Fun and well organized. - Our guide, Paulino, was fun, friendly, environmentally responsible, patient, and spoke good English. We saw sea turtles, rays, nurse sharks, big starfish, pufferfish, and a lot of different pretty tropical fish. Afterwards, we lounged in the shallows and enjoyed ceviche and beer. And it was bit cheaper than other trips. Transportation back and forth from the dock was not included, but they were waiting in an obvious location when we arrived and then called us a cab afterwards.

Worth It!!! - this tour was amazing!! my family and i took the ferry to cozumel, from there we got a taxi to the meeting location for $8 (they might tax u more idk). they took us on their boat always made sure we were okay and felt safe! my mom and two sisters (19,6) don’t really know how to swim, but our tour guide made sure they were always safe!!! we went in the middle of the ocean for the first excursion, there’s not much to see tbh but that’s not the guides fault it’s more pollution. the second beach we went to the water is so crystal like and we saw starfish! and then ether take us to El Cielo to eat some GOOD ceviche and we see stingrays and they make it very clear to not touch them or follow them!!! As long as you listen to their instructions you will have fun!!! Worth the money we paid for. On our way back they helped us get a taxi back and we went back to Playa Del Carmen on the ferry again.

El Meyor - We had the absolute best day with El Mayor!!! My eight year old daughter just described our day as, "It was magical". The snorkeling was beautiful and Alfonzo and Alex were the most amazing guides we could have hoped for. Thank you for making our trip to Cozumel so special. If you are on the fence about which snorkeling company to go with while in Cozumel, you won't go wrong choosing El Mayor. Thank you again Alfonzo and Alex for such a great adventure.

Great Experience snorkeling - We had a great time, father and daughters team. Great communication before and the day of arrival. The captain and assistant were great making me feel at ease not being an experienced snorkel. My daughters loved it ages 14 and 12 years old. The fruit was appealing along with the ceviche, cold beers and fruit sodas. Playa cielo stop was the amazing part so many string rays to view. We had a hiccup with the credit card payment, but the father and daughters allowed for us to board and on the return to figure out the details. With the credit card system was down but upon return we all figured it out.

Great snorkeling! - We had a great experience. I really appreciated the extra communication to help us find them and then arranging a taxi for the way back. That was all extra, the snorkeling was a lot of fun too for my family of 6 (ages 8-43). They were very attentive to us and focused on safety. Since we booked a private boat we were able to do and go where we wanted. We saw a bunch of sea life and had a great time!
