Turquoise Blue Caribbean - Simply a very nice tour, with a warm welcome at the old south harbor. Everything was relaxed and our very nice guide "Gustavo" guided us well while snorkeling in the turquoise blue water. The captain, Alberto, brought us safely back to our harbor. Highly recommended.

Good offer also for cruisers - Hello Birgit We would like to thank you and the team again!! There were four of us and we booked the private snorkeling trip on Cozumel, which I can only recommend to everyone! We saw turtles, rays and lots of colorful fish and then swimming on a sandbank was just beautiful. On Costa Maya we went to the seven-colored lagoon Bacala and were also thrilled. Relaxed on the boat, we enjoyed the different colors of the water and also went swimming. We also saw cenotes in the water, which I had never seen before!! Thank you again and we will recommend you to others Jürgen and his team

Recommended snorkeling tour - We were looking for a German-speaking tour. Birgit accompanied us personally and gave us an unforgettable day. She told us a lot about the island and the underwater world in a very informal way. She sent us pictures and videos of the trip free of charge.

The crew was wonderful... - The crew was wonderful and very kind to my son, who was nervous swimming in deeper ocean than he ever had before. We loved seeing the stingrays at El Cielito.

Absolutely fantastic private boat tour with food and drinks to see beaches, starfish, and sea turtles - So this is my third or fourth tour with Leon Tours, and as usual it was beyond fantastic. I've been to Cozumel many, many times, and this tour company is excellent. This tour took us on a private boat out to an area of beach where the water is crystal clear and only about 1-2 feet deep. There was only my party of five on the boat. Swimming around us were tropical fish and stingrays. (They said we could have gone to a private beach with no other people around, but this area was beautiful and not crowded at all.) The boat crew brought beverages and also made fresh fruit, guac and ceviche right on the boat. And to be honest, after spending the previous week in Cancun and Cozumel, this guac was the best we had the entire time. At the time of our choosing, we were taken to a starfish snorkel area. Then we went to a sea turtle snorkel area. We saw at least ten very large turtles. The area we departed was basically right next to the cruise port. Absolutely great day and decent price.

Breathtaking Experience - This was by far the best thing we did in the Riviera Maya. The crew is all so helpful and experienced. The reefs we went to were so nice, and finishing off in El Cielo was truly an amazing experience. It was 11 of us and after doing tons of research, Leon Tours offered the best deal and AMAZING customer service! Will definitely book with them again on my next trip!

Great time. Friendly crew. - We did this tour as an independent excursion while our cruise ship was in Cozumel for the day. While we weren't able to go to El Ciel to see the star fish due to the weather, and they had to sub out another boat because of an engine issue on the original boat, the tour was excellent. Raul and Milton were excellent guides/captains and we got to snorkel at four separate reefs. We also had nice snacks including fruit, guac, chips, beer and water. It was a friendly and fun atmosphere. Even though we were not very experienced snorkelers, we had a great time and lots of help from the crew. I definitely recommend.

It's worth it - Everything was well organized and the tour was fun, despite there being many other boats at the three spots. The underwater world here unfortunately doesn't seem to be intact anymore, but the stop at the stingrays was worth seeing.
