All in all good - Team was very hard and we saw all the great animals. Diego, Jesus and Fernando were great and provided a good atmosphere. I also found it great that you were extremely respectful of the animals and were strictly careful not to touch them

Great day of snorkeling - My husband and I went on a snorkeling trip in Cozumel! We took the ferry over from Riviera Maya (part of the excursion package). We were extorted from the ferry to the boat to get taken to the snorkeling site. The instructors were all very friendly and kept everyone safe! While snorkeling we saw 3 rays, 3 turtles, 7 barracudas, a huge spiny lobster, and too many fish to count. We did get stung by a moon jelly but it didn’t hurt for long. We would definitely go again, so fun!

Great way to see the reefs near Cozumel - Very efficiently run and great tour guides. We saw giant lobsters, a nurse shark, a turtle and stingrays as well as lots of bright fish which come very close. The high speed boat is great fun, but do be warned that it is a little tricky for those with low mobility

Fun and Professional Team! - Our trip was Sunday February 22, 2026. They were on time for the hotel pickup at the Hilton Cancun Mar Terible. Overall, a great experience. I honestly don't remember the names of my tour operators except Sebastian. From beginning to end, very well coordinated and timely. They know what they are doing and did it professionally. I appreciated that they addressed about every question on this experience. They were great guys, fun, funny, and knowledgeable. They took great effort to make sure we all stuck together and were safe. While in the water, they even would dive down (~20ft) to point out stuff and that was cool because that's not easy to do with a life preserver-belt on. It was cool to see stingrays, lobster, queen angel fish, a sea turtle and a shark while snorkeling. It was cool they played music on the ride out to the reefs, that helped amp up my experience. The lunch was okay. Thank you for bringing beer, that was unexpected! Loved it...i drink only water, coffee and beer so anything else is wasted on me...much appreciated them for this...I thought the website said "no beer provided." Only areas of improvement for them: 1. Lunch. So, on our trip there was a woman who requested vegetarian options and that seemed to screw up some of the other lunches. We all sat 2 to a bench and were given a bento box to share that had two small sandwiches and fresh fruit. I and my son shared a bento box but my spouse and other son got half a bento box. The woman who requested vegetarian got a whole bento box w/two sandwiches for herself but that shorted my wife and son. I surrendered half my sandwich for her and him and that was okay, but still not right. 2. Time management while at the snorkeling sites. First reef was about 20-30feet deep. The guides prepped us mentally, noting this was for stronger swimmers and the big orange life vest would not be allowed...we'd have to wear the less-buoyant belt. That was okay for me, but there were half a dozen folks too scared to do it after this dire warning - including my wife and both boys. We spent about 30 minutes here and then got in boat to go to where the starfish were....where we spent less than 10 minutes. My family was kinda disappointed to have so little time in the water. Had the first reef been shallower or the "prep talk" been more joyful and fun...maybe they'd have done better?? Honestly, it's up to each person's comfort level and I loved it, they did not. 3. Pictures!? Sebastian was in the water taking pictures and ostensibly these were going to be shared and/or purchased...never saw anything about this...no clue where my pictures are or went to ...lol I would tour with them again for sure. Just remember the logistics that go into these trips/tours though...if it's 4 hours and the dock's 45 min one way, a 40+min ferry ride to cozumel, hotel pickups, 40+min boat ride to the reefs....you're not getting much time in the water big picture. Ensure you waste no time getting in the water and enjoying this. There were always people around and in the water with you, no worries on having an incident. Sorry, my wife took the pictures with her smartphone and uses that crappy .HEIC format and I don't have 40 extra min to convert each one.

Too short - Everything about the trip was great ie people, food, guides, boat rides etc except snorkelling part was way too short. Picked up at 5:45 am and returned by 4 pm so 10 hours but only got just over 1 hour of snorkelling time and 1 hour of eating time. Not worth it. Stopped for 15 min at 1 spot, 20 min at second spot and 35 min at 3rd spot. It advertised it as 4 hours plus ferry and transportation and the air Transat guide said we would get 3 hours of snorkelling but that did not happen. It was very disappointing.
