Best of Cozumel
This tour is an absolute must-do in Cozumel. We visited El cielo, Palancar and Columbia reefs, which were stunningly beautiful with incredible visibility. I was blown away by the amount of marine life we saw—everything from schools of vibrant fish, starfish to stingrays and even nurse sharks!
We finished the day relaxing at the sandbar, which was the perfect way to wind down. If you want to see the best of Cozumel’s underwater world, book this tour!
Kudos to Ricki, Christina and Gustavo.

Great Trip! I'd highly recommend it!
The tour was great! We got to see lots of wildlife and the guides were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and were great at keeping us safe while showing us around. The starfish area was my favorite. The starfish were huge.
The only negative comment was that the photos they take are amazing but they are very expensive ($3,000mx/$172.00usd). So I recommend taking your own photos if you want them.

Family snorkel
Nice and friendly guide & captain.
JoseLuis was really fun & funny, too.
They were very good with first time snorkelers.
The photographer, Natty. Did a wonderful job!
One concern was the sound of the motor; it seemed to be struggling throughout the trip, but all turned out fine!

The most beautiful water I’ve ever seen!
This was a 10/10! Amazing excursion for the price. We got to snorkel at three locations, then hang out at Cielito Beach for a while after, where we had drinks (water and beer) and a snack (ceviche).
We did get really sunburnt because sunscreen is not allowed due to the protection of the reefs. So I would highly recommend wearing one of those long sleeve swimming shirts. Overall, this was an amazing excursion, and I would for sure recommend it without a doubt!

Snorkeling in Paradise
There was a crew of 3 guys, one a photographer that took some amazing underwater photos for people to buy at a reasonable price. The boat was perfect and we had 3 stops, all very fun! We saw nurse sharks, stingrays, of course fish, and starfish! The waters were warm and everything was just lovely.

Excellent snorkel tour!
We had a great time snorkeling at three different reefs. Saw sea turtles, sting rays, baby sharks and a ton of fish. The water clarity was excellent. The crew was very proffesional, fun and made sure we were all having a good time and we were safe. They served us fresh ceviche, cold drinks and chips. I would highly recommend this tour.
