The beautiful Caribbean water, reef snorkeling, and the white sandy beaches...these are 3 things Cozumel is known for and you will enjoy all 3 on this Cozumel Boat Excursion to Playa Mia Grand Beach Park.
The excursion meeting point is located close to all the cruise piers. With a maximum capacity of 80 guests, you will have room to find the best spot for you to relax and enjoy the sail. The friendly, English speaking shore excursion crew will be circulating to assist you and pass out beverages. The catamaran will sail south along the shore for about an hour to your first snorkel site at Columbia Reef located within the protected Marine Park. The crew will pass out the snorkel gear (it is all provided), they will demonstrate and assist anyone needing help. You will then follow them on a guided drift snorkel tour over Colombia Reef.
Drift snorkel means the boat will drop you off over one reef and the gentle currents glide you along. Your snorkel time is about 40 minutes. You can expect to see a wide variety of colorful tropical fish, sea sponges, and coral formations.
When you have completed your snorkel, you will get back on the boat and head to the famous El Cielo or "Heaven" known for its resident starfish covering the bottom of the white sandy bottom bay. Snorkel or just relax...the shallow water is "heavenly". Onboard, receive a refreshing beverage from the domestic open bar on board the boat. Then the captain will set sail for a 25 minute trip to Playa Mia Beach Club. When you arrive at Playa Mia, you will be faced with a lot of choices of what to do because all the amenities and facilities are included. You will have the all-you-can-eat buffet with international choices, all-you-want fresh water fountain beverages and tons of activities to do during your stay (1 hour 25 minutes approx.) See the list below of everything included. You may also purchase alcoholic beverages at the bar on site at an extra cost.
When your beach break time is over, the catamaran will take you back to the meeting dock. You also have the option to stay at Playa Mia and return to the ship at your leisure and own expense.
