Take the wheel of a speedboat in Cancun’s lagoon, then stop at a local reef for a guided snorkel. Your guide covers boat handling, supplies equipment, and may use fish food to bring small colorful fish close. The two-hour outing begins and ends at Marina Chac Chik.

“What a great excursion! It was fun to drive the speedboat and the snorkeling was the best we had ever seen! They bring fish food and throw it in the water which makes the fish swarm around you…it was really cool. We also saw a sea turtle, a sea cucumber, and a puffer fish in addition to the other small colorful fish. Our guide was very nice and explained how to drive the boats thoroughly. Would definitely do again.”
