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 some of 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.
