 Trustindex 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!!❤️❤️

 Trustindex 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.

Peter and the crew were so great! Amazing snorkel spots. Saw nurse sharks, lobster, barracuda, starfish, turtles, swam with rays. It was so great. Couldn’t recommend the tour and this group more highly.

 Verified Semi-Private, Open-Water, Gorgeous and Exciting Snorkel Tour
Outside of the confusion regarding the meeting place, everything was outstanding. Hands down our most fun day of all our port cities. Angus and Winston were so much fun, inclusive, and made us feel safe. There were only 5 passengers, plus the 2 crew, making it feel like a private experience. We stopped at 4 places, and I believe we were out on the water about 3.5 hours. Unfortunately, we did not see any turtles or nurse sharks, but plenty of tropical fish, small jellyfish, and sting rays.

 Verified I give the tour a 10/10.
My husband and I had an unforgettable experience with Pedro "Peter" and his group. Everyone was super attentive, careful, and courteous. I only have compliments for them. It was very easy to get to the starting point from the port of Cozumel, as it is located in the center (Asta Bandera) and there are many taxis available. I really recommend this very fun tour!

 Verified An unforgettable morning at Cozumel snorkel center!
Highly recommended, Captain David and his crew were extremely attentive and careful with everyone's safety on board. Good lunch with the manta rays at the end of the snorkeling. Highly recommended but watch out, check the weather well beforehand. With heavy rain it might not be as fun

 Verified Great experience overall
It was a great experience overall and the crew onboard were very friendly and accommodating…. however there was poor communication regarding the pick up point which ultimately resulted in us paying additional taxi fare and port fees that could have been avoided.

 Verified Poseidon Team 10/10
We got caught in a huge storm, however the Poseidon catamaran team made us have a very good time. We could not visit the main sites since they were closed, but they took us to three other very nice sites where a manta ray was seen. Water, ceviche, tequila, sun, coconuts, and music are all that is needed to have a good time.

Where we'll visit

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

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!

El Cielito

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!

Palancar Reef

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.

Colombia Reef

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.

Turtle Sanctuary

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.

The Secret Reef

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.
