Snorkeling that wont disappoint and good people who are instant family!! - I took my family of 5 and we had an incredible time with Cozumel Snorkel Tours on "The Intrepid". All the staff were experienced and caring. We were family from the minute we stepped on the boat. I booked on the Viator website and there must have been some cross wires with the information I needed, because I didn't know ahead of time exactly what company I was booking with, where exactly to meet and that I needed to be there 30 minutes early than my booking time. Thankfully, they called me on my cell and waited for my family to get on before they left. I was very grateful. The tour itself had incredible wildlife and reefs. We saw barracuda, turtles and starfish. The lunch in cielito was 5 star ceviche, fruit and drinks. They did not spare any details in making us feel well taken care of. Cielito is a piece of heaven on earth, where you dont ever want to leave, and they gave us plenty of time there. The captain of the boat is an outstanding navigator of the water. I've never felt more safe on a boat. The cameraman in the water took FABULOUS photos and the cost of the full package was more than reasonable. The tour guide was helpful in and out of the water with anything we needed. I cant say enough good about the tour and the incredible experience it was!

Such an amazing day in Cozumel! - Would highly recommend! The crew was so organized and professional. We had an absolute blast on the tour and got to see so many awesome things! We finally saw our first turtle after visiting Cozumel for years! The food was amazing at the sandbar too. A must do if you are visiting the island.

Wonderful way to enjoy Cozumel! - What a wonderful day with Jorge and Enrique! We were a family group of 7 and had the boat and guides to ourselves!! They were excellent taking us to snorkel at a reef and then at other locations, we snorkeled and saw lots of starfish and a sea turtle eating grass. At the sandbar we swam with sting rays that even swam between my legs! The water was beautiful and the sun was shining!! They served us fresh pineapple, guacamole and ceviche on a floating “table”! We loved everything about our day and would highly recommend this tour! They delivered everything they promised and more!!

Wonderful snorkeling trip in Cozumel! - Lalo, Alexa, and the captain were amazing hosts and guides. They ensured everyone on our boat of different capabilities were well cared for. We saw so many things - cowfish, turtle, trigger fish, snappers, nurse shark, rays, barracuda, stonefish, etc. They made delicious ceviche and fruit for us on the beach. Great afternoon in Cozumel. Would highly recommend.

Great excursion, better than a previous outfitter we used! - This snorkel excursion was great. Super easy to find team member at meeting place. Upgraded to a catamaran that had 17 guests + 4 crew members. Was plenty of space + bathroom + very comfortable. They supplied the masks, snorkel, fins and a large dose of humor and fun! Went to three different sites and saw turtles, barracuda, tons of big starfish. Ended at a nice sandbar and had delicious ceviche and alcoholic (and non alcoholic) drinks. I was worried a four hour excursion would be too long, but it was great. Our youngest child (5 years old) kept saying, "this is so much better than I ever thought it would be!"- it was a great trip. Thank you!

Overall it was a good... - Overall it was a good snorkeling experience and we loved that life vests were optional. We got to see a Turtle in this tour. The corral and reef was not better than the one at Akumal thought. The staff on the boat were all great.

Really pretty! - The sights were beautiful! The boat that others received were first class! Ours was a jalopy at best!! But we didn't let that take away from our beautiful experience! Yet I didn't like how the guide suggested a price of $80 for the pictures to a group of 2 and then suggested a price of $150 to our group of 10. We all still got the same amount of pictures (10 digital images) so the price shouldn't increase just because we had more people in our photos. That was a bit over the top to me!

Scammed - The destinations and water were really nice. We only saw and swam around one turtle at one of the spots. The staff on board were nice, not as lively as some snorkeling excursions I had been on. Fair warning because they wont warn you, THERE ARE LOTS OF JELLYFISH. We were stung so many times and same with the other passengers. It put a pretty big damper on the snorkeling as all the spots had them, they are small, but some of them hurt like heck. I got my first sting the first minute I entered the water and then was surrounded by about 10 of them. They should really warn people about them! One kid was stung pretty bad on his leg who I felt really bad for. We asked them about the jellyfish and they said, yes they still feel their stings and it hurts, but they consider them as mosquitos now. Also, they had a photographer that was on board and he scammed us. We paid $30 for the photos and he never sent them! DO NOT PURCHASE THEM. I've contacted the company about him not sending the photos or videos and they said they would get him to, but its been 2 weeks and still no photos and the company has stopped responding to me.
