Mexico · COZUMEL REEF TRIPS
23 tours
Cozumel sits on the Mesoamerican Reef, and the drift over Palancar and Colombia is the reason people come. Snorkel against dive, how many reefs each visits, whether a beach club and lunch are in the price, and which work as a cruise shore excursion. 15 of them.
Spend an 8-hour Cozumel beach-club day with lounge chairs, heated pool time, lunch, and an open bar for domestic drinks for about $81.
“This was the perfect day at Cozumel! The staff was exceptional. The food and drinks were great and they were sure to keep them coming. The weather was a little breezy and the pool was very nice, it was heated and warm.”
ATV 4x4 plus shore snorkeling, lunch, and an eight-sample tequila tasting in Cozumel, with pickup and small-group pacing.
“Firstly Ernesto, our guide was absolutely amazing! He was super helpful and knowledgeable and kept us perfectly on schedule. We arrived with enough time for the ship’s departure and as soon as we started the tour he assured me that we’d be perfect on schedule. The tequila tasting was super interesting and fun and the ATVs were great and exciting. We were also welcomed with a complimentary Paloma. The beach resort was a little under whelming but the food was good there.”

Snorkel with green turtles, float El Cielo starfish sands, then relax at Cielito with ceviche, drinks, and sunset sailing in Cozumel.
“Not a turtle sanctuary! We didn’t see any turtles but a great snorkeling experience. We loved the dock pickup option. Times are loose guidelines but they provided text communications when they were close. We had a 9 month old baby with us so they were great for allowing us to bring her with us and very nice about her joining us on the boat. Very nice staff and all in a great experience! Photos available for purchase and the docking fee and the marine fee mean lots of expenses outside of the original price. We saw a nurse shark and the video of it was very cool!”
Ride a real submarine to 100 feet over Cozumel’s Chankanaab Reef, spot tropical fish and a shipwreck, plus a digital dive certificate.
“Great experience. Didn’t get to see to much but you can’t control that. The bottom of the ocean at 106 feet was so cool to see.”

“This was one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had. We felt like VIPs with this private tour and it was sooo worth it! No waiting for other people, or crowded tour, and a personalized experience based on our interests. Our guide, Alejandra was absolutely amazing and gave us the very best Cozumel experience. Our snorkel master and waiters at the beach cub were also phenomenal. We may only book private excursions moving forward if they are anything like this experience. Thank you for making our trip so amazing Alejandra! 🥰”

Cozumel Chef Food Tour: five local tastings, market spices, and a bakery finish, with drinks and air-conditioned transport. 3 hours.
“We were met by Hernando (Jerry) for an amazing afternoon or authentic Mexican food. We visited 4 local restaurants where the locals live, shop, & eat. We learned about and were treated to carnitas, fresh cerviche and fried fish, Lima chicken soup, Conche, shrimp, & octopus tacos. Some of the best food we’ve had in Mexico. We also stopped at a local market. Fresh fruit, nuts, vegetables, & meat. In addition to other local items. Lastly treated to a local bakery where they bake in a wood oven. Highly recommend that you take the time to learn about the food & culture that’s off the beaten path.”
A 4-hour luxury catamaran snorkeling trip in Cozumel with turtle sanctuary swims, El Cielo starfish sands, snacks, drinks, and sunset views.
“We arrived at the check-in early. Once our full group was there, we proceeded down to the dock. We were told that we had about a 10 minute wait before the catamaran would show up. It was roughly a half an hour before it showed up and they had us lineup to get on the boat. After a few minutes, they asked us all to sit back down because there was a problem with the motor. The gentleman drove away in the boat and we were told a “faster boat” would come and take us to the turtle sanctuary. Once again we were told it would be a 10 minute…”
Private Lagoon 39 catamaran in Cozumel with snorkeling, paddleboard, top-shelf drinks, and lunch, for up to 15 people in 5 hours.
“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…”
Two-hour Cozumel snorkeling by glass-bottom boat with a guide, three reef stops, gear, drinks and beer, plus easy near-shore swims.
“Very thoughtful tour. One of my kids is not a great swimmer and they accommodated by giving her a life saver to hold onto while the guide towed her! We saw lots of different fish and a few rays. Make sure you apply sunscreen 30 minutes before the tour or it’s prohibited to protect the reef.”
