Highlight of our time in Cozumel - We had a wonderful experience on this tour. The boat ride was about 25 minutes to the reef where we saw many fish, including rats and small sharks. The lunch in El Cielo was thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing as well. While we were standing, numerous rays swam by. It was a beautiful scene and the highlight of our time in Cozumel.

Great again - We booked this for the second year in a row for 50,60 and 70 year olds all in decent shape. Lalo and Alejandro took great care of us. We saw morays, nurse sharks, stingrays, turtles and even a hammerhead. We finished with a great feast of Excellent ceviche and guacamole with plenty of cold cervesas served in the ocean by, with all the other tours … one big beach party. Easy going fun guys and family friendly

Great private family tour! - So glad we booked this separately from our cruise offerings. We booked direct with Viator to have a private boat. The cost was great and the time with family and on the reefs was uninterrupted by throngs of cruisers. Great tour, great lunch, so nice to have this as a private family tour. The captain was great and the snorkel guide and deck hand was English speaking, friendly, and put us on great reefs.

A Perfect Afternoon - We had a really nice trip with Gustavo and Allen at Leon Tours They were genuinely friendly from the start. They let us choose the pace of our trip. How much snorkeling vs how much chilling. Toward the end of the trip we got hit with a pop up rain shower. They took us down the coast a few miles and got us back into the sun. Then we ENJOYED the beer, ceviche and guacamole. Allen crushed the snacks!!! They were really good and we just enjoyed them, in the shallow water. We saw rays, lobster, barracuda and a nurse shark. We were a mixed group from 18 to 72 years old and it was a perfect afternoon 😁

Turquoise Blue Caribbean - Simply a very nice tour, with a warm welcome at the old south harbor. Everything was relaxed and our very nice guide "Gustavo" guided us well while snorkeling in the turquoise blue water. The captain, Alberto, brought us safely back to our harbor. Highly recommended.
