Must do! - This was such an incredible snorkeling experience, it definitely gets to be on the top of our most memorable experiences. Ricky, our tour guide, was fantastic at leasing us through the coral and showing us the different kinds of fish. He was so happy to show us around and was always so animated and friendly. He took us to four different snorkeling spots and they didn’t disappoint. We saw sting rays, sharks, barracudas and lots more. Christina took some amazing pictures of us snorkeling, she was super sweet too. Miguel was our captain and was happy to talk to us too. I loved this excursion so much, I’ll be coming back with my friend in February.

Excellent Snorkeling Trip!! - I booked this snorkeling trip for myself and my family. We had 5 adults and 1 toddler and everyone had a wonderful time. Ricky and Christina were both great with the baby and were so nice! We felt very safe with the Captain who was clearly extremely competent and was very nice and funny and accommodating.
We were visiting Cozumel with a cruise and it was an easy and quick cab ride from the port to the marina where the tour left from.
We visited 3 different snorkeling spots and Ricky was an amazing guide, spotting a sea turtle, baby reef sharks, lobsters and more. We saw so many different species of sea creatures and the water was gorgeous. We ended at a shallow area where we were able to stand in waist high water and bring the baby in to float around while stingrays swam by our feet. The captain prepared fruit and ceviche for us and served it to us on a float so we could enjoy it in the water along with water, soda and beers which were all included.
Christina took amazing photos of us which, to be honest, were a little overpriced to purchase, but we had such a nice day and the photos were so good that we ended up buying them anyway. Our boat wasn’t fancy, but it was very comfortable for 5 adults plus the 3 crew members and we felt very safe. I’d highly recommend this tour for any group that wants to do some excellent snorkeling with good company and a relaxing and fun lunch.

Best way to spend your money! - Guide and Captain were great. Very informative. Professional and focus on making sure your experience is wonderful. Great boat. Water, beers, juices and great ceviche made fresh with totopos.
They take their time let you be in the water as long as youd like. They look for the marine life to make sure you see it. Turtles, barracudas, stingrays, fishes, nurse sharks you name it. Worth every penny! Iran and Gustavo were great. Do it!

Snorkeling trip of a lifetime! - My husband and I had a fantastic snorkeling trip for our family of six! Our four kids ranged from ages 21, 17, 13 and 11. We had three from the snorkeling team on the boat with us. One drove the boat, another was our guide in the water and the other took amazing photos of us in the water and on the boat. They made a fresh and delicious lunch of ceviche, pico de gallo and cantaloupe with chips and beverages (water, juice and Mexican beer). First we sailed out two reef areas where the guide helped navigate us in the clear blue water to see colorful fish, sea turtles, lobster, small harmless reef shark, and more! Then we went to a third stop just off of El Cielo to see an abundance of starfish and free dive to the bottom for some great action photos. Finally, we went to El Cielo beach where we enjoyed our lunch and drinks in the white powdery sand and clear blue water while sting rays swam right past us! We purchased the photos/videos they took and it’s the best souvenir spent seeing our family’s adventure! The whole family was so happy with the trip. You will love your time as much as we did!!!

Repeat customer it was so fun! - We had a great time and the ceviche was delicious! We saw a shark, a sea turtle, tons of starfish and sting rays. We felt safe the whole time. Well worth the price, especially for our family to have a private boat. This is my second time doing this excursion in Cozumel. Highly recommend!

It was a good experience - Water was choppy that day. We saw 1 type of fish, 1 starfish and at the sandbar we saw sting rays. Staff was friendly and the freshly made guacamole and pico de gallo was delishes.

Terrific snorkeling outing by maybetours - Just returned from an unforgettable private snorkeling tour in Cozumel with Maybe Tours, and WOW—what an experience! Huge shoutout to Alex, Jonathan, and our talented cameraman Jose for making this adventure absolutely incredible! 🌊🐠
Our family of four spent nearly four hours exploring the breathtaking reefs, and we were blown away by the vibrant marine life and stunning corals. Alex and Jonathan were phenomenal guides—knowledgeable, patient, and fun. They made sure we felt safe and comfortable while showing us the hidden gems of Cozumel’s underwater world.
Jose captured the magic perfectly, so we can relive the adventure whenever we want. From colorful fish to amazing coral formations, this trip was everything we hoped for and more.
If you’re looking for a personalized, unforgettable snorkeling experience in Cozumel, Maybe Tours is the way to go. Highly recommend them for anyone seeking a day full of fun, discovery, and world-class hospitality! 🌴✨

Lobsters, turtles, fish and more - We had a terrific snorkeling experience! Jose, the captain and photographer were so nice and very professional. One of my friends was scared to snorkel, and they were so helpful and encouraging. They took us to 4 locations, each of which was unique and beautiful. We saw a big variety of marine life...it definitely exceeded our expectations. At the last stop they prepared fresh ceviche. It was delicious! They anchored a raft with juice, water, and beer so we could snack and enjoy a drink in the water. It was delightful. It was a highlight of our trip!

Great Day Snorkeling! - We loved having a private boat with ONLY our group on board. Guides were great, & lunch was delicious. There were LOTS of other boats on the water, so it was nice to have our own. We paid for the photographer & we’re very happy with the pics.
