The Cozumel Turtle Sanctuary Snorkel Tour

1.The Cozumel Turtle Sanctuary Snorkel Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,041 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $65Our pick

This four-hour Cozumel boat trip visits reef sites where you can snorkel for turtles and tropical fish, then the starfish area at El Cielo and the shallow sandbar at Cielito. Snorkel gear, snacks, soft drinks and two alcoholic drinks per adult are included. Wildlife is free-ranging, so turtle sightings are never guaranteed.

“Second time with this tour, I had to come back for more, and on Christmas Day! It was a beautiful day for a snorkel adventure with Frank and Gio, we saw many fish, stingrays, a large turtle and even a nurse shark! At the last stop enjoyed fresh snacks and beverages before a ride back to the dock listening to Spanish music. A lovely day, highly recommend.”
