Overview

Explore some of Mexico’s top snorkeling locations on this comprehensive adventure to beautiful Cozumel. World-famous for its diving, the island boasts great snorkeling spots and fascinating underwater sights. This complete tour takes you to you five different coral reefs, Cozumel’s best and most important ones. Upon arriving on the island, board a speedboat and head to El Cielo, the popular national park on the southern tip. Put on your snorkel gear and plunge into the cool waters of the Caribbean to take in the incomparable beauty of the marine flora and fauna you are witnessing. Colorful coral formations, playful tropical fish, and with some luck, graceful sea turtles and stingrays, form the breathtaking seascapes. In addition, you will discover the Palancar, Columbia, Chankanaab and Paradise Reefs—each representing a unique experience. Back on the island, enjoy a lunch on the beach, before continuing to San Miguel, Cozumel’s main town.

Sea turtles, reefs and rays

Published on Feb, 2023

Early start from our hotel but the journey was worth it as Cozumel was a great experience, we saw numerous fish, two turtles and a number of rays visiting the three sites. Some free time in Cozumel was also a lovely unexpected surprise.

Great day, excellent snorkeling and terrific staff!

Published on Dec, 2021

The Cozumel Reef Snorkeling Tour was excellent. Getting it scheduled was a bit challenging because the first date was full and the second date/time overlapped with our COVID tests, but after that it went very well! They picked us up at the resort on time and took us to the ferry terminal. From there they gave us a ticket for the ferry and we waited for the next boat to leave for Cozumel. Once we landed at the Cozumel ferry terminal we went directly to the boat for the trip. It was a very nice boat, that was well kept, clean and organized! The staff was excellent and the snorkeling was very good. We also saw the starfish and anchored to eat our provided lunches, which were very good! And, we were delighted to see a stingray in the shallow water where we were anchored. The staff was patient and helpful and we had a great day!! They got us back to the ferry terminal in time to return to Playa del Carmen by 7 PM, as several of us had Christmas dinners at our resorts. Well done, and money well spent!

One of the best!

Published on Jun, 2021

The snorkeling tour was the highlight of our trip. We have taken several snorkel tours over the years and this one was one of the best. The wildlife was great but the crew made it awesome. The crew: Hugo, Eric, Julice, and Jesus were a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. The photography was beautiful. Julice captured so many great moments. The lunch was good too! We had an unforgettable and wonderful day.
