About this experience
This tour gives you the opportunity to join us from our meeting point in Playa del Carmen where our guides will wait for you and will be in charge of boarding the ferry without lines and taking you to the dock where the Catamaran departs. This tour stands out for the fact that you sail on a catamaran to the reefs to snorkel, allowing you to enjoy the incredible blue tones of the Cozumel Sea. We take you snorkeling to 4 places including the reefs of Palancar, Colombia in addition to Cielo and the Honey. The most impressive reefs on Isla de las Golondrinas.

False advertising
Do yourself a huge favour and do not book this tour! It does not exist. There is no open bar, you only go to half of the destinations and there’s no lunch included. You do not go to a beach club, they take you to a water park that’s for families and small children. For one of the stops they just drop you off in shallow water and leave to just hangout with no drinks or anything for 30 minutes. The boat is also not a catamaran, it’s more like a ferry. You’re better off booking something when you get to Playa del Carmen or take the ferry to Cozumel and book something there. When we addressed our concerns to the boss of this organization (Playa Mia) he informed us that this tour has not existed in over 3 years and he is not sure why it’s still being advertised. Viator also did not help even after they’ve been informed of the miscommunication between their advertising and the service provided for this excursion such as videos of the boss saying it didn’t exist and other documentation. Save your money and time.

Not as advertised
For this price it was disappointing that the day wasn’t quite as advertised. First, it is not a full day on the boat as it says in the description. You don’t leave playa del Carmen until 0900 and arrive to Cozumel around 10. We were on the boat from 1030-1500. Snorkeling with that many people all in one spot while it was windy was dangerous. Many of them did not swim well or even know how to snorkel and they were pulling on the guide and flipped his orange ring with the flag over. We were told we couldn’t venture from the guide but being in that group was dangerous and the guide was stuck in one spot due to the people who weren’t strong. The second spot wasn’t as advertised as we stopped further out from the sandy area so we only saw about 5 starfish and again people were hanging on the guide. We chose not to get out at the third spot. We then went to lunch which was advertised as a Buffet but it was not a buffet they were serving plates and it was very unorganized some people were already done eating but the table next us hadn’t even gotten drinks yet. We actually left without finishing the meal because it was not good. I think the day would have been fine if they charged less and advertised better. The best part of the day was the staff they were great and extremely helpful and Ricardo made sure to translate important information to us which we appreciated.
Response from the operator: Dear Nikki Reinarts First of all, we want to thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations, and we understand the concerns you’ve raised. We are taking your feedback very seriously to improve the experiences we offer.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included cost?
+
Prices start at $185 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included?
+
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 Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included?
+
Around 17 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Cozumel by Catamaran with Snorkeling and Lunch included 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?
+
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 Cancun?
+
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.
