Travellers board a luxurious catamaran that takes them to a gorgeous snorkelling spot, where they’ll enjoy the wide variety of sea life in the Caribbean reefs. As snorkelling is optional; those who don’t wish to get in the water can stay at the boat and enjoy the open bar. Once the boat docks at Isla Mujeres, a delicious buffet lunch will be waiting for the group at Zama Beach Club, one of the best on the island. After that, visitors will have some free time to explore Isla Mujeres’ downtown for some shopping or even spending some time at the beautiful beach of Playa Norte, before returning to their hotels with a smile upon their faces.
