Beautiful snorkeling trip
Autumn_G

This trip was absolutely amazing they booked us up at the port on their boat and drove us to three amazing snorkeling places and they took us to the most white sandy beach or we are waist high in water and the gorgeous stingrays swim by us every five minutes it was absolutely amazing definitely recommend taking your family and friends on this amazing boat tour the staff was extremely friendly and helpful during the whole time and the captain made the absolute best guacamole on the island
Great Tour!

We had a great time on this Trip! The Guides were very attentive and friendly. We can recommend this Tour to anyone. The water is stunning and the snorkling spots were great too. At the End we stopped at a spot where the water is cristal clear and we got some delicious Guacamole an Chips. All in all we were very happy with this Snorkling Tour.
Fun but don’t expect any cool wildlife

It was a nice trip, but we saw maybe 25 fish in total and a few Starfish. No Turtles, Dolphins, no beautiful colorful rief. It was fun, just not at all what I had hoped for and expected

Nice team but poor visibility on that day

I am sure this tour must be wonderful on clear visibility, however since it has rained a lot in the past days the visibility was extremely poor. We saw a few starfishes and some grey fishes. After hearing how nice Cozumel is, this was quite a disappointement.
This is not the fault of the agency, clearly, but other travellers should be warned to check the conditions before booking.
It would be also probably be nice from the agency to warn customers when the conditions are poor. In this way they could rebook tours on another day.
Otherwise, the guide and the captain were extremely nice.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback and sharing it with us. We wish we had control over the weather but unfortunately we don't.
Cozumel is recognized but its beauty and abundant marine life worldwide, you can read our other reviews and customers are satisfied with their experience.
We truly hope weather was always sunny and water completely clear but we cant have control over that. Hopefully some day.
We appreciate your comment and will make sure to share them with our team.
Thank you.

It was nice seeing the star fish and stingrays. I wish the reef was more colorful. Very helpful guide and crew

Where are the reefs?
Paul_C
, Aug 2021
We were very disappointed with the first two reefs. The corals were way below average with almost no fish. We saw some Star Fish and sting rays at the 3rd "reef" (sandy bottom). The whole trip was waste of time for us. We didn't get anything out of it.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Dear Customer,
Thank you for submitting your feedback, we truly appreciatte your time and effort.
In regards to your comment, We apologize if you think our reefs and corals are below Average to what you are used to, regularly Palancar and Columbia reefs feature corals and variety of marine life.
The third stop is at El Cielo Sandbar the sanctuary of the starfish who connects to El Cielito Beach with shallow waters where stingrays pass by.
This tour has always been a great snorkeling trip for many, we apologize if it didn't fit your standards.
Thank you.
