“We booked the jet ski rentals as a 2nd excursion in Cozumel!m but we should’ve just spent our day here! The ppl were so nice and helpful they had about 3 shops in the front ppl selling things they made, cigars, vapes ect! They had a pool and plenty of water inflatables out in the ocean for you to play on! They also have kayaking/paddle boarding! I didn’t see this beach club when looking for things to do so be sure to research “San Francisco beach club!””

4.Power Snorkel by Sea Scooter & Flavored Tequila tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $81

Meet at Monina Restaurant at 9:00 am for a safety briefing, then use a sea scooter to snorkel Cozumel’s Caribbean waters with a guide nearby. Afterward, hear a Mayan presentation, watch a dance, and sample homemade tequila, chocolate and salsa before a local meal. Groups are capped at four, and guides such as Adolfo and Memo have helped beginners feel at ease.

“Aldolpho was amazing. He made the excursion memorable and definitely in my top three of all time. He was patient and physically made sure that we didn't slip on any rocks getting in or out of our snorkeling area. He showed us how to use the sea scooter and kept a close eye on us for safety. Along the way. He pointed out fish and starfish. I swam through school's of fish 🐟 and meandered through the beach waters. Lunch was delicious. Too much fun for two oldies. If we can do this adventure (with Aldolpho's help), then so can you!”
