Huge turle and stingrays. Amazing ceviche on the water. - Totally worth it. They’ll keep exploring until they find where the turtles are. I got some pics with a huge turtle. The photographer is excellent and the pictures are incredibly high quality. You’ll see stingrays and starfish and other fish.
The coolest part is surprisingly having ceviche and drinks on the water quite far away from shore but shallow water. The stingrays come extremely close because they’re attracted by the food. This is by far the best way to experience stingrays up close. They’re very friendly and safe since we don’t pose any danger to them. Three of them swarmed around me touching my leg with their head, body, and tail, searching for food. Really cool.

Beautiful Day in Cozumel - My husband and I booked this tour. The boat was slightly crowded which made snorkeling weird sometimes when we were all bumping into each other but it was still amazing. Our crew was so awesome! Our favorite part was hanging out in the waist deep water literally swimming with stingrays! The rum punch and margaritas were delicious! So was the snack! Carlos took some awesome pictures for us! We would love to come back and bring family on this tour!

Incredibly Well-Run & Organized & FUN!! - This was a fantastic excursion, and Alex was sincerely a pleasure to work with.
Turtles! Starfish! Tropical fish! Sting rays! Ceviche, margaritas and the clearest blue waist-deep water to relax in after snorkeling.
Our cruise shortened our time in Cozumel, which would have put our return in question, but Alex was able to move us up and ensure we were back in time.
His professionalism and response-time were incredible.
The crew on the boat was fun and helpful and so kind to our kids and family. Great music and great boat ride!
We will definitely recommend to all our friends and family traveling to Cozumel.

Great tour!!! - I had to leave off one star because we came on a cruise and we had to pay for transportation to and from the port. We’ve used viator before but this is the first time we had to pay for transfer to and from. Also they charged us $6.00 extra PP for a marina fee, which I thought was a little extra because we already paid the $300.00 for the excursion. I was a little taken back we had to pay to get to the marina but it was just a lot more I didn’t want to pay for.
OUTSIDE of the nickel and diming, Leo, Carlos were FANTASTIC! They were fun, energetic, probably one of the best excursions I’ve ever done. We did fury last time and this tour tops it! The ceviche was fresh and tasty, we were offered water and adult drinks after the excursion, the little beach break with stingrays was memorable. I’d recommend this 10 times over, but I would hope the tour operator would include the Pennie’s into the fee. Also we saw only one turtle, but I don’t blame the crew for that!

Do not recommend the boat Lá Chulaa in Cozumel - We stayed at the catamaran Lá Chula and at least 4 people could not enjoy the ride and see the fish because it was forbidden to go down to the sea through stairs , just jumping and people with difficulties can not even old people ! An absurd because there was a ladder in the catamaran and they didn't let us use it to go down to the sea they said it was forbidden and the ladder could only use to go up , but funny that at the last stop , when we had already lost 3 stops without going down he released everyone's descent by the ladder ! Absurd! Revolted!
