Beautiful Snorkeling Tour - We had booked a tour through our resort we stayed at in Play Del Carmen. Took the Ferry to Cozumel for our tour. Our guides were awesome! We snorkeled at Sky Reef and saw some really cool fish and a sting ray. We cant wait to go back and go again

Beautiful snorkeling excursion in Cozumel - Great trip. My son and I genuinely enjoyed the trip with Capt Alberto and host Miguel. Never felt rushed during the snorkeling, and each spot was beautiful. A big advantage to this excursion is the size: its limited. The last thing you want is a boat with 20-30 people on it all swimming around the same spot. We had a blast and saw abundant wildlife. The reef is pristine. It's 4.5 hours of ocean scenery. You end the day on a great sandbar with beers and the Capt's own guac recipe served on a floating raft. It was blissful, and we loved it. I will certainly book them again. (Note: if staying in Playa-book your own ferry tix to Cozumel)

Beautiful Water, nice day on the sea - It was an enjoyable day seeing many types of fish, some star fish, and even a few nurse sharks. We were on a cruise ship docked by Margaritaville and took a taxi to the marina and walked back afterwards. If you don't mind walking it is an easy distance.

Great snorkeling tour! - Great tour! Guides were very helpful and took care of everyone. It was nice that we had a small group (12 people) and they were great about showing us specific things in the ocean and taking pictures for us. Exactly as described and would recommend!

It was a disappointing tour - There weren’t many fish or sea creatures at all and all 3 snorkeling locations were very empty. The water was clear and we got to see 3 tortoises, but other than that there are much better other snorkeling locations. We also spent very little time at each destination (but because of the lack of fish, it’s ok that we left quickly). The tour was also organized poorly where at the end, the tour guides make everyone stand in the water for 40 mins while they tidy the boat, even though it shouldn’t have taken that long and everyone seemed like they wanted to get back on to the boat and leave.
