About this excursion
Cozumel is renowned worldwide for its reefs, crystal-clear waters, and marine life—and this adventure lets you experience that underwater world in the water and from a glass-bottom boat
That's what makes this experience different. Snorkel among coral formations, tropical fish, and marine life, then climb back aboard and enjoy the scenery through the glass bottom as you cruise Cozumel's waters
The experience brings together two of the island's most famous marine attractions: Palancar Reef and El Cielo, a spectacular sandbar known for its shallow turquoise water, white sandy bottom, and starfish often seen beneath the surface. Together, they reveal two different sides of Cozumel's underwater world
Whether you're an experienced snorkeler or trying it for the first time, your guide and snorkeling equipment are included, along with snacks and drinks
Two iconic Cozumel locations and two ways to discover the incredible Caribbean waters that made the island famous—from the boat and in the sea.
