Enjoy snorkeling at two of Cozumel's top stops - El Cielo Starfish Bay and Columbia Reef. Hop aboard the Aqua Dream Catamaran and enjoy snorkeling followed by a beach break at Playa Mia Grand Beach Club.

With a capacity of 60, pick a spot and relax during your ride to the snorkel sites. The catamaran crew will circulate on the deck to pass out cold beverages during the 1-hour sail. When you arrive at the famed Columbia coral reef, the shore excursion crew will pass out the snorkel gear and show you how to use it. They will then assist you into the water and lead you on a guided drift snorkel. This means that the gentle current will guide you over the reefs and you will not have to use your fins too much. There is a lot of beautiful marine life to see as you glide from one reef to the other. The time takes about 45 minutes to drift snorkel over Colombia Reef.

Then hop back on board the catamaran and head to the magical, El Cielo (in Spanish) or "heaven" in English about a 15-minute sail away. This special location is also known as Starfish Bay. This is a shallow white sandy bottom bay only accessible by boat. Starfish of many varieties are scattered along the bottom. Guests may use the snorkel gear to glide over the starfish or relax in the shallow water (on average the water is approximately 3 feet deep). Guests will have approximately 45 minutes to enjoy this special bay that not many guests ever get to see.

At the end of the snorkel part of this Playa Mia Catamaran Shore Excursion, you will be assisted back aboard the Aqua Dream catamaran boat. The excursion crew will have an open bar ready to refresh you! The captain will then set sail for Playa Mia Beach Club for your beach break. At Playa Mia, you will have about 1-hour to enjoy the lunch buffet and all the facilities at the beach club. There is a lot to choose from and do. You will also have an open bar!

At the end of your Cozumel catamaran excursions with a beach break, the staff will send you back to your pier via taxi. Guests may also have the option to stay at Playa Mia and return to the cruise ship at their leisure and at their own expense. Note the opening hours at Playa Mia Beach Club are 9:00 AM to 05:00 PM.
