ITINERARY

1. 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.
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, a guide will collect your remaining balance and lead you to the panga.
4. You'll board the panga 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.
5. The boat ride to the first stop takes around 40-50 minutes.
6. The guide will hand you your equipment with your new snorkel tube, courtesy of us at Safe Tours Cozumel, which is a sign that it is time to start jumping in the water.
7. Your first stop will be Colombia and Palancar Reefs, where a photographer will offer to take some underwater photos of you and your family and where you’ll see the biggest coral formations. After around 30-40 minutes, you'll be asked to board back up.
8. Next stop is “El Cielo” there, you'll spend another 20-25 minutes, and you’ll get to see by yourself if it truly lives up to its name.
9. Afterwards, the boat will take you to the final destination where you’ll spend your remaining time at sea: “El Cielito”. Here you’ll get to sit back and relax while the guides bring out fruit snacks and drinks. The water here is so shallow that you can sit in the sand and enjoy your refreshments there.
10. Once you’re done snorkeling, the boat will take you back to the Ferry Pier and a guide will take you to a traditional Mexican restaurant where you’ll have your lunch before heading back to Playa del Carmen after an amazing day at the island.
