“Our experience with Hugo, Diego, Eric and David was absolutely amazing 😍 between the catamaran, food, snorkeling, drinks and sandbar time we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, and sensational day! The marina was easy to find, the communication through WhatsApp was super smooth and Hugo was very helpful walking us through it all!”

Review of Cozumel’s private El Cielo snorkel tour, with reef stops, ceviche, drinks, beach time, pricing, tips, and practical advice.
“Carlos, Omar, and Berenice helped us have the most perfect day in Cozumel! We stopped at 3 stops to snorkel and saw turtles, starfish, stingrays, and many colored fish! We then got to hang out at a sandbar and had stingrays go right by us! Great drinks, ceviche, and fruit were served! The group also let us put on any music we requested and made it easy to get on and off the boat. Berenice took great photos that we got to purchase afterwards. Would definitely book this excursion again and request Berenice!”
Review of Cozumel’s catamaran snorkel tour to Palancar, Colombia Reef, El Cielo, and The Money Bar, with costs, tips, and honest advice.

Cozumel's $39 invisible boat tour offers clear-hull reef views, optional snorkeling, drinks, and a small group, with a few timing concerns.
“We loved every part of it! We went with 4 people in their 40s and a 12 year old in our group. Older people and small kids were on boat as well. Everyone appeared to have a great time. Even if you choose not to snorkel (you should though, even if you are new to it!) looking through the boat down in the water is worth the trip! We felt very safe and would recommend to anyone! Thanks!”
Review of Cozumel’s El Cielo catamaran snorkeling tour, with reef stops, turtles, starfish, drinks, beach time, costs, and booking tips.
“We couldn’t go on the catamaran because we couldn’t go at the time we made the reservation because of time restraint from cruise, so they took us at an earlier time just my family and I on a smaller boat. Still visited same spots. We couldn’t be happier it was so beautiful, we live in the Florida keys used to clear water but nothing like this it was absolutely breathtaking. I recommend 110%”
Review of Cozumel’s ATV mud ride and boat snorkeling tour, with cenote stops, lunch, drinks, costs, safety tips, and honest value advice.
“Would highly suggest the snorkeling but avoid the ATV ride. We just returned from a quick 4 night stay in Cozumel. We chose this excursion based on reviews so I thought I would come give a review to help others. We booked or tour for 11 AM. We thought we were going ATVing first and snorkeling second but when we arrived the man who greeted us said that we would be snorkeling first, which was fine but we were told to go lounge on the beach and that someone would get us when it was time. This did not happen. At about 11 we went seeking out our tour and…”

“Highly recommend!! We only had a few hours to enjoy Cozumel so we booked this tour, for the price it is I can’t believe the experience we received! The guys were amazing super friendly and knowledgeable. We went snorkelling in 3 different spots and its was amazing. Perfect amount of time in the water and a great experience”
Review of Cozumel’s private El Cielo snorkeling tour, with reefs, starfish, sea turtles, stingrays, ceviche, drinks, pricing, and tips.
“We had a fantastic few hours with Panky (snorkel guide) and Alberto (Captain). They were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and we had the best snorkeling experience I have ever had. nurse shark, eagle ray, moray eel, sea turtle, star fish, conch, lobster … and then topped off by chips and homemade guacamole in the ocean while rays swam around us. Also got great underwater photos from Nedi. Marina is a short, safe 15 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Highly recommend”

“Ricardo and his crew did not disappoint. We upgraded to street tacos for our lunch for an extra charge of course but they were bomb. He also made sure he stoked xx beer on the boat. Book with Ricardo, you won’t be disappointed.”
Review of Cozumel’s ATV, clear boat, snorkeling, tequila tasting, and Playa Uvas package, with honest tips on price, timing, and value.
“Our guide Sergio was excellent! Very friendly and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the ATV ride left A LOT to be desired. We were the only ones on that part of the tour, and now I know why. You LITERALLY rode through a dump, yes garbage piles. The ride was rough and there was nothing to see but rocks, dirt, broken down vehicles and large garbage piles. I thought it was more of a jungle / beach ride. Not even close. The clear boat was amazing and a lot of fun. We stopped at a tequila tasting and small tour which was interesting. Lunch was ok...not great. The beach itself was very…”
Review of Cozumel’s six-hour catamaran tour, with reef snorkeling, El Cielo, Playa Mia lunch, drinks, costs, and practical tips.
“We showed up for our tour on our scheduled time, and no one was there. After calling a few times I got ahold of someone who couldn’t find our reservation, then we were told they canceled for the day due to weather, the tour itself was great the next day, but i was traveling with children and it was a big inconvenience to show up for a tour that was not happening.”
