Love to vacation Posted July 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I have asked this on the ports of call board with no responses: Has anyone done the Coral Reef Boat Snorkel through Carnival in Costa Maya? I don't have any information on this Glory excursion. Can anyone help me??? Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthorn1108 Posted July 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2004 My husband and son did some snorkeling in Costa Maya when we were there in Sept. 2002. It wasn't booked through the ship, as this was an unexpected port of call (we were diverted here from Grand Cayman because of hurricane activity). They just went to the beach/shopping area at the end of the pier and rented snorkel gear and went off a deserted, rocky area of the beach. My husband said it wasn't as great as some of the other places he snorkeled, but it was alright. They saw some fish, rock formations and a stingray.

grenowoods Posted July 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2004 We bought tickets at a booth near the ship for $20pp. Then we took a taxi to the snorkel location. Make sure you know the name of the person to look for on the beach as it's not obvious where to go when you get there (the taxi driver will point you in the right direction). I thought the snorkeling was pretty good, not the best, but definitely not the worst either. The boat was somewhat dilapitated but it worked. The water was pretty rough the day we went out and I was pretty tired when I got back. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
