Float above Palancar’s coral plates, drift through San Clemente’s gardens and wade the shallows of El Cielo on a private 4-hour Cozumel speedboat snorkel. This three-stop tour pairs PADI-guided snorkeling with provided equipment and light refreshments.

You step off a low-speedboat and the Caribbean opens like a blue room — shallow sand flats, towering coral plates and a current that nudges you toward color.
