★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 608 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $77Our pick

4-hour luxury catamaran snorkeling in Cozumel with turtle sanctuary, El Cielo starfish, ceviche, drinks, and sunset return.

“It was just ok. Hours on a boat for just a very short time at the snorkeling spots, which were very crowded with other boats and groups. I prefer to explore on my own rather than follow a guide. Didn’t even realize we had stopped at the best reef (Palancar) until after we were herded off, and totally missed out on seeing it. Did not see much of anything of note at all snorkeling-wise. The sand bar with the starfish was nice, and the last stop had beautiful water and sting rays like puppies. No turtles at the supposed turtle sanctuary. The staff wasn’t particularly friendly until the end when…”

You’re welcome with a glass of Prosecco, a cold towel, a gazebo with a keyed locker, a butler, 4 tickets for specialty drinks, unlimited soda, beer, tequila, lunch, and options to do either paddle boarding, snorkeling, or kayaking! Hands down this place is cleaner and more inviting than Mr. Sancho’s! In a few years when Kuza is fully developed it will cost more! So enjoy it while it is in its current development phase. Liza has only been open for 4 months.”

5.Jeep or Buggy Private VIP All inclusive

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $79

Cozumel Jeep or buggy VIP tour with Mayan rituals, tequila and chocolate tasting, Yucab Reef snorkeling, and a San Martín Beach lunch.

“Pros: Carlos was punctual, friendly and provided a thorough history of Cozumel. He was also super flexible trying to find a watch and cruise card holder. There was a newer model Jeep. We appreciatd the flexibility to skip tequila/chocolate/honey tasting but still witness the impressive Mayan Purification Ceremony. We had been in Cozumel a month prior and the Buggy Tour we took (different company) and can attest this is THE TOUR to take! Con: restaurant had slow service and our food was given to another table. This delay took away from our ability to go snorkeling. Provided we could skip the restaurant, we would book this excursion again.”

“Wir hatten am Vortag die Bootsfahrt gebucht und bezahlt und eine Bestätigung erhalten. Als wir am Treffpunkt ankamen, sagte uns der reiseveranstalter, dass unsere Buchung nicht dort angekommen ist und wir nicht aufs Boot können. Der Reiseveranstalter hat uns angeboten den vollen Preis zu zahlen und bei Viator nach einer Erstattung zu fragen. Eine angebliche Mitarbeiterin von Viator bestätigte die Ersattung und wir buchten (zum doppelten Preis) die Fahrt neu. Es hat leider keine Erstattung stattgefunden und die Mitarbeiterin meldet sich auch nicht mehr. Ich kann viator nicht empfehlen.”
