Activity itinerary

Start at the assigned meeting point in Cozumel, where the team welcomes travelers, confirms the reservation, and guides the group to the pier before boarding. Once on the boat, the route begins with Palancar Reef, one of the island’s most recognized snorkeling areas, where clear water, coral scenery, and tropical marine life introduce the underwater side of Cozumel. Continue to Columbia Reef for another snorkeling session in a different reef environment, with blue water, natural formations, and time to enjoy the sea. The experience then moves to El Cielo, a shallow turquoise area known for its bright water and starfish that may be seen resting on the sandy bottom. Afterward, visit El Cielito, also known as the Cielo sandbar, a calm area that brings a softer ending to the activity. During this final stop, snack service may include fish ceviche, guacamole with tortilla chips, and seasonal fruit, along with beer, bottled water, tequila, and margaritas before returning to Cozumel.
