Wow ! What a great snorkeling Day at Cozumel

Mario_A

, Sep 2021

What a great and professional snorkeling activity. Transportation to and from was safe and easy. They picked us up by taxi at Hôtel Barracuda. Surprisingly we were the only 2 customers on the boat that can seat 40 people, which added to our very positive experience. The boat crew were amazing. Personal service was offered throughout the whole experience. We loved it. It was very affordable! Simply just a magnificent snorkeling Day on the turquoise waters of Cozumel Less

Best snorkeling ever, great friendly guides

We didn't know what to expect but had previously snorkeled in various places in Mexico. This time was great. Our family was the only group on the afternoon trip. We had a short taxi ride to the marina. The first site was within sight of the cruise ship. Our guide took us to the coral reef and we encountered schools of fish. My teenagers throughly enjoyed the excursion. Please use these local operators who are trying to build back their business.

We had an amazing guide, Julian, who showed us nice places and explained us a lot of things about the reefs in Cozumel. He picked us in front of the barracuda Hotel up because the departure was to far away from our Hostel. They also drove us back and it was all included in the price.

Loved our trip. We were lucky enough to be the only passengers booked for our time slot. Manta and Charlie took great care of us and Adrian took fantastic pics. Snorkeling on the reefs was amazing, as well as all the info Manta provided about the reefs and the conservation efforts around it. We were able to see barracuda, a baby shark, and lots of different types of fish. Snorkeling and being able to see a sunken aeroplane was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend the excursion, you won't be disappointed. Also extremely affordable.

We had a blast with Braulio!

This was a truly awesome experience. Alturo was great to work with, he got my husband and I a taxi to the marina and explained how everything would pan out and even met us at the beach club we were dropped off at for free lunch. The guide in the boat, Braulio was also amazing. He guides you in the water the whole way (there are 3 different reefs) and points out all the cool things to look at. These guys don’t work for a big resort, they freelance and they really go above and beyond to make you sure you have a great time. We absolutely loved it!!
