Beautiful Day - This was a wonderful snorkeling experience. The captain and guide were friendly and made fresh ceviche on the boat for lunch. We saw fish, turtles, sharks, rays and the reef was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Great snorkeling sites! - Snorkling sites were the most outstanding snorkeling experiences I have ever had. Sea turtles, starfish, stingrays, and thousands of fish. Reese and Pablo were friendly and helpful. My only negative comment is that I have always been supplied with fins whenever I have booked a snorkeling excursion. Mask and mouthpiece provided, but no fins provided by provider.

Safe, reliable, well-organized, and fun Company! - We really enjoyed our trip with Lelo and Captain Alex! They were kind and thoughtful and we felt safe and had so much fun snorkeling in gorgeous Cozumel. I appreciated that they are taking care of their ecosystems by limiting use of sun tan lotion. Nice small group and perfect amount of time in the water. Jessica also provided clear instructions for accessing our meeting place from our cruise ship. I very much recommend this company for your Cozumel snorkeling trips!

Amazing! - Great tour! Saw some amazing things on the reef: stingrays, sea turtle, star fish and so many fish! Definitely recommend El Mayor. Nice small tour - which we preferred over the huge groups we saw out there.

Highly recommended! Turtles , starfish and stingrays - We went on a tour in February. In 4 hours we visited 4 wonderful places. We saw a turtle, barracuda, countless colourful fish, several nurse sharks hidden in corals, big starfish and eventually sting rays which were totally not afraid of people and swam among us. The tour guide kept a close eye on our safety and kept our small group together. Drinks were available all the time and at the end a fantastically tasty ceviche was served straight in the water, among sting rays! Last but not least - before boarding the boat there were two lady employees greeting tourists at the marina, reassuring that we arrived in the right place. Totally unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Snorkling tour - Our snorkling trip was very enjoyable. We liked that our group was only 8 people. The snacks and drinks were very good too. We saw lots of fish, numerous stingrays, and starfish. One reason we didnt give 5 stars is we would have rathered spent more time snorkling on the reefs vs at the sand bar.
