A safe, supervised 3-hour snorkeling trip is available daily to three of Manzanillo's finest locations. Start off on a shallow coral reef that's at least 4,000 years old, then go on to coral-encrusted Elephant Rock in a secluded cove with a small, private beach, and finally move on to our 300-foot-long sunken cargo ship in only 30 ft. of water.  Each site has a variety of different kinds of sea life, including moray eels, schools of grunts, king angelfish and yellow-tailed surgeonfish, and hard and soft corals. A fascinating tour from 9 a.m. to noon, with transportation, equipment and refreshments provided.
