“Absolutely wonderful experience. We are now ruined for other excursions. This was an extraordinary day we will never forget. I cannot say enough about our crew, Captain David Ali, Victor & Eric went above & beyond all of our expectations. Our ages ranged from 13 to 79. The boat is beautiful & comfortable. The views were amazing. We saw every shade of blue in the water. They made us all feel safe and calm during snorkeling even though we had newbies and some choppy water. We swam with fish all around us, saw sea turtles, starfish, stingrays and even a baby shark in a cave.The drinks were great and the…”
Spend about two hours cruising from El Cid La Ceiba to Villa Blanca Wall and shallow and deep Paraiso Reef. A bilingual guide leads three snorkeling stops, with equipment, water, soft drinks, and a post-swim beer included. Small groups, patient guides, and close-to-shore reefs make it a good first snorkeling trip.
“This was easy to book. I had several emails with details and instructions. I was met with a friendly guide immediately telling us what to do and where to be. The family owned business was well-run, kind, efficient, and we enjoyed the snorkeling. We had ages 10 years old to 76 years old. Everyone enjoyed the excursion. A few people stayed on the boat and were entertained and saw through the glass bottom. The boat was older but did its job well. 10-57 year olds snorkeled with ease, some for the first time. Excellent.”
Take a four-hour private boat from Tortugas Snorkel Center to Cozumel’s Chankanaab and Paradise reefs. Guides such as Carlos, Miguel, Omar, and Manny lead the snorkeling, serve ceviche, fruit, beer, and margaritas, then finish at a quiet beach. Strong winds may send you to alternate sites.

“My wife, 10yr old daughter, & I had an amazing time on this tour and would highly recommend to our friends & family. The crew was great! Jonathan our guide was great at explaining everything, patient, & very attentive. Carlos, the photographer, captured amazing photos & was also very helpful in the water. Pedro, our captain was great navigating the catamaran & Israel was helpful at getting us back on the boat. The ceviche at the sandbar was the perfect snack and coming back to The Money Bar to a full restaurant, bar, outdoor showers, and bathrooms was nice. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend!! We only had a few hours to enjoy Cozumel so we booked this tour, for the price it is I can’t believe the experience we received! The guys were amazing super friendly and knowledgeable. We went snorkelling in 3 different spots and its was amazing. Perfect amount of time in the water and a great experience”
