“The excursion itself was very fun and we’d highly recommend. But even more, the staff was amazing - they went above and beyond (thank you Pedro!!!). They were great guides, very attentive, gave great directions and information. And also, we left my husband’s wedding ring on the bus and they drove all the way back to our hotel (we stayed in town and didn’t take the ride back) to leave the ring with the concierge. We are so so grateful. Thank you again!!”

Snorkeling was amazing experience, seeing all different colored fish swimming near us.”

“This was my second boat tour from a different company and I was surprised how much the boat driver barely talked about the arches. He didn’t seem like he wanted to be there and made us uncomfortable. He barely knew any historical facts and wouldn’t even talk about it in Spanish. It wasn’t enjoyable or fun like the other boat drivers I’ve experienced. I could’ve probably done the Job better”

9.Bavarian Fiesta Snorkel Activity in Glass Bottom Boat at San Miguel de Cozumel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 90 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $117

Review of Cozumel’s Bavarian Fiesta snorkel trip, with shipwrecks, reefs, El Cielo, snacks, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.

“DO NOT BOOK THIS. We did not get the tour we booked. I read many reviews and decided to spend extra on this tour just to be handed off to another tour at the last minute. It was a very large group, did not speak our language, had no German beer, and the snacks and drinks were extremely limited. We were told we could have ONE beer and how ever many "margaritas" we wanted. The margaritas tasted like lemon soda. We also were not taken to the shipwrecks as in the description. I got the impression that our booking was "sold" to the cheapest bidder.”

Loved getting on the water, getting in some good activity and pics, and back at the hotel by the pool before noon!”

A budget Cabo boat ride to the Arch, Lover’s Beach, sea lions, and Pacific views, with a small glass-bottom window and beach-time limits.

“The boat was 30 minutes late. We had to stand around in the sun doing nothing until it came. Then we were driven to a gas station for boats, where we spent the next 10 minutes fueling the boat. The guy on the boat only spoke Spanish, if he spoke at all in the first place. Some of the scenery was definitely beautiful. But the point of going on a glass bottom boat Was to see fish through the bottom glass. The glass on this boat was very small, and the only fish we saw were for the 30 seconds when the driver of the boat threw some food into…”

“Our guide Hugo Zambrano was awesome! He gave us all the info about the Los Cabos Arch and the cove of the Cortez sea we were able to explore. We saw sea lions up close, snorkeled with a dozen types of beautiful tropical fish, saw the coral reefs, and kayaked right up to the sandstone arches. Highly recommend for couples, friends, or families with older kids looking for a little adventure. No better way to see the arch of Los Cabos and the ocean as well!”
