Itinerary

  • Palancar Reef

    This coral reef is in the Cozumel Marine park and streches for miles. Discover colorful corals, tropical fish and maybe a stingray or a turtle.

    1 hour 20 minutes

  • Playa El Cielo

    Enjoy the shallow waters and see the starfish that assemble in the sand. In Spanish, "EL CIELO" means "heaven". It is one of the most spectacular places in Cozumel if not in the whole Caribbean. After seeing the starfish, we move to the more shallow waters. Here we have snacks and fresh fruits, a beer or a soda. Stingrays circle around us, sure an unique experience.

    1 hour 10 minutes

High touch experience

Published on Aug, 2023

Our family had a great snorkeling trip and loved our time with Lalo and Gustavo. Both were intent on curating the best experience possible. We saw plenty of fish, a sea turtle and stingrays. All very safe! Leon tours also graciously picked us up and dropped us back off at our resort’s dock! So easy and accommodating- first class from start to finish!

Great place

Published on Mar, 2023

This was the best part of my trip, el cielito is just amazing, the ocean it’s so clear it looks unreal.

"Pefect Day in Every Way"

Published on Oct, 2022

This was a wonderful experience to our group of 10. The reef and water was so clean and a very easy snorkel experience. We couldn't believe how clear the water was and how helpful and nice the guides were. Thanks to them it added to a perfect day.

Fabulous day, great communication

Published on Jul, 2022

Fabulous half day experience. Safety conscious and friendly captain and guide. Great snorkelling, and opportunity to get close to stingrays and see lots of starfish. Very easy and quick communication in organisation the tour. Highly recommended

Perfect 4 hours

Published on Mar, 2022

The tour was fantastic. We spotted three reefs, each of different wildlife. Very nice guide and pleasant co-snorkelers.
