Bathing fun on Cozumel
Nice, well organized 290€ all inclusive bath and snorkel trip to the island of Cozumel. There is nothing to see when snorkeling, so more bathing fun. In the morning, each participant gets a breakfast package with a delicious sandwich, sweet rice waffle, apple and juice. There is 2 water, 2 beers, 2 soft drinks and 2 tequila per person on the boat. There is also fresh and deliciously prepared ceviche made from fresh fish, with guacamole and nachos with ripe pineapple as a snack. After the boat tour around the island of Cozumel, there is a delicious Mexican lunch in a cantina with a drink of your choice. In the end, you have 2 hours of free time in the city for shopping, photos..... We booked from Tulum and the tour went from 7:00 to 20:00 We were satisfied and recommend it to others😉👍🏻
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank, dass Sie dieses Abenteuer mit uns geteilt haben. Wir freuen uns auch über Ihren ausführlichen Bericht. Mexiko und die Riviera Maya haben noch viel mehr zu bieten, und wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.

Really great organization
Really great experience and organization. Of course a bit touristy, but honestly the guides Maui and George were so much fun and so nice, and we visited one deeper reef, one shallow place and one more where we got snacks and drinks in the water and there were lots of mantas. Definitely worth the money.
Response from the operator: The marine ecosystem at Cozumel is truly amazing, thank you for sharing this adventure with us We'll keep improving, we hope to see you again soon for the next adventura, Mexico has plenty more to offer!

Bel tour!!
We left Tulum and then went to playa del Carmen, took the ferry and then to Cozumel. On the boat we must have been about 20 people. The very nice guides, made us take the tour of the 3 barriers and then on the beach at Cielito where we saw the manta rays and we had an aperitif with an excellent and abundant steak of fish, guacamole and fruit, directly in the water. The only note is that you can not apply sunscreen, not even the sea-friendly one, which was not communicated before so we were not equipped to protect ourselves from the sun and we got burned. In my opinion we were also a little too little in the various reefs and the obligation of the life-vest did not allow to get close to the corals that in these locations are very deep, so even the fish you see them very far away. When we arrived in el cielito, despite there were manta rays we were not given the opportunity to take advantage of the masks to see them underwater, bring your masks and (if you want) fins that are not included. As a last note I would avoid loud music in a nature reserve, but this is my preference. In any case a lot of attention has been given to people who could not swim and underwater photos, so if you are interested in taking souvenir photos, they are very helpful. Lunch was plentiful and good and I especially enjoyed the two free hours in Cozumel. Recommended!
Response from the operator: Grazie per aver condiviso una recensione così dettagliata, apprezziamo i commenti e i consigli. La crema solare che hai usato era adatta al mare ma non alla barriera corallina, che può consentire solo creme solari biodegradabili al 100%. Il tempo trascorso in ogni barriera corallina non può aumentare poiché le normative federali non consentono una visita prolungata. Il giubbotto era un requisito federale, ai viaggiatori non è permesso nuotare senza.

It was fun besides the weather… Should’ve rescheduled
Our only complaint is, the weather was dreadful and we didn’t feel safe on their small boat with all of us packed together like sardines. It was very unsafe. Our “change of clothes” were completely soaked because there was no where safe to keep our bags. We had to finish the excursion soaked and cold. We wish they would’ve rescheduled the tour for the next day or even offered the day before. I also think the weather affected the snorkeling…. wish we saw turtles :( Tip: If expecting bad weather, reschedule!!! Our time would’ve been more enjoyable..
Response from the operator: If the port is still open that means that all boats are fine to sail with. The tour is advertised to be at a small motor boat We understand that the waves and the boat movements could be considered "scary" but it's completly safe as long as you follow the guides safety instructions We are glad that you got to enjoyed it even with the weather

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum cost?
+
Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.
Is Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cozumel Snorkel at El Cielo & 2 Reefs! Transportation from Tulum start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tulum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tulum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
