ITINERARY

1. We'll meet next to the ferry pier, just outside “Señor Frogs” where a guide will briefly debrief what to expect.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. You'll board the glass bottom boat, and the guide will explain the safety measures and protocol you'll have to follow underwater and how to use your equipment correctly. It's essential to pay close attention.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The 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.
8. After the snorkeling portion of this activity, the boat will drop you off at “Tortugas Beach Club” where you’ll have a traditional Mexican Lunch called “fajitas” or you’ll be provided transportation to the Mexican Restaurant called “Casa Misión”: You get to decide which of the two restaurants you prefer.
9. When you finish eating, your driver-guide will be waiting for you to begin the private island tour.
10. It’s time to discuss with your personal driver-guide what you’ll like to see and where you’d like to be taken, your driver-guide can help give you recommendations, but at the end of the day, this is Your Day, Your Way!!!
11. It’s important to maintain a certain sequence with the order of things you’d like to see to maximize the time; please coordinate it with your guide; they’re experts at this.
12. Once the activity is over, your driver-guide will drop you off at the Ferry Pier so you can head back to Playa del Carmen and rest after spending the day at Cozumel Island!
