You get to customize your private snorkel excursion that best suits your time in Cozumel - 4, 5,6, or 8 hours. The 4-hour trip will only have enough time to visit and snorkel at two coral reefs, while the others will have time to visit 3 reefs for snorkeling. There is plenty of space and shade on the boat for your group to have fun! Your adventure starts just a short taxi ride from your cruise ship pier in Cozumel to a local marina where the captain and crew will be waiting for you.

The snorkeling stops will be at some of the best snorkel spots within Cozumel's Marine Park according to our knowledgeable local captain (all gear and guide provided including snorkel, mask, fins, and flotation device as well as an easy ladder to get in and out of the water). The crew will assist you with the gear and help everyone into the water for an amazing guided snorkel trip, pointing out some of the marine life along the way. Note that snorkeling is from the boat and you will not be able to touch the bottom - the depth is approximately 15 to 25 ft (4.5 to 7.6 meters). There is a comfortable snorkel boat ladder to enter and exit the water as you please.

Last but not least, you will head to the famous "El Cielo'' sandbar located in a protected area that is only accessible by water. El Cielo is known for the starfish that may be spotted on the white sandy sea bottom and it is the most famous place among tourists and locals alike. Once your captain sets the anchor, you are free to jump into the knee-deep, crystal-clear water.

Enjoy some music, snacks (fresh fruit and homemade freshly prepared guacamole with chips and the best ceviche!) as well as ice-cold drinks (bottled water, sodas, beers, Margaritas, Rum, and Tequila  ), wade ashore, and go for a stroll on the virgin beaches, snorkel the coral heads, or just relax....the boat is all yours.

At the end of the trip, the boat will take you back to the original meeting location where you will catch a taxi back to your Cozumel cruise ship pier or you can explore the island some more.
