Description
We're known for operating the best all-inclusive snorkel experiences on the island of Cozumel, including the famous 'El Cielo' and 'The Turtle Sanctuary'. We aim to visit 3 or 4 different destinations during the tour to give you a taste of what our beautiful island has to offer. We provide everything you need to enjoy the tour with us, including freshly prepared Mexican snacks and ice-cold drinks. Just turn up and we'll take care of the rest!

Had a great time snorkeling. We went to 4 stops, ending on a sandbar. We saw a turtle, stingray, nurse shark, and lots of fish. Only downside is they charge $80 for the pictures they take. I feel like it should be included like on other excursions I’ve taken, or at least a more reasonable price.
So much fun! The staff were great, and my safety felt like a priority. We saw a sea turtle, lots of starfish and sting rays! Pork chop, Adrienne, Leo were the best!

Hope to see you again soon!
We had an absolute blast! They had a photographer on board who got awesome shots of us in the water with all of the sea life. He was able to airdrop all of our pics to my phone. The guacamole was the best I have ever had. The ceviche and pico were delicious also! Oh, and the rum punch. Yummy!!

This tour was a mess, we were told we could be picked up at the dock of our hotel but that changed ( this was understandable as was told it was wind) but when I wanted to cancel I was told wait maybe we can pick you up….. so was it wind? Then I have requested a refund 3 times and still have not received the refund. 0 stars wasn’t an option.
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. While pickup locations may occasionally need to change due to weather and safety conditions, we recognize that the communication and the delay in processing your refund did not meet your expectations. Please reach out to us directly with your booking information so we can investigate your refund status and assist you as soon as possible.

They picked me up from my resort. They think you named everything. Everything came with a tour snorkel gear. They even had snacks for us to snack on in the middle of the ocean. Even though I was by myself. There was a group of about 20 people. The poor guy Leo was great. He stayed with us the whole time and pointed out animals like turtles, stingrays and reef sharks. You never left our side so he made us feel safe. Chuletas was the driver. He got us everywhere safely and made the ride easy and fun. Bebe tortuga was the leader of the boat. He's the one who gave us the directions and made sure we were safe. Can you let us know where we were stopping and what we should see. Such a great time. If you are in Cozumel, this is a must do
