Overview

Cozumel Snorkel is a family-owned and operated outfit that runs its own boats rather than reselling other people's seats, and has been doing it for over a decade. The draw is the cap: boats that hold twenty or more are run with a maximum of twelve, and groups over eight get the boat to themselves.

What The Trip Includes

Access to Palancar Reef, Columbia Reef and a lesser-visited secret reef, plus the El Cielo swimming area, with experienced local guides in the water. Turtles and rays are common sightings. The Cozumel Snorkel and Cielo Tour and the three-reef Snorkel Cozumel trip are both $50 for four hours. A Cielo Sunset Tour runs three to three and a half hours at $40 for adults and $30 for children.

Boat And Group Size

Boats are certified for more than twenty passengers but capped at twelve, with an onboard bathroom. Bookings of more than eight guests are given a private boat at no extra step up.

Good To Know

The sunset trip is the interesting one: same sandbar, far fewer people, and a price that undercuts the daytime run. Departure times are set around the cruise ship schedule, so confirm your slot when booking. The operator also sells jeep tours, ATV tours and beach day passes.

Getting There

Departure points are arranged with your booking and set around the day's ship schedule. Contact the family directly by phone or email to fix a time.
