Experience snorkeling at Cozumel with a wonderful tour in the VIP Glass Bottom Boat “Cubana”, the only one of its kind in Cozumel with different features that make your trip way much more comfortable and stress-free, we’ll pick you up wherever you’re staying!
This is the best way to snorkel at Cozumel!!! You will be mesmerized by the crystal- clear waters and truly amazed at the wonderful fish and other sea creatures you may see.
After enjoying your time at sea, the boat will take you to "Tortugas Beach Club" where you’ll be able to relax and enjoy yourself while having a traditional Mexican lunch. Beverages aren't included during this part of the activity. This takes around another 2 hours.
- We'll meet you at your Hotel’s lobby (or Airbnb) or near the entrance, but it’s
important for your hotel to be situated at one of these locations; Puerto Juarez, Cancun, Puerto Morelos, or any hotel between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. There’s a maximum of three stops that the van could make along the way, including yours. - Once you arrive at Playa del Carmen, a guide will be waiting for you and will walk you to the Ferry Pier where you might have to wait for the rest of the passengers to arrive before the Ferry docks. It’s important to note that beverages and snacks aren’t included in the Ferry, so you’ll have to pay for them if you want some.
- Once we get off the ferry, you’ll be taken to the Hotel "El Cid la Ceiba” where the boat will be waiting for you.
- You'll board our boat "Cubana", and the guide on board will explain safety measures and protocol you'll have to follow underwater, as well as how to use your equipment correctly. It's essential to pay close attention.
- The guide will hand you your equipment with your new snorkel tube which is a sign that it is time to start jumping in the water.
- Your first stop will be Villa Blanca Reef, where there's a photographer situated in case you'd like some underwater photos. After around 25-30 minutes, you'll be asked to board back up.
- Next stop is Paraíso Bajo Reef (Shallow Paradise Reef); there, you'll spend another 20-25 minutes, and you might swim across to Paraíso Profundo Reef (Deep Paradise Reef) or be asked to board again and be taken there by boat. They are very close to each other, but it depends on the current.
- The boat will take you to “Tortugas Beach Club” where you’ll be able to purchase the photos taken if you’d like, and where you’ll have your lunch by the shore.
- After lunch, you will have additional time to hang out at the beach club and use the facilities before you head back to the Ferry Pier to board the 6 pm Ferry back to Playa del Carmen.
- Once you arrive at Playa del Carmen, the driver will be waiting for you outside Señor Frogs and you’ll be good to go back to your hotel after having a thrilling day of snorkeling at Cozumel!
