Private snorkeling cruise excision for large family of 11
We took a taxi from the cruise terminal with our group of 11 and it was easy to find the San Francisco beach club. Once there we were greeted by our guide Darwin and captain victor. Both were super friendly and helpful. Darwin went in the water with us at each spot to guide us and take photos and video. Victor made us a very delicious ceviche, guacamole and fruit platter. Still dreaming of this!! Highly recommend this excursion. All of us ages 12-90 enjoyed it.

Beautiful experience
Great attention from Juan and Oscar. Delicious ceviche, super cold beers. And great places that lead you to discover (swimming with manta rays and by chance we encountered a baby shark). You cannot miss it.

The tour to book!
Best day of our trip! We were a group of 6, including our 2 young kiddos (ages 2 & 4). The boat was comfortable and shaded, snorkeling was amazing - we saw turtles, nurse sharks, tons of beautiful fish, starfish, and finally sting rays swimming around us at the sand bar (Cielito) where we enjoyed fresh ceviche, guacamole, fruit and cold drinks. The guys were very friendly and accommodating, from pointing out sea creatures to helping lift kids back in the boat - they made sure we all had a great time. We were very happy that we booked this private boat instead of one of the larger group tours. Simply wonderful for families or a larger group. Gracias amigos!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Tour Big Group + Food Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.
How much does El Cielo Cozumel Snorkel Private Tour Big Group + Food Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $553 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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks 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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks?
+
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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks 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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks?
+
Around 7 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 Tour Big Group + Food Drinks 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, Buggy, Beach & Snorkel Blast, ATV 4×4+Cenote+Snorkeling+Beach Club+ Lunch+Sabores de Cozumel. 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.
