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!

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.

5.00Pork chop baby turtle and Leo took excellent care of us. We saw some beautiful wildlife. The waters were perfect. They fed us ceviche with guacamole and chips and salsa, and the ceviche was to die for.
Excellent.

3.00Overall a good experience, but the boat is not a "luxury" catamaran. It's actually a little uncomfortable, it feels like you're sitting on the floor, only a few seats have padding and back rest. The "reef" snorkeling was disappointing, very shallow and only a few fish. The guy taking pictures in the water has a stick with food to attract the fish and those are the only fish we saw. "El Cielo" was a little better, we saw some starfish, but it's nothing like the pictures you see everywhere. The highlight was "El Cielito", we had a tasty snack, ceviche and fruit, and we saw rays swimming around us while standing on the sand bar. They also have to pick up other passengers from different spots on the way there, and have to drop them off on the way back so there's two or three stops each way and this takes time away from the actual time in the water. The crew is very nice and do their best to make sure you have a great time. The sightseeing from the water is very nice. I would recommend it, but I would not call it "luxury" by any way.
Great snorkel, Turtle & Star fish experience w/ beach time at El Cielito

5.00Really enjoyable nice time for the family!!! They treat you well, feed you well, the guides tell you where to look to get the best experience possible in the water. Está súper el tiempo que te la pasas con ellos, el capitán Israel y todos te ayudan para que te sienta cómodo. Se recomienda ir con ellos si quieren pasarla bien en familia!

5.00The entire experience met and exceeded all expectations! Swam with sea turtles, starfish, manta rays, sharks, tropical fish and several spiny lobsters. The end was exquisite! Enjoyed the blue translucent waters, white sand and the delicious ceviche, guacamole, pico de galo and pina coladas.
A tour not to be missed!
