Our tour destinations
The Mexican Caribbean has some amazing locations for snorkelling, and Cozumel is no exception. Our crystal-blue waters feature true hidden gems that won’t be soon forgotten.
Join us and our snorkel tour experts – simply sit back and enjoy the ride into the gentle sea breeze! Our tour itinerary includes these incredible destinations:
El Cielo is only accessible by boat and boasts one of the most impressive snorkeling spots in the whole of Cozumel. Due to it’s unique location, the water is shallow (~8ft or 2m) and nearly always crystal clear.
Literally translating into English as ‘Heaven’, with turquoise blue waters and an abundance of starfish – it’s easy to see why!

The not-so-little brother of El Cielo, with equally stunning blues, white sand beach, and water shallow enough to stand. This often makes it the perfect spot to anchor up, relax, and enjoy some well-earned drinks and snacks towards the end of our tour.
We are often always greeted by friendly stingrays on this portion of the tour, who roam the area curious to meet our new guests!

In terms of size, Cozumel’s reef system is actually second only to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef – making it a top worldwide destination for scuba diving.
As a snorkeler, you’ll get to explore part of this reef system here at Palancar too, witnessing some of the incredible coral formations and more commonly encountered sea turtles.

The prevailing currents at Colombia Reef make this a perfect habitat for many aquatic organisms, including many species of coral and brightly colored tropical fish.
Being a deeper reef, we sometimes even see larger species such as the beautiful spotted eagle ray and sting ray, when they come in to feed.

A tour-stop favourite, the turtle sanctuary is a little-known area of reef in Cozumel where we regularly encounter sea turtles feeding on the lush ocean grasses.
It’s not uncommon to see groups of 3 or 4 turtles together, totally at peace in their natural habitat as we swim close by in shallow waters. It’s perfect for those with an underwater camera, or simply take away beautiful memories that will last you a lifetime.

Beautiful sea-fans and delicate sponges populate this colourful shallow-water reef in a little-known location in Cozumel.
We don’t often visit, in order to help preserve the delicate corals – but on special occasions, and when weather conditions are just right, your group may be chosen as one of the lucky few to experience this truely remarkable gem of nature.

EXCELLENT Based on 1638 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor serena iVerified Snorkelling The team was super nice, well organised and very on time ! Amazing experience overallPosted on Tripadvisor Ali PVerified Amazing Wonderful and unforgettable dsy! Highly recommendPosted on Tripadvisor Alan MVerified Great excursion not to be missed! Wow this tour was AWESOME! The crew was amazing! Captain David, guide Leo, and chef/bartender Caesar were SO great! They were so friendly and kept the party going the whole time. What was cool was it was a smaller tour of about 25 guests. They took us to 3 different snorkel spots where we saw tons of fish, a turtle, small shark, stingrays, dolphins and an eel! Leo was always in the water with us and made sure to point out where the best things were to see. Then after they brought us to an amazing little cove only about 3 feet deep. There they brought out fresh fruit, guacamole(made right on the catamaran!), ceviche(which was incredible-first time having it), chips and pico…oh and did I mention the floated all the food out on a surfboard? So cool! Margaritas, Rum punch, tequila, cerveza, and plenty of n/a drinks were flowing on the way back with great music!

Leo, David were so helpful.Posted on Tripadvisor jaymac1500Verified Excellent Snorkel Trip We've been coming to Cozumel to SCUBA since the late 80's, before the cruise ship docks were built. We've been here so many times I almost didn't want to get off the ship. We couldn't find anything on Carnival's shore excursions, so I looked around and found this. Decided to take a chance, and glad we did. Had several phone conversations with the shop and they were very helpful. Arranged for pickup at the La Ceiba Hotel which was barely a 10 min walk from the Carnival dock. We were met by an agent who processed our paperwork. (Just a note - beware they will charge you another $28 US for various fees). The boat arrived fairly on time and off we went. After 2 more pick-ups we were snorkeling in beautiful clear water. We did 3 different snorkels, one over some reefs at Palancar/Columbia about 25 - 30 feet deep, one over a shallow grassy bottom with a lot of fish, and then one over sandy bottom with a LOT of large starfish. Finally we pulled up on a beach in waist deep water where we had some ceviche, guacamole and fruit snacks and we were surrounded by several different species of rays. The guides and crew were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this trip.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 2309 reviews Posted on Google Isobel LucasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sea señor was the best experience ever with Simon, Joshua, Alfredo and Gerson!! Really fun guys and make it so enjoyable, one also had cute duck shorts which are the best animal ever along with us being on a boat with a rubber duck on top! We seen so much wildlife such as fish, turtles, starfish, eels etc. Lunch was included and was a delicious typical Mexican platter of tortillas and guacamole. Best experience ever and the photos taken on the tour are gorgeous and completely worth paying for. Recommend so much and was an amazing experience that I would do again!!❤️❤️Posted on Google Franziska LaggerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sea se was a great experience. We also saw turtle and star fish.Posted on Google Nicky van der LindeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were on the Sea Señor. The food and drinks were excellent. We also really enjoyed the snorkeling, although some of us would have liked to have flippers to swim easier. The entire crew was very friendly and generous.Posted on Google Aroa MDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sea señor. Una excursion muy bonita y completa en la que pudimos ver manta rayas, tortugas y estrellas de mar.. El trato del Equipo que nos atendió, maravilloso, súper atentos en todo momento. Un lujo!!!Posted on Google Camila AnSanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Confiável. Cumprem o que prometem. Diante de tantos comentários ruins de outras empresas, preferimos pagar mais caro nesta e evitar problemas. A diferença de preço é grande, mas vale a pena. Poderia apenas ter jugo/sumo para quem não bebe álcool e para crianças que não tomam soda, sobrou apenas água. Mas no geral foi ótimo! Fomos no barco Enigma.Posted on Google Comercial GTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiência incrível!
