A small-group mini-sub underwater ride in Cozumel. Breathe normally, steer an underwater scooter, and feed tropical fish.

“The instructor was great. I almost passed out getting into the bubble. I think I became claustrophobic. However my diver helped me relax and the show went on. It was pretty cool. I said no to taking pictures in the beginning but ended up wanting pictures in the end, however it was too late. I just wish they took pictures of everyone regardless, but I had a great time. Thanks for making me feel comfortable guys..”

Private guided transport for Cozumel cruise passengers, with air-conditioned pickup, your guide onboard, and flexible stops from 1 to 5 hours.

“We were picked up at the cruise terminal in a very clean van with bottles of ice water aboard. Our driver was courteous and helpful and actually advised us not to go to a lunch place I chose in advance. She was correct it really wasn’t for the kids. It was great if we were alone but not large enough for seating with a family. She chose a wonderful scenic beachfront restaurant with delicious tacos pizza and ceviche and shrimp that were luscious. Prices reasonable. At San Gervasio she got us a terrific guide and the ruins were well worth the trip. We would have picked our own place out…”

Cruise-friendly Cozumel beach day at Playa Mia Grand Beach Park with Floating Adventure Park, snorkeling, and optional lunch and open bar.

“This was great for the kids. The time of year we went meant jellyfish in the ocean, hence the 4 star review (not anything against the company, they can’t control that!) because the kids quit swimming in the ocean quickly because of the stings. The inflatable obstacle course is awesome. The lunch food is meh. The pool was a good break from the jellyfish!”
