The glass-hulled boat lets you discover the Cozumel reef without getting in the water, in a short two-hour format. A large glass panel in the central floor looks down onto the seabed, which you can watch from your seat.
The route follows a stretch of the Mesoamerican reef, the second largest reef system in the world, in a moderately deep zone. The skipper and a bilingual guide comment and identify the species: parrotfish, clownfish, sergeant majors, brain corals, elkhorn corals and sea fans. Depending on the season, you may spot eagle rays, green turtles or small shoals of barracuda. Two formats are available at the same price, chosen when you book. In Cancún, an hour and a quarter without snorkelling, meeting at Kaybal marina in the hotel zone. In Cozumel, an hour and a half with snorkelling, meeting beside the main pier. Transport is included in neither.
