“We had a WONDERFUL time today on our snorkeling tour. When we arrived at the meeting point, my daughter and I were the only two there. We offered to not do the tour since there were not more people there and it would not be monetarily beneficial for the company. The owner of the business insisted that we still go. The water was extremely rough but we never felt unsafe with our tour team - Captain Carlos and Guides Miguel & Santiago. Captain Carlos and Santiago were always on watch for other boats while we were in the water. Miguel was an incredible guide. He was patient, was alert and…”

“This was a fabulous trip!! Carlos and Manny did an exceptional job taking our family of five (47, 45, 24, 19, & 16) to 3 snorkeling spots. We had the chance to see many coral reefs, fish, starfish and SEA TURTLES!! We ended the trip with snacks and drinks hanging around the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our crew’s energy, enthusiasm, and kindness during the excursion!! I especially loved having the boat ALL to ourselves for the trip!! *There is a 30ish minute drive in the boat out to the snorkeling and back to the resort - but, honestly, this was my favorite part. It is a GORGEOUS view from the…”

“This was not a snorkel experience since they provided no fins! Just a mask and snorkel. Also, pretty sure one of the reefs we went to was dead :/ Not a catamaran either…a sad old boat. Overpriced. Only redeeming aspect was the sandbar at the end with some booze and ceviche. 10/10 would not go!”
Cozumel ATV mud ride, cenote visit, boat snorkeling, beach lunch, water park, and open bar in a lively 5.5-hour tour.
“Our guides made these experiences so wonderful. Friendly + informative. ATVs into the jungle. I jumped in a cenote from 25ft above. We saw wildlife. Our snorkel tour was awesome. I even got to see a barracuda. Our meal + happy hour at Tortuga’s was awesome. I even got to snorkel near the dock some more.”

“We did this trip in late May. We had a few struggles. The guides were REALLY interested in the young girls who joined our family of 7. The waves made it such that we could not picnic, and that was a bummer. The guides served it anyway in an area that was weird. We got out of the boat in some gross mud and tried to eat and have drinks. There was not enough water—I wished we had brought water with us. The fresh guacamole was ruined by a wave. :( Anywho, we listened to very very loud music all the back, and we were pretty desperate to just get…”

“The Atv portion was fantastic! We had to wait about an hour after that for the Clearwater portion..that sucked. The boat was cool...but too long of a trip with screaming kids...couldn't go to the beach and lunch portion because too late for cruise return. We wanted to shop a bit in Cozumel.”
Review of Cozumel’s six-hour catamaran tour with reef snorkeling, El Cielo, Playa Mia lunch, open bar, tips, and practical drawbacks.
“The communication was not good. The time was changed without being notified. We missed the boat and had to pay $70 in taxi fare to try to catch it and the representative was so rude and not helpful. I will say the reps when we made it to Playa Mia were more helpful and friendly.”
Review of El Cielo Cozumel’s private snorkel boat tour, with reefs, starfish, rays, ceviche, drinks, beach access, and practical booking advice.
“We absolutely LOVED our time in Cozumel with Victor and Ruben. We saw beautiful sea life in 3 different spots with the last spot definitely our favorite. They called it Heaven and it had to be close. Pristine crystal clear water with stingrays that were not aggressive but just swam by. Victor and Ruben prepared a amazing dish of ceviche that was super fresh as well as yummy guac and fresh fruit that we enjoyed. They had cerveza, water and soft drinks. This excursion was personal and special because there wasn't a ton of people on board. Would definitely go again next time we are in Cozumel!!”
