There’s nothing like snorkeling in Cozumel’s crystal-clear waters! Sharpen up your day with a wonderful tour in the VIP Glass Bottom Boat “Cubana”! “But what if I’m staying in Playa del Carmen?” you may ask, don’t worry, we’ll come get you!!! ”Cubana” is the only boat of its kind in Cozumel with different features that make your trip way much more comfortable.
Being out on the sea when you visit Cozumel is as good as it gets!!! You will be mesmerized by the turquoise water and truly amazed at the colorful fish and other sea creatures you may see.
After enjoying your time at sea, our crew will take you to "Tortugas Beach Club" where you’ll be able to relax and enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch. Beverages aren't included during this part of the activity.
- We'll meet next to the ferry pier, just outside “Señor Frogs” where a guide will give you a short debriefing of what to expect.
- After everyone that’s going to participate in the activity arrives, we’ll wait together for the ferry to dock and board. 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 by taxi to “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 a photographer is situated in case you'd like 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 chill at the beach club and use the facilities before you head back to the Ferry Pier where you can choose if you’d like to hang out and go shopping or head back to Playa del Carmen.
