Seize the day and venture to snorkel over the beautiful Palancar Reef. Don’t miss the opportunity the swim around the beautiful local coral and maybe encounter animals such as the angelfish, crabs, lobsters, sunfish, and even sea turtles.
We will meet at Playa Mia’s reception booth, inside the downtown pier terminal, and aboard the catamaran. Then, we will sail through the splendid Caribbean waters directly to Palancar Reef. Our PADI-certified snorkel master will instruct us on properly using the snorkel equipment.
After a magical experience of drift snorkeling over the famous reef, our next destination will be El Cielo Bay, Cozumel. El Cielo Bay is internationally known as the paradise on Earth named after the incredible sky-blue ocean and the starfish that inhabit it. Once we had spent a heavenly time at the beach, we will go to Playa Mia Beach Club.
Relaxing at the beach, we will please ourselves with an exquisite lunch. From this moment on, it is up to us enjoy our time as we want. There are many services and attractions included we could do in the beach like water bicycling, volleyball, soccer, ping-pong, pedal boats, kayaks, or we might simply swim in the ocean and take a sun bath. Finally, it will be time for us to navigate back to the pier where we will continue seizing the day independently.
