Determining the superior snorkel tour becomes challenging as they all claim the same thing: "We take you to the best Cozumel Reefs." Selecting a tour always requires a significant investment of time, and we strongly advise conducting thorough research. Our guests always tell us that they did tons of research, and came to the conclusion that we were their #1 choice. For over 25 years, our family has devoted ourselves to ensuring that our guests have the most exceptional snorkeling experience in Cozumel, Mexico. Prepare to explore the finest reefs in Cozumel, including the renowned Palancar Reef and Colombia Reef. Additionally, discover the awe-inspiring beauty of "El Cielo Cozumel," a sandbar that holds the essence of "Sky/Heaven" in its name. Some refer to this enchanting place as Starfish Beach Cozumel or Cozumel Starfish Bay. If you have seen the captivating photos, the reason behind these names becomes apparent. If you haven't, we invite you to scroll down and immerse yourself in the visual splendor of El Cielo. This hidden gem is accessible solely by boat, enhancing its allure and adding to the sense of exclusivity. As the Official Snorkel & Cielo Tour provider, we take great pride in being recommended by Cozumel and Marine Park, two non-profit organizations devoted to the protection, cleanliness, and safety of the reefs and El Cielo. It is vital to ensure that your chosen tour operator possesses the necessary Marine Park permits. Unfortunately, most operators lack these permits and are thus prohibited from conducting snorkeling or diving activities in the Marine Park, which encompasses Palancar Reef, Colombia Reef, and El Cielo Sandbar. If you take one of these pirate tours, you run the risk of ruing your day so please be cautious purchasing tours from vendors with small stands or online sites without sufficient reviews. As they no longer provide permits. Furthermore, we are the sole licensed tour operator authorized to provide transportation to travelers, apart from taxis. This exclusive privilege allows us to help you save money by eliminating the need to negotiate transportation costs to the marina. At our establishment, we are dedicated to offering a comprehensive and unparalleled snorkeling adventure, ensuring that you have a memorable and fulfilling time exploring the wonders of Cozumel.
We are a small family tour operator in Cozumel that has been providing our famous Cozumel Snorkel adventure for over and have over 2,500 FIVE Star Reviews. Rated the #1 Snorkel tour operator in Cozumel for many years. What makes our snorkel tours unique, is the fact that we only provide small group tours for our guests, so we can provide a more personalized experience. We do accommodate for large groups of up to 50 and up, but we would never pack different groups together of that size. We like to put no more than 12 people in our snorkel boats that can fit 18 or more people. This allows for a more comfortable snorkel experience, and for our guests to get a more personalized experience with our professional snorkel guides. If you have more than 8 people in your group, you may ask for a private boat at no additional cost. We include the Marine Park fees & docking fees, and have no hidden costs. We are also the only snorkel tour operator who picks our guests up from the cruise piers, resorts and ferry (if your coming from Playa Del Carmen.) The reason is that our family has been in business for over 20 years, and registered for a guest transportation license a very long time ago, which no longer exists or available for other tour operators.
Many of our guests are repeat customers. We have made lots of friends over the years and plan on making many more. By remaining a small family Cozumel snorkel tour operator in Cozumel, we are able to offer lower prices and provide our guests with so much more. We try to make our guests as comfortable as possible so we pick you up from the Cozumel Cruise Piers, Hotel/Resort or Ferry. Our Cozumel snorkel guides all speak fluent English, and absolutely love what they do…who would’t? Our family goal is to make sure that we are the highlight of your vacation. Our Cozumel Mexico Snorkeling tours are perfect for all groups and sizes.
Since we only take a small group of people, we will be able to provide personal assistance to those who may need it, and who may not feel as confident in the water. So if you never went snorkeling or aren't’t a strong swimmer, don’t worry, our snorkel guides are specialized in helping you get in and out of the water, and assist you while your in. Our platform boat makes getting in and out of the water much easier than other boats in Cozumel.
We like to be flexible, and are always open for suggestions. If you went snorkeling in Cozumel before and have a particular reef you'd like to visit, we'll make sure to include it in your snorkel trip in Cozumel. We take our guests to the best reefs in Cozumel, which are Palancar Reef & Colombia Reef. Most snorkel tour operators do not take people snorkeling here because they are to far and their tours are only 2 hours or less. Our Cozumel Snorkel tour takes you out longer than most, giving you an opportunity to truly experience the spectacular sights of each Cozumel reef we explore. We take you to a reef in Cozumel that others don’t. We discovered a gorgeous snorkel location, which is a shallow reef that has lots of colorful sea fans, and will most likely get up close and personal with a sea turtle when snorkeling there.
After your breath-taking snorkel tour to the best Cozumel snorkeling spots, we like to take our guests to El Cielo Cozumel, which is a shallow area in the Caribbean about a half mile from the Cozumel shore, that has crystal clear water & white powdered sand that massages your feet every step you take in Cielo. It’s the perfect place to relax after snorkeling Cozumel. The water reaches your waist and is the perfect place to relax and have some refreshments & food. Enjoy the day at Starfish Beach Cozumel and have the time of your life after your exciting snorkeling in Cozumel.
We will prepare our famous guacamole right in front of you. You’ll have your choice of drinks from soda, beer (Corona, Sol etc) liquor (Tequila etc.) and iced cold water. There are no limit on how much you drink, and always make sure to have plenty of food and drinks on board. We have never ran out of beer and don’t plan on it. We also chop up some delicious fruit. If you have any specific requests for food or drinks, please feel free to let us know on our reservation page, under the additional comments. Let us know if you have a birthday or special event you would like to celebrate, and we'll make sure you have an amazing celebration with cake and anything else you would like to include during your snorkel tour in Cozumel.
Cozumel is the best destination to snorkel and dive so the possibilities of sea creatures to observe are endless. Our professional snorkel guides have been working with us for many years, and know the entire reef system perfectly, and know where to find specific sea creatures. We normally see sea turtles, as Cozumel has the best Eco system for them. If you have something specific you would like to see, feel free to ask and we will take you to where you will see one. We take you to the best places to snorkel in Cozumel. Al Cielo Cozumel bay (Starfish Cozumel) is the perfect place to get the true feeling of paradise during your visit.
One of the great things about providing small group snorkel tours, is that we are able to give our guests personal assistance if needed.
