Overview

This is a truly PRIVATE service, unique on its own.

From the very first moment you meet us, this entire experience belongs only to your group: your private speed boat, your captain, your own local snorkeling guide, and our full personal care from start to finish.
Everything is tailored around you.

We’ll explore Cozumel’s reefs at your own rhythm, visit El Cielo where you can admire the starfish in its crystal-clear shallow waters, and then stop at a natural ocean pool to enjoy fresh ceviche with ice-cold beers, with water and soft drinks always available during the excursion.

You may also choose to meet our private guide directly at the Playa del Carmen ferry pier, where we personally escort you all the way to Cozumel and back; a level of attention and continuity that no other operator offers.

(Private hotel pickup in Playa / Riviera Maya can also be arranged upon request.)

What's included

  • Fresh fish ceviche and mexican totopos
  • Use of Snorkelling equipment
  • Beer for the adults (18 years old and above), once at the lunch break
  • Soft drinks available on board at all time
  • Bottled water available on board at all time
  • Gratuities for crew are optional and appreciated as a kind gesture for their knowledge and service.

What to expect

When you meet our guide on Cozumel Island, get ready for an unforgettable PRIVATE adventure.
Step aboard your private speed boat at the main marina and prepare to explore two of Cozumel’s most iconic reefs, at your own pace and with your own group.
This is a private tour (minimum of 6 spots paid) and includes:
• Private speed boat
• Local snorkeling guide
• Full snorkeling equipment
• Water & soft drinks on board
• Fresh ceviche + beer served at the end of the experience

Your experienced guide will brief you and gear you up for snorkeling, and our captain will navigate the turquoise waters to discover beautiful corals and marine life.
Then, we’ll visit the famous El Cielo area, where crystal-clear shallow waters and bright white sand reveal countless starfish; one of the most stunning natural scenes in Cozumel.
After snorkeling, you’ll enjoy a fresh fish ceviche and totopos, accompanied by beer, soft drinks, or water.

Important: To protect the marine ecosystem, sunscreen is not permitted.

If bad weather forces the Port Captaincy to suspend access to El Cielo, we will ensure you still have a great experience by exploring alternative reefs on a safe area of the island.
