What To Expect

Cozumel has some amazing locations for snorkeling, but there are some true hidden gems that won’t be soon forgotten. Our 4 hour guided tour will aim to take you to most of these incredible destinations – simply sit back and enjoy the ride!

All our comfortable boats are fully equipped with safety features, powerful well-maintained engines, and staffed by experienced crew. We also go that one-step further, providing you with top-notch snorkelling equipment, drinks and freshly-prepared snacks throughout the whole tour.

Subject to weather and ocean conditions, our list of potential destinations include:

- El Cielo
- El Cielito
- Colombia Reef
- Palancar Reef
- Turtle Sanctuary

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your sailing time. All times shown are for Cozumel’s local timezone, which may differ to your cruise ship timezone. Check before booking.

Please do not apply sunscreen immediately before or during the tour; 'reef safe' or 'coral safe' sunscreens only minimise damage and are not proven to be completely harmless to aquatic life. Many sunscreens also create slippery surfaces which can pose a hazard on our boats. We instead recommend using a long sleeve rash vest & hat.

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
