“Can’t say enough good things about this trip! My wife and I took the ferry from Playa to come over to Cozumel for the day. The whole crew on the catamaran was very welcoming and a ton of fun.

Review of Cozumel’s 4-hour snorkeling tour to El Cielo, Palancar, and Columbia reefs, with gear, drinks, guides, and practical tips.
“What started with a large amount of trepidation ended in a wonderful experience. The first point to recognise is that the marina is located away from the cruise terminal. It's about a 5 minute taxi ride at a cost of $9-00USD (could likely be a tourist price). We were extremely nervous on arrival at the marina - it looks somewhat run down. The boat also looked as though it had seen better days. So - that was the worrying part. However, once on board everything was wonderful. It's about 20 minutes to the most southerly reef we visited.

“Although some of the experience could not have been predicted— very choppy water, some things that were advertised as part of the tour were not included. The boat did not have a glass bottom and we were not offered fins We were asked if we wanted life jackets. The captain of our boat was switched out- apparently at his request before we left the harbor, which was strange… why wait until everyone got on the boat? As soon as we reached our first destination and the engine was turned off, the boat rocked violently. I was actively motion sickness. I figured I would feel better in the water— but it…”

“The crew was nice. The experience was fun. I did not give a 4 or 5 because the equipment needed to be improved. Many people complained about broken equipment. My wife’s snorkel didn’t work well, so I gave her mine. They did not have any extra to cover issues like this.”
Enjoy a seven-hour VIP beach day at Cozumel’s Playa Palancar with Mexican food, seafood, cocktails, snorkeling, and kayaks.
“Our person to assist us while here was Johnny. Very attentive. Water was very clear, but the VIP side beach walk in was rocky, so be sure you bring water shoes. The snorkeling was fantastic. If you need a taxi at the end of your day, ask your attendant to get on for you. Food menu selection was great and the drink menu expansive. Be sure to bring a towel. We had a great time!”
