Awesome snorkelling experience!

Published on Feb, 2023

We had a great experience on this tour! Very well organized from start to finish with the multiple types of transportation we required from our resort in Puerto Morelos. Our tour guide Alejandro and the crew were kind and hospitable, Miguel took some amazing underwater photos and the price to purchase them all was a reasonable $30USD. Definitely worth it for the clarity alone! The food was tasty and more than enough. Shoutout to a different tour guide, Rodrigo, who we ended up sitting beside on the ferry ride home, he shared a lot about the history of the island and photos. We appreciated it! Of note: it was a very, very long day. Our travel agent at the resort gave the impression it was 6-7hrs total, but was approx. 11hrs roundtrip. We didn't realize the lengthy travel time involved between the shuttle, ferry and speedboat ride itself to snorkel –which was early afternoon before we got into the water. Bring a change of clothes for the wait time/shopping after the snorkel tour itself, until the next ferry arrives. If you’re not one for crowds, this experience is not for you as we were part of a large group leading up to and from the actual snorkelling tour.

David and Cucurumbe are the BEST

Published on Jul, 2022

This was the best! I am so glad we chose to take this excursion. David was our favorite tour guide that we have had in 4 chock full trips to Mexico. We also suspect he might be a literal merman given the way he jets down to the ocean floor to share the wildlife with you. The crew was gracious and went out of their way to make certain our whole family had a blast. Fatima (the paparazzi fish) took the best pics of our family and sold them to us for a steal. We had an epic day with this group. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Breathtaking!

Published on Jun, 2022

We were picked up at our resort in Playacar and driven till the ferry harbour to cross to Cozumel island. Our tour guide was Claudio, a very gregarious, helpful and knowleagable host. After aprox a 90 min voyage we got to an amazing, beautiful reef on the Island: Colombia Bajo, Palancar. Mowi was our lead diver who was always keeping an eye on the group. Then we continued on the boat so as to snorkel into the crystal-clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean and reached "El Cielo", famous for the starfish Sanctuary and for being a world-class destination. A spot with shallow waters and white fine sand which together makes the most breathtaking turquoise blue tones. After that we headed till El Cielito where we enjoyed a delicious lunch on the boat and a tasty treat of fresh fruit in the shallow waters. Thanks to all of you! Breathtaking and worth doing!!!

Brilliant

Published on Jan, 2022

We recently went on a trip with Claudio and it was fantastic. We thought Claudio was a great host and lots of fun as well as being very informative. We thought the whole tour was really well organised, from pick up to drop off. Lunch was great. The boat crew were great. Miguel Alfonso took some great pictures. The snorkel spots we were taken to were brilliant and there was enough time to snorkel in each spot. Lots of beers on board. Would do again. Thanks guys.

Unbelievable beach

Published on Oct, 2021

Absolutely incredible snorkel experience! We plan to do this again on our next visit. The beach and water is like the stuff you see in commercials! Highly recommend! And also agree to pay them to take your photos underwater… so glad we did that! Worth every penny.
