The reef is a boat ride away, whether you want a catamaran out to El Cielo or a glass-bottom hull over the coral. These are the best boat trips off Cozumel: how long each stays out, what snorkel gear, lunch and drinks come with it, and which suit a calm day over a party one.

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.”

“A fabulous excursion with David and the crew. Weather was perfect, water was just right and the snorkeling couldn't have been better. Topped it off with great civeche and beverages. Couldn't have been more impressed. Great job to all and thank you for the highlight of our trip!! Jeff & Terri, Willis TX”
ATV mud rides plus boat snorkeling in Cozumel’s marine park, with a beach club lunch and 1-hour open bar.
“Our tour guide, Carlos was fantastic!! However, we paid for mud kicking and only rode in dirt for 10 minutes. We rode up the street to a cave and back. No mud at all! It was 14 people in my group and we would've never paid a large sum to ride for 10 minutes. This advertisement is very misleading. I will not be using this company again.”

Private boat Cozumel snorkeling to El Cielo starfish beach and top reefs, with gear, shade, beers, and fresh ceviche for up to 7.
“Our guides weee phenomenal! They took us to several reefs, making sure we had the opportunity to see as much marine life as possible. Our guide found starfish, nurse sharks, conchs, lobster, parrot fish, a green turtle and more. Our last stop at El Cielo was the most beautiful beach on the island by far. Enjoying the shallow water with a beer and fresh ceviche was icing on the cake. We would do this trip again and absolutely with the same captain and crew.”

“We showed up for our tour on our scheduled time, and no one was there. After calling a few times I got ahold of someone who couldn’t find our reservation, then we were told they canceled for the day due to weather, the tour itself was great the next day, but i was traveling with children and it was a big inconvenience to show up for a tour that was not happening.”
Private 3-hour snorkel by fast boat in Cozumel: Palancar, Colombia, El Cielo starfish, manta rays, plus snacks, drinks, and beach time.
“Beautiful snorkeling spots, attentive staff made for a memorable experience. David (dive master) and Gerry (captain and chef), guided us to three different snorkeling sites where we saw plenty of coral and fish, as well as fighting spiny lobsters, a nurse shark, and some barracuda. Then we went to a tranquil area populated with starfish of multiple varieties. Finally we swam at a sandbar where several large rays kept us company. The fresh fruit and guacamole were delicious too. I would highly recommend this experience.”
Snorkel Cozumel’s wrecks and starfish-filled El Cielo in a glass-bottom boat. Gear, snacks, Wi-Fi, and Bavarian beer options.
“This tour was good for what it ended up being but it was not the tour that was advertised. Be aware you will need to make your own way to/from meeting the boat for the tour. It is not a long way from where Carnival comes in but you will need to get a taxi to/from. The tour guides were both wonderful and very helpful with the snorkeling. The main downside was the tour was it was advertised as a shipwreck snorkel and glass bottom boat. The boat was glass bottom but only a small area and you could not see thru to the water. We snorkeled at two spots…”
