5.00I could not be happier for the snorkeling on this tour. We booked outside the cruise as they didn’t offer this tour and I liked the 4 stops. Took a taxi $15 each way. Weather was overcast and water was choppy but the guide we had…sorry horrible with names was amazing. Too rough for my hubby he waited until we reached the stingray area. We saw turtles, plenty of coral and fish, an eel, stingrays. They showed us parts of Cozumel I had never seen before. The water was crystal clear. They served water, cola and beer and chips with fresh ceviche. Thank you three (boat driver, guide and photographer) for making our day such a wonderful experience
Great Tour

5.00Great tour! My only small complaint was the pick up point was a little hard to find but people at the marina are helpful once you get there.
Great, but harder than I thought!

5.00This tour visited three sites for snorkeling. We got to see beautiful fish, star fish, stingrays (and were even fortunate enough to see a shark!) The tour guides were outstanding and helpful. They provided ceviche, sodas, water and beer. They brought a professional photographer. Picture prices were comparable to on the cruise ship. Things I wish I knew: #1 the place was hard to find. The big sign said "May be tours" and the very little sign "Cozumel tours". The directions saying it was next to the tequila shop were also less than helpful since that was also a much smaller sign on that shop. #2 Keeping up with the guide was hard for weak swimmers at the first stop. I'd recommend practicing with fins before going. My son said they really helped him, but I felt like it made my situation worse #3 Put the mask on tight--really tight! Getting salt water in your eyes is painful #4 I kind of wish I brought my own snorkel. I had a hard time keeping saltwater out of my mouth and became queasy from the amount I swallowed. For that matter, it would have been nice to have practiced with a snorkel first. #5 You might get motion sick. My wife definitely should have taken dramamine. #6 There are three stops. The first one is the hardest. The last one you could just stand and eat a snack. #7 the bathroom cost 10 pesos per person at the dock.
Boat ride out was long...

4.00Boat ride out was long and super choppy waters. We felt like we were in the boat more than snorkeling. But liked the snorkeling and saw a lot snorkeling.
Great excursion.

4.00This is our third time of taking this tour. We finally got to see the sea turtles!!! All in all great experience. The swim guide loosened up the longer we were on the excursion which was nice. The water and the snorkeling is awesome. The sand bar stop is also fun. You can stand in the water and stingrays and fish will swim around you. The ceviche for a snack was really good!! I would recommend this excursion. Just know if you meet at the Marina it is an $11 a person extra charge. Also, ask the price of pictures before committing because we paid $300 for pictures (lesson learned)!!!!!
Too many people crowded on what we thought was a catamaran. Bait N switch. No free cancellation. Shameful Trip Advisor!

5.00Awesome experience with a very fun guide; got to see many rays, several nurse sharks, a barracuda, and a sea turtle. Time spent at each location was reasonable. Photos taken by the photographer were fantastic but expensive, but also optional to purchase. Safety briefing and snorkeling advice made this a doable trip for competent/able beginners (and above, of course). Several of the folks with us were older and snorkeling for the first time, and had a great experience while using provided life jackets. Most of these companies do a similar sort of experience (3 snorkel sites plus ceviche), and after being there and seeing many of them, I can confirm this one is a reputable one, so if you're trying to decide which of the dozen+ places to book with, add this one to your list!
Great trip with a wonderful crew

5.00Great excursion with a wonderful crew. We had family with us and everyone had the time of their lives We especially loved the extra time swimming with the stingrays and the fresh ceviche they made on the boat
Amazing experience

5.00I love seeing all the fish, turtle, starfish, rays. The crew was amazing. I went on tour 2 years ago and they didn’t have the photo option. That was amazing.
