3.Cozumel Coral Reef Snorkeling by Glass Bottom Boat with Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 543 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $35Best value

Review of Cozumel’s $35 glass-bottom boat snorkeling tour, with three reefs, friendly guides, practical tips, fees, and honest drawbacks.

“Had a great time on three coast reef areas. It wasn't especially deep water, it was on-shore. However, my wife and my friends certainly loved that it was a simple and rewarding experience. We had an opportunity to buy photos taken while snorkeling, and we thought they turned out great - so we bought the group photos package (actually each of our families did). Some things to know: eat a big breakfast that morning, because you should plan to not have lunch. Make sure you apply sunscreen ahead of the experience, you won't be applying it on the boat. Plan to take a taxi from the port to the hotel…”

“This trip was fantastic! The crew handled everything wonderfully. The spots on the reef they brought us was breath taking. And Carlos was amazing with his gopro. The food and drink stop was a great break after all the swimming. The ceviche they made was some of the best ive had! (Watch the green salsa. So flaverful but hell of a kick!) And the drinks will flow! The few extra dollars spent on the pictures and videos he took are so worth it. Things to keep in mind: you can not use sunscreen! They state this before you even sign up. Put on some before you even show up nut…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 297 reviews · 1 hour 35 minutes (approx.) · from $39

See Cozumel’s reefs through a crystal-clear boat, with optional snorkeling, drinks, and a small group for $39 per person.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 276 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $95

Review of El Cielo Cozumel catamaran snorkeling, with reef stops, turtles, starfish, drinks, beach time, price, and practical tips.

“We had a good time, but I feel like this was marketed incorrectly. The description says unlimited drinks, but the drinks were offered until the very end of the excursion. Also, the fact that you can’t put on sunscreen was not shared, until after the boat left the dock. Three members of our party got terrible sun poisoning. Blistering, almost hospitalized. Horrible experience for them. Also, the beach club is rundown and nothing is included. And there’s not much of a beach.”

We enjoyed snorkeling, and driving Atvs. We didn't eat the food, but food and a drink is included in your tickets. Book this tour you will get your money's worth. And ask for Arturo! And please tip him!”

Cozumel’s five-hour tour combines muddy ATV trails, a clear boat, snorkeling, tequila tasting, lunch, and Playa Uvas beach time.

“My family chose this excursion because it's kind of a 6 in 1 experience if you're able to get the full experience. Pros: - Our guide Victor was really cool and down to earth and gave us an AWESOME ATV adventure. It was the most memorable part of the excursion. The terrain is the real deal and you will probably get a little muddy but we loved it! - The Tequila Tour was an extra plus. It was great learning about how Tequila is produced and we now have a greater respect for the process and AUTHENTIC Tequila. - The Clearboat experience was provided through a separate vendor and once…”

“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.”
