★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,041 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $65

Review the Cozumel Turtle Sanctuary Snorkel Tour, with turtles, El Cielo starfish, ceviche, drinks, boat tips, costs, and cruise advice.

“Not a turtle sanctuary! We didn’t see any turtles but a great snorkeling experience. We loved the dock pickup option. Times are loose guidelines but they provided text communications when they were close. We had a 9 month old baby with us so they were great for allowing us to bring her with us and very nice about her joining us on the boat. Very nice staff and all in a great experience! Photos available for purchase and the docking fee and the marine fee mean lots of expenses outside of the original price. We saw a nurse shark and the video of it was very cool!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 718 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $74

Explore Cozumel by private Jeep with Mayan ruins, east-coast views, snorkeling, local lunch, and a guide who shapes the day around you.

“I booked a jeep excursion for two. My guide was wonderful! We were suppose to see ruins, snorkeling, eco park, and the east coast of Cozumel. We only saw the east coast and a Tequila tasting (which we were not suppose to do). We didn’t do ANYTHING else that I signed up for. Our guide did her best, however. Granted, it did rain which was unusual, but we still could have seen the ruins, the east coast, and possibly snorkel. Our poor guide was given a jeep with the check engine light on the whole time. The windshield wipers only worked for a few seconds, so she had to keep…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 543 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $35Best value

Review of Cozumel’s two-hour glass-bottom boat snorkel tour, with three reefs, gear, drinks, safety tips, costs, and practical booking advice.

“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…”

Review of Cozumel’s El Cielo catamaran snorkeling tour, with reef stops, turtles, starfish, drinks, beach time, costs, and booking tips.

Review of Cozumel’s $65 Jeep tour to El Cedral, Jade Caverns, cenote, tequila tasting, and Dzul Ha Reef snorkeling.

“Our host Miguel was absolutely amazing. Having a local take you around to the best stops in Cozumel is an experience everyone needs in their life. We tasted the best tequila and Margaritas. We saw authentic Mayan culture in the jungle, all in the AC of the jeep. Or you can get out and adventure around, whatever experience you would like! We saw beautiful and colorful fish in the clear waters with snorkeling gear provided. All you need is a bathing suit, a pair of sneakers and some cash to take home that amazing tequila. Miguel will take care of the rest. There are plenty of stops for food and…”
