All Around Great Day! - This was a great trip. Seniors who wanted to snorkel Cozumel but didn’t want to hassle getting there on own from Cancun. This tour so well organized and great value for all that was included. Small van pickup in Cancun and our van of 10 met up with another van load in Playa del Carmen for remainder of day’s activities, then returned Cancun with original group. There were two different guides- one that coordinated all land activities and another for water. Both were not only attentive but went above and beyond to ensure a friendly fun experience. Happened that we were English speaking minority of 3 in total group of about 20 but efforts were continually made to make sure we were included in every way- put with English speaking drivers, captain & guides & even waiter in restaurant where included delicious late lunch was served. Cozumel water guide was awesome! Small boat with about 10 of us. We did own thing, not having to stay with the other boat so that made the snorkeling more enjoyable. Guide was great in the water, keeping group safe and ensuring we saw lots of fish. Unique stop at Starfish bed was amazing and appreciated unexpected bonus last stop of day where we anchored in a beautiful lagoon of sorts to just jump into the beautiful blue sea and share variety of drinks and fruit provided after snorkel portion of day. Been on many snorkel excursions worldwide and this rates high for overall satisfying experience. Small van pickup from Cancun 7 am and returned after 9 pm. Hotel dining was closed when got back, so plan any meds and snacks you may need accordingly. Can’t wait to go again!

Save your money and skip this tour - For the price per person I paid for this tour, I was definitely expecting a better day. To sum it up, there is nothing in the Cozumel reef that you can't see in Cancun. Other than beautiful water, there wasn't much to see, so save your money and time. The "beach club" is not a club, rather a tiny restaurant with sand on the floor. It has no beach access (there is a dock on the water), no showers or changing rooms or ocean breeze. We just got food. The boat we were on was called the Fernanda. If they assign you this boat, run! It could not go faster than 10mph and it took us a full hour to get to the reef. The seats were not padded, the shade was limited due to the tour company combining us with 2 other groups and the masks/snorkel gear was pretty ghetto. They wouldn't let us put on sunscreen even though it was reef safe because they said that was supposed to be put on when we were on land. THEN TELL US THAT WHILE WE ARE ON LAND! The boat ride back from the reef was awful! It was so hot, so slow and so long and it was discouraging seeing every other boat fly by us! A woman on our boat about passed out from the heat and sea sickness. Plus they will charge you 1500 pesos for pictures, which are super deceiving. The photographer was feeding the fish so they would be near her. Then the pics showed the fish between you and the camera, which is hilarious because they were basically the only fish we saw all day. We did see a couple of parrot fish and a ray on the sand bar, but that was it. We wanted to go back to Cancun early, but since the tour company pre-purchases the ferry ticket for a certain time, and arranges our taxi back to the hotel, we would have had to shell out several hundred dollars more (we had a group of 6) in order to make that happen. So we made the best of the afternoon and tried to find a way to cool off in town. FYI, we didn't get back to our hotel until 9pm and the pick up was 7am. It was an incredibly long and discouraging day. In the future I would just arrange everything on my own, since there are so many snorkel companies to choose from. It would have been a better use of our time and money.
