4/5
94 reviews

Boasting the largest reef system in the Americas, white sands and clear waters come as standard in Cozumel. On this tour, you'll board a high‑speed boat from Playa del Carmen and cruise around some of the top sites for snorkelling along the island's south shores, in search of exotic marine life and colourful coral. You'll be guided around Colombia and Palancar reefs, plus be sure to look out for starfish at El Cielo – a sandbar aptly named “heaven”.

    Didn’t mind the fast drive back in the minibus but would have preferred a proper seatbelt, ie, a 3 point rather than a lap belt. The blokes running the tour were brilliant, all speaking excellent English, which was great as my Spanish is zero. The lunch in the sea with the stingrays was surreal. It was pricey but we had a great day. We were knackered and both fell asleep at the evening entertainment. Oops!

    Everything was amazing. Diego the guide was fantastic, explained everything clearly and the trip was amazing. One small thing about the purchasing of pictures - the photographs were $100 but 2 seconds later tried to sell them with $80 to someone. That's very unfair and pictures are a rip off. Just to make people aware.

    It was sold as swimming with turtles! And I didn’t even see a turtle, the boat was not a boat! It was a rib. Neither things bothered me too much but it should be explained better what experience we are being sold

    A brilliant day and definitely worth doing. The staff were fantastic, attentive and reassuring, particularly with snorkelling safety, drinks and hospitality. We weren’t told the trip had changed from speedboats for up to 12 people to a catamaran with around 22, which added an hour of travel, but we actually preferred the relaxed catamaran experience. The only downside was the messy organisation before and after. Overall, a great experience!

    The trip was great BUT we were in an inflatable boat with no roof / shade so we were in full sun the whole time and not allowed to wear sunscreen. There were many badly burnt people by the end of the trip. VERY poor health and safety
