Institute facility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-84f5c97076079c5b6107dd99cf43a4ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-84f5c97076079c5b6107dd99cf43a4ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-84f5c97076079c5b6107dd99cf43a4ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/out-and-about-xel-ha.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Xel-Ha Park<\/strong><br \/>\nAlways a good place for a family outing, Xel-Ha is hailed by locals as the world\u2019s largest natural aquarium. It is an enormous caleta or inlet of crystalline waters fed by cenotes in the surrounding mangroves and jungle.<\/p>\n<p>Rainbow-colored fish from nearby reefs feed and breed in the inlet and swimmers will see shoals of sergeant majors, blue chromis and one of the park\u2019s emblems, the parrotfish, as soon as they venture into the water. Snorkel over to the rocks where fish shelter and further into the lagoons and you\u2019ll see even more marine life. There is a floating bridge over the mouth of the lagoon and it is here that larger fish such as snappers and jacks congregate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-5722b2b95039567316d77e0a9941b0c9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-5722b2b95039567316d77e0a9941b0c9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-5722b2b95039567316d77e0a9941b0c9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/out-and-about-yalku.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Yalku<\/strong><br \/>\nLocated just to the north of Akumal Bay, Yalku is a smaller caleta than Xel-Ha and is also a great snorkeling spot.

You can also walk or drive north along the coast road to Half Moon Bay or Bahia de la Media Luna where the corals are much closer to the shore. You\u2019ll need reef shoes here because the seabed is rocky.<\/p>\n<p>Marine life is varied and abundant in Akumal, even in the shallows. Royal grammas, spotted drums and damselfish dart through the corals and parrotfish and eagle rays are often sighted. The greatest thrill of all, however, is to spot a green or loggerhead turtle grazing on the sea grass. Watch from a distance, do not approach her or make a noise and she may swim past you, giving you the chance to see her beautiful markings. A vacation memory to treasure, no wonder Akumal means \u201cplace of the turtles\u201d in Maya.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-4946f272700f2f9f2520149750c1a10e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-4946f272700f2f9f2520149750c1a10e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-4946f272700f2f9f2520149750c1a10e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_button  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/out-and-about-cozumel.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Cozumel<\/strong><br \/>\nThe reefs girdling Cozumel\u2019s west coast and southern tip are world-famous in scuba circles but the island offers plenty of spectacular snorkeling spots too and is just a short boat ride from the Riviera Maya. Start with snorkeling in Chankanaab Park and book trips to other shallow water reefs. Another attraction is El Cielo, a stretch of seabed off the north coast of the island that is inhabited by thousands of starfish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reef Tips<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you decide to go snorkeling in the Riviera Maya, please follow these guidelines and help preserve the reefs for future generations.<br \/>\n* Do not apply sun lotion or any kind of lotion or perfume if you are going snorkeling, wear a t-shirt to protect your skin instead. Sun products and the oils and chemicals in creams and cosmetics damage the coral and pollute the water.<br \/>\n* Do not touch the coral or stir the sand up in the vicinity of the reef. The slightest touch can cause damage that will take the coral centuries to recover from.<br \/>\n* Do not remove shells or other marine creatures from the reef.<br \/>\n* Watch your step; spiny sea urchins can cause nasty wounds.<br \/>\n* Don\u2019t forget your underwater camera!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Booking your Riviera Maya snorkeling trip<\/strong><br \/>\nWant to go snorkeling in the Riviera Maya or the Cancun-Isla Mujeres area this summer? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasmoretravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas More Travel<\/a> offers a variety of trips to great snorkeling spots.
