We're known for operating the best all-inclusive snorkel experiences on the island of Cozumel, including the famous 'El Cielo' and 'The Turtle Sanctuary'. We aim to visit 3 or 4 different destinations during the tour to give you a taste of what our beautiful island has to offer.
We provide everything you need to enjoy the tour with us, including freshly prepared Mexican snacks and ice-cold drinks. Just turn up and we'll take care of the rest!
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your sailing time. All times shown are for Cozumel’s local timezone, which may differ to your cruise ship timezone. Check before booking.

What To Expect
We’ll visit some of the most amazing reef locations on the island of Cozumel, including a green turtle sanctuary where we can snorkel alongside peacefully in their natural habitat. We also visit ‘El Cielo’ (‘Heaven’) - an incredible natural starfish sanctuary, filled with many bright red & orange starfish on pristine white sands. Towards the end of the tour, we’ll move on to Cielito, or ‘Little Heaven’. This is a natural sandbank in crystal clear water, where we can simply relax and enjoy freshly prepared snacks and drinks before cruising back to port with the sunset. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your sailing time. All times shown are for Cozumel’s local timezone, which may differ to your cruise ship timezone. Check before booking. Please do not apply sunscreen immediately before or during the tour; 'reef safe' or 'coral safe' sunscreens only minimise damage to our reef systems and are not proven to be completely harmless to aquatic life. Many sunscreens can also create slippery surfaces which can pose a hazard on our boats. As an alternative, we recommend using a long sleeve rash vest and hat.

5.00Turtles, sharks, dolphins? You got it. Not just going to the spots everyone else is but finding niche locations that you haven't seen. Photography was unmatched, and high class tequila served. Don't miss out. Don't bother looking into anyone else.
Snorkeling with turtles, starfish, stingrays. Great time

5.00Amazing day with amazing hosts. We stopped at three different sights to snorkel. All were spectacular in their own right. We saw so many schools of bright fish, 4 sharks, barracudas, beautiful starfish, sting rays, eels, a puffer fish and 4 or 5 turtles. Additionally, the photographer was exceptional and did his best to capture you with marine life all around. They end the tour with a stop at a sand bar where you can stand in waist height water (chest height for me due to being vertically challenged), visiting with friends and snorkeling, while they float surfboards out with rum punch, guac and cervicci with chips. Surprisingly very fresh and delicious. The water was crystal clear and the marine life abundant. In fact, several stingrays were extremely friendly while we were chilling with our snacks and drinks. The only challenge is the bathroom on the boat. You need to have a strong sense of adventure and be VERY stable on your feet. If not, be sure to go before you get on the boat or in the water, because it is like an event from Fear Factor. I feel like I needed a shirt that said "I survived the toilet!" No joke! Overall, it was an amazing day, and exceeded my expectations. We snorkel at almost every port and this trip was definitely in our top 5.
Awesome time 😁

5.00Top tour. Partly a bit stressful because many other groups are snorkeling in the places at the same time. But that makes the great underwater world disappear.
Fun had by all!!

5.00Our group of 8, ranging in ages from 76 -21, had a wonderful day with Captain Leo and crew (hopefully I got the name right). I would highly recommend booking your outing with Cozumel snorkel center.
