Snorkeling Fun! - We had Such a great day in Cozumel, thanks to our guide Simon and boat captain Miguel! This was our first (and probably last) attempt at snorkeling. We weren't good at it At All, but they were so patient, and we got to experience so many cool things that I'm so glad we did it. All equipment was included, and we brought more with us than we needed. (Everything got placed in a safe, dry overhead area until the end anyway.) We visited four different spots, from deepest to shallowest. We got to see a turtle, a nurse shark, lots of fish, starfish, and - our favorite - friendly stingrays who put on quite a show in the crystal clear water of our last stop, while we enjoyed a snack and the beauty around us. My one regret is that we didn't wear long-sleeved swim shirts, because the reef-safe sunscreen seemed to do absolutely Nothing for my fair-skinned family. Water sandals highly recommended. Bring cash to tip your team, as well as for the restroom at the dock. Pro tip: Just pee in the ocean! :P Overall, we got to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico, both underwater and on the surface. Highly recommend!

Good for the price - Good snorkeling, good guys, ceviche was good, large sting rays seim right up to you on the last spot you stop, pretty cool! They are soft to the touch. A variety of fish, sharks (small ones) star fish, sting rays and sometimes turtles. Boat was smaller but adequate. Thank you cCaptain and Simon

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! - This trip was absolutely wonderful. The captain and tour lead were very kind and very knowledgeable. They always put our safety first and made sure everyone was okay at all times. We saw so much wildlife (turtles, nurse shark, sting rays, tons of fish, and so much more!!!) and when the water was very deep, the guide took out gopro to get better footage for us!! The water was warm and so clear. Getting a taxi to the marina and back from the marina to cruise port was seamless and stress free. It was $10 there and $10 back. There was a marina fee as well which was $11 per person. The snorkel gear and float provided was well kept and clean. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone i know and we built memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you!!

Very Fun Excursion! - It is a great tour, but getting in and out of the small boat is not easy. They could definitely use a better ladder.

Just okay - Guides were friendly and helpful but I wouldn’t choose this activity again. First of all, we did not go to a turtle sanctuary as advertised. Second, the amount of time spent in the small, uncomfortable speed boat was very high in proportion to the snorkeling time. Third, the snorkeling itself was poor and unexciting. And finally, it was a real hassle to get a taxi to and from the cruise port to the poorly marked store where we had to meet up.

Fun, but not the best. - Not the best. Had a hell of a time finding the place, because they didn't bother to tell us where to go, other than saying it was at the marina, which is clear across Cozumel from the ferry terminals. Luckily one of the people at the marina pointed us to the snorkel shop. Then we had to stop at a resort to pick up people and wasted an hour of our time, they rushed us through the snorkel only to have us stand in knee deep water so we could eat warm ceviche and look at sting rays swimming around. Overall we had fun snorkeling, but since most of our time was wasted it was not really worth it. I would not do it again with this company.
