?Cancun- Where is the best snorkeling?

Where is the best snorkeling in Cancun- is it through a tour or can we find
it ourselves?

Would there be a place outside of Cancun worth traveling to snorkel there?


Thanks

Do you want to see fish? If not, I would suggest an Olympic sized
pool.

The best places to snorkel in Cancun are Punta Nizuc and Isla Mujeres, in my
opinion. Punta Nizuc is on the southern end and as you're travelling from
the airport to the Hotel Zone, you will come across the Punta Nizuc bridge.
There is a parking lot right before the bridge and from there, you can
follow a trail to this little cove where there is a very good, inexpensive
seafood restaurant frequented by locals. In this area, there are local boat
operators who will offer to take you out snorkeling for a price which is
negotiable. The real good snorkel sites are a bit too far to swim. The
second place is Isla Mujeres, and to get there you need to take a ferry. The
ferry leaves from several locations like Punta Juarez and Punta Sam. Ask
around when you there as to the location of the nearest ferry to Isla.
