A day in Tulum
The tour was good. The locations that were pick for photos was a good choice. The tour guides were excellent, very friendly. However the main attraction which was the sculpture garden was closed due to construction. It would have been appropriate for Viator to make us aware and let us decide if we still wanted to do the tour. In stead our payments were deducted from our accounts with our advising us of the change. I traveled from Washington DC and my sister from Ghana Africa just to experience it. We found out the morning of the tour from the tour guides who thought we knew. Viator’s failure to communicate does not take anything away from the tour or the guides. As I stated they were wonderful.

Everything Cozumel
This is an excellent opportunity to have a little taste of all things Cozumel: beach, tequila honey and chocolate tastings, Mayan dancing and food, black coral, sea turtles hatching. Our tour guide, Tio, was so knowledgeable about the island. He was very friendly and entertaining.

Highly recommend
Our driver Angelo was such a great tour guide and took us all around Cozumel showing us cenotes, beautiful beaches, great bars and even downtown. He made our day super special and he has such a great personality. Would love to use him again when coming back to Cozumel.

Turtles, stingrays, and stunning underwater photos - a snorkeling day to remember
Great experience, very well organized tour on a cool, spacious catamaran. Professional photographer Rafael took great pictures and videos, a huge plus for the memories. We saw sea turtles, starfish, stingrays, and a lot of variety of fish. The fresh ceviche with chips was absolutely delicious. Bathroom available on the catamaran. Thanks to the Cozumel Snorkel Center team!

Unforgettable day in Cozumel
Sergio was our guide and he was fantastic! Along with Tanya who was training. They have a cooler with complimentary water, beer and soda which was great with it being super hot in August.
First I would like to say they let you customize this tour to whatever you like. I was traveling with my husband and my three children ages 21, 22 and 25. My 25 year old son got to drive the jeep, so he was thrilled. It is no surprise they wanted this first stop at a tequila tasting shop. I enjoyed learning about how tequila is made. They of course want you to buy something at the end, but you can just say no. You can also skip this if you don’t enjoy drinking.
Next we headed to Playa Chen Rio. We saw a crocodile, climbed up some lava rocks on the beach and got a coco loco served in a fresh coconut at the family run stand.
Next we headed to the blow holes. On our way there a turtle release open air bus was pulled to the side of the road. Sergio pulled over so we could watch. Unfortunately no one was there, but this shows how thoughtful Sergio was to make sure we had the best experience possible. We all climbed to the blowhole and were able to get our picture there. It was a lot of fun getting sprayed by the ocean water.
Next we went to the cenote at Jade cavern. The road to get there is bumpy. We were laughing and having fun at getting bounced all around. There are fruit bats here but they do not harm you. There is a slight smell of sulphur due to the bat dung. There was an opening in the cave that was about 3 meters high. The three kids jumped from there. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
We headed to the Money Bar after that. You can shower off here. We had a free lunch of fish or chicken tacos or burritos, then we went snorkeling. We saw an eel, parrot fish, clown fish, trumpet fish and a lot of other fish too. The whole day was great! Sergio and Tanya did everything to make this excursion unforgettable! They even took pictures and videos of us for no extra charge and sent them to us through the What’s app.

Amazing private driver experience with Alvin
Alvin was our amazing private driver. He was very hospitable and friendly. He tailored the tour to what we wanted to do and even changed it due to us not drinking.. so that we went snorkeling instead of the tequila part of the trip. He was very knowledgable on the ruins and the island in general!

Great, but harder than I thought!
This tour visited three sites for snorkeling. We got to see beautiful fish, star fish, stingrays (and were even fortunate enough to see a shark!) The tour guides were outstanding and helpful. They provided ceviche, sodas, water and beer. They brought a professional photographer. Picture prices were comparable to on the cruise ship.
Things I wish I knew:
#1 the place was hard to find. The big sign said "May be tours" and the very little sign "Cozumel tours". The directions saying it was next to the tequila shop were also less than helpful since that was also a much smaller sign on that shop.
#2 Keeping up with the guide was hard for weak swimmers at the first stop. I'd recommend practicing with fins before going. My son said they really helped him, but I felt like it made my situation worse
#3 Put the mask on tight--really tight! Getting salt water in your eyes is painful
#4 I kind of wish I brought my own snorkel. I had a hard time keeping saltwater out of my mouth and became queasy from the amount I swallowed. For that matter, it would have been nice to have practiced with a snorkel first.
#5 You might get motion sick. My wife definitely should have taken dramamine.
#6 There are three stops. The first one is the hardest. The last one you could just stand and eat a snack.
#7 the bathroom cost 10 pesos per person at the dock.

Extremely Accommodating Tour Operator!
We made a huge mistake and booked the wrong day however they graciously still accommodated us! The cenote with a fun jump and lots of bats was one of the best we’ve seen in Mexico. Everyone at the beach club was welcoming the fajitas were delicious and they kept the drinks flowing during the 1-hour. On the snorkeling trip just offshore we saw a nurse shark and beautiful bat fish. Highly recommend this activity.

My family and I had a...
My family and I had a beautiful experience on this tour with our guide, José Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and told us a lot about the islands history and answered all our questions. The island is absolutely beautiful and this was an amazing way to experience the many treasures it has to offer as well as have a delicious meal and some relaxing time on the beach. We enjoyed the tour immensely and would recommend it to others!!

Highly recommend this tour! We loved it!
Little difficult finding the location for jeep pick up, but once located, things were easy and smooth. We had a beautiful jeep with a cooler in rear full of water, and beverages. We had a guided tour all over the island. The guide drove his car in front of us. So many amazing stops especially at the tequila tasting museum. The staff was so friendly. We also stopped at a scenic beach, light house and preserve. The restaurant we stopped to eat at, had authentic Mexican food and was amazing! Each time we got back into our jeep, the guide had it running and cool for our comfort! The beverages in the back were always refreshing and cold. Highly recommend this tour! Can’t wait to go back!
