Simple straight forward and great

Published on Jan, 2022

I had a great time on this tour and everything worked out very well. One thing to take note of is this is from Playa Del Carmen because I booked and didn’t realize it didn’t include transport from Playa Del Carmen over. But I quickly resolved it by getting about over and made it in time to join the group. The ceviche provided was delicious, we saw starfish stingrays and tropical fish along the coral reef. It was a great tour.

Good experience at a fair price

We found this agency online and chose them after the good reviews than contact them via Telegram and asked for details and price. Compared to what we found their price was fair and offered the same things as most of the others. The tour starts at Marina Caleta and you can either arrive there on your own, as we did or there is a meeting point in the main city and they transfer you to the departure point. Our boat only had 8 passengers and 2 crew members so was not crowded at all. The trip till the first stop is about 45 min and after you visit 2 reefs along wit the guide. First reef is nice you can see fishes buy se on looked bit empty. This will take about 30 minutes after hop on the boat again and in about 5 minutes arrive to Cielo, where you can see starfish and stingray. The stop is for about 20'. Last stop is at Cielito a lagoon with shallow water where we eat fish ceviche and drank bear in the water along with the stingrays that might pass by. This final stop is for about 40' for you to enjoy and catch a breath. All the experience was good and our crew was amazing, boat name was Amazing I, sorry I don't remember their names. Thank you for everything!

Great time and Outstanding Crew!!

Pink Tours is a small company that puts Customer Service first. Marisol got everyone together at the ferry dock in town and into transportation headed to the boat. Captain Mario gave us a smooth ride and his wife Jolly kept us hydrated with water and later served her tasty Ceviche along with chips and beer. Bayo was the Guide and was aided by a pair of young wranglers, Roman and his cousin. Enrique was available to take photographs and kept us entertained with his stories and dancing. One thing to be aware of for snorkeling in Cozumel is, in an effort to prevent damage to the coral formations, the Marine Park where the sites we visited are located require the use of flotation belts and restrict the use of fins. Apparently too many tourists have carelessly swum down to the reefs and kicked or fanned the delicate coral with their fins. You shouldn't let this deter you from snorkeling with Pink Tours as all tour companies must abide by these rules. Also, at two of the sites fins were unnecessary since the group just drifted with the current and the boat was there to pick us up when it was time to move on. The third spot was a sand bar where the water was only 3-5 feet deep and no vests were required. We saw a couple of big sting rays there. Another thing to be aware of if you arrive in Cozumel via a cruise ship--the cruise dock is about 3.5 miles from the Ferry dock where the tour originates and a cab will take about 15 minutes & $8.

Excellent!
