Admission fees
Het snorkelen stelt niet veel voor. Als je al eens in Curaçao of Indonesië gesnorkeld hebt, zou ik deze excursie mijden. Er zijn wat tropische visjes, een schildpad als je geluk hebt, en een aantal zeesterren, maar verder niet veel. De plek met de roggen is wel mooi, maar in totaal duurt dit misschien 5% van de excursie. Alleen daarvoor dus niet de moeite waard. Transfer en dergelijke zijn wel goed geregeld.
Hop aboard a super-speedy boat headed to Cozumel Island, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and its marine life are waiting. Soak up the breathtaking landscapes before snorkelling at two of the most famous reefs in the southern part of the island, Palancar and Colombia. They're separated by a couple of metres of open water, so you'll have wall-to-wall reef to explore.
Next stop is the shores of El Cielo – which literally means ‘the sky' in English – as it's famous for its peaceful atmosphere and giant starfish population, which you'll find covering much of the ocean floor. You'll also have the chance to see stingrays and other sea creatures during your time here. Afterwards, there'll be some time to relax and check out the views from El Cielito Sandbar, before heading towards the centre of Cozumel.
For lunch, you'll get to try some of the region's typical dishes at a vibrant, local restaurant with an ocean view, before rounding off the day with free time to wander around Cozumel Centre. You've the option of a quick tour here – including a visit to the central clock tower at the heart of the island. Then jump back on the boat to sail back to Playa del Carmen, where your transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
