Amazing Experience!!! - This snorkeling tour was the highlight of our trip to Cozumel! Our family had never been so many were nervous. Juan was a great captain and Eric was the best guide! Eric was very accommodating for the kids and made sure at all times that they felt safe in the water and weren’t missing any of the sights. Thank you Juan and Eric for making this the best part of our trip to the island!!

A day to remember! - The whole experience was wonderful! I had originally scheduled my tour for 9:30 am but had to change to noon. They were so kind and accommodating. Miguel and his partner took us to 3 snorkeling areas. We saw starfish, schools of fish, turtles, stingrays, lots of coral and to end the day, they made us fresh guacamole with chips and watermelon. Also, they had drinks for us. Miguel took wonderful pictures of us underwater so we didn’t have to worry about that.

Amazing! - This tour was amazing! The crew was great and really prioritized safety on the boat.
We stopped at 4 different places and ate delicious fresh fruit and ceviche.
Carlos took the most amazing pictures and photos. They are not included in trip price, but reasonable for purchasing.

Recommended. Nice, relaxed snorkel tour, worth the money (forget Playa Akumel). - Recommended.
Smallish group, fast boat with shade, tour with softdrinks and a snack (good chevice, guacomole) enjoyed while standing in shallow water with stingrays. Friendly and helpful guide, thanks Eric.
Four stops, each with a focus: turtles, corals with plenty of fish and sleeping sharks in a coral cave, starfish and finally for us a new experience: many stingrays around us in very shallow water (1m), while enjoying fresh snaks and interrupted by dropping down to watch a stingray, a nice experience. Although several other boars nearby, it did not feel crowded.
All in all, a nice, friendly and relaxed tour with snorkling sights in clear water. Worth the money (forget Playa Akumel which is a circus of the worst kind).
I would happily have taken my kids on the tour from perhaps 10 years, assuming they are able to swim and snorkel confidently.

Not for families. - - The information wasn’t consistent. We’re told we could bring and use reef safe sunblock which we brought. After we ported the dock, we were told that we couldn’t use any sunblock which resulted in 2 completely sunburned fried kids and 2 sunburned fried adults.
- The ride back to the dock turned into a shot, shot, shot event with pole dancing which is not appropriate for a family turtle snorkel trip.
If you’re looking for a nice turtle snorkel day with your family, this is NOT the trip that you want to explore.
