Beautiful starfish - The starfish were the highlight of my trip. We did have some confusing on where to meet when coming from a Cruise ship. Meeting location should have been verified on the phone the morning of the Excursion. Once on the boat we had a wonderful time. The gentleman were very helpful. The Ceviche was delicious. Enjoyed the fruit and margaritas in the water. Had lots of beautiful stingrays swimming by. Saw beautiful colored fish at the reef. I would recommend this Excursion.

Perfect snorkel with CREW OF 10 - We went with Captain Tito, Alexandra, Kings and Simon, we saw real wonders under the sea: stars, blankets, precious turtles and a swimming cat. They behaved great looking after the safety of all the crew at all times, comfortable and quiet trip. We had a great time, always a 🛟 handy in case anyone tired of swimming, always watching the group and showing us beautiful things (Simón showed us a sea spider), the photos and videos of Alejandra are spectacular. Really, we couldn't choose better. Spectacular appetizer with pineapple and guacamole with moles and any drink you want on board, which contains alcohol always after the snorkeling, so as not to have unnecessary scares. Professionals, responsible, attentive, close, you can see that they like what they do and do it with care and affection, we will repeat in the following trips here. People like that have made us fall in love with this island. Thank you millions ❤️🤗

Awesome experience - The first snorkle was in deep water over a coral reef. Lots of different fish. The second stop was more shallow and you get to see a lot of starfish. Third stop was super shallow, they served us some food (wish there was more because we ran out fast, and each person only got one drink). But sting rays were swimming everywhere and would come around to say hi to our group.

Snorkelling in paradise - The snorkelling was a fantastic experience swimming with turtles, manta rays and huge shoals of fish. Experience made better by Raul who made sure that we had a safe and enjoyable time.

Fantastic experience! - Great organisation. We had a really fun speedboat ride to three locations, Palancar, Columbia and El Celito and snorkeled with the fish, turtles and stingray. We had cerviche and beer on El Cielo sandbank and a fantastic speedboat ride back. Our guide was great and even took a brilliant photo of us in the water with a starfish below us. Thoroughly recommended!

Perfect balance of underworld beauty - We truly enjoyed that tour. Great balance of going to 3 entirely different snorkeling experiences nearby one another. We started with about 30 minutes of speed boating to the right area of the island. The wind and ocean feel was great in this very humid climate. Then we snorkelled in 3 different areas. Saw gorgeous fishes, and underwater wonders, underground varied zonas. We ended enjoying ceviche and drinks, socializing with our group mates in the water, in El Cielito waist level water with the company of friendly stingrays. The water was prestige and amazing blue and turquoise colors. Our guide José was so pleasant and a great diver always pointing out any interesting fish, starfish and local wonder. Perfect! Put LOTS of sunscreen. Totally recommended!

Cozumel Snorkle - We had a nice experience; however , since one in our party got very sick and could not attend the trip, we were told we would receive a refund. Unfortunately, that never happened. It was very disappointing since I have used Viator in Europe and Hawaii and have always been very pleased
