Great experience. Oscar...
Great experience. Oscar was a great guide and took pictures/video of our group while we explored. We got to see numerous fish, sea turtles, sharks and stingrays. The ceviche and guacamole were fantastic. Would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Cozumel.

Snorkeling amazing but,,,,,
The tour itself, the snorkeling, the area we stopped was amazing and our group of four loved it. Why I only gave it three stars, is first of all put your sunscreen on before getting on board the boat as they tell you, you cannot put any sunscreen on and then get into the ocean water. So, of course we got sun burned. Also, even though it says all snorkeling equipment provided, it does not include fins , so bring your own fins. I think if they would acknowledge this prior to the excursion, it would be a lot better than letting you know at the last minute when you're on board.
Response from the operator: Amazing review Silvia ! Thank you so mucho for visiting us during your visit to Cozumel México, we enjoyed to serve you and to show you the natural wonders of Cozumel, we will take care of your comments, please come back soon Familia !

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.
How much does El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cozumel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Cozumel is not rushed.
Is El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 147 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cozumel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach?
+
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 El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach?
+
Around 51 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 Cozumel 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 Cozumel and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Boat + Food + Drinks + Beach 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 Cozumel 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 Cozumel?
+
On Outty we rank every Cozumel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jade Caverns and Mayan Village Cozumel ATV TOUR, 4 Hour Cozumel Turtle Sanctuary Experience on a Luxury Catamarán, Cozumel: Paradise Beach Club All-Inclusive Day Pass. 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 Cozumel?
+
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 Cozumel?
+
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.
