Glide across the turquoise Caribbean aboard a private catamaran to Palancar Reef — one of the world's top dive sites — for an intimate snorkeling experience above rainbow-colored coral and gentle sea turtles.
What to expect
Board a sleek catamaran at the International Pier and sail south toward the protected UNESCO biosphere of Palancar. Certified dive masters brief you on the reef's geology before you slip into gin-clear 80°F water above towering coral pinnacles. Back on deck, a fresh ceviche and open bar await as you sail home with the wind.
Good to know
All-aboard is typically 10 PM; the half-day charter is back well before 5 PM. Pre-book the private charter at least 2 weeks ahead — it sells out fast. Bring reef-safe sunscreen (required in the national park).
