Cozumel · COZUMEL REEF SNORKELING TOURS
77 reviewed
Cozumel’s reef starts a few fin-kicks off the boat, and the trip you pick decides which of it you see. These are the best reef snorkeling tours on the island: which ones reach Palancar and Columbia, which drift with the current, what every seat costs, and which to book for a first time in the water.
ATV 4x4 trails, shore snorkeling at Coco’s Beach, and an 8-sample tequila seminar with lunch. Cruise transfers included.
“This is definitely a must do while in Cozumel! Our guide Tony was so knowledgeable and courteous. Julian, our tequila and tasting guide was amazing. I would experience this excursion again, even if just for the yummy pumpkin salsa.”

Private Jeep tour of Cozumel with Maya ruins, reef snorkeling, and lunch. Pickup included; some park tickets extra.
“I booked a jeep excursion for two. My guide was wonderful! We were suppose to see ruins, snorkeling, eco park, and the east coast of Cozumel. We only saw the east coast and a Tequila tasting (which we were not suppose to do). We didn’t do ANYTHING else that I signed up for. Our guide did her best, however. Granted, it did rain which was unusual, but we still could have seen the ruins, the east coast, and possibly snorkel. Our poor guide was given a jeep with the check engine light on the whole time. The windshield wipers only worked for a few seconds, so she had to keep…”

Private Jeep tour in Cozumel with Jade Caverns, cenote, scenic stops, Mexican lunch, and snorkel gear at Coco’s Beach Club.
“It was a great way to see many places on the island in a few hours. The Jade cenote was beautiful and we even took the plunge from the top. The snorkeling was also great . Water was beautiful with lots of fish. As always the only issue was never enough time. 😊. Our tour guide Toni was fantastic, made us feel safe, and also taught us a lot about the history of the area and the sites we were seeing. He skipped stuff we didn’t want to do and stopped extra places for us to get pictures. Would higher recommend this excursion. Especially with everything you get for the…”

Glass-clear invisible boat snorkeling in Cozumel. Reef stops, short trip, included gear and drinks, 15-person limit.
“Honestly, not a good experience. I feel bad because the guide was so nice, but we spent 30 min on the boat in idle while the guide took pictures of cringey tourists posing on the front of the boat. The snorkeling itself was bad - truly nothing to see in this beautiful water except for one type of fish. I will say the boat is really cool, and it’s pretty as you drive around! That said, it seems like there are way better places to snorkel in Cozumel based on pics from other tours.”
