If you want a stunning vacation memory that will stay with you forever, then our PREMIUM El Cielo Snorkeling Tour is for YOU, because …

The Day You Visit This ‘Heaven On Earth’ Will Be Seared Into Your Memory Forever!

The Spanish name, ‘El Cielo’, translates into English as ‘Heaven on Earth’ and never was a location more aptly named.

Imagine snorkeling in the Most Beautiful part of Cozumel’s Marine Park - within a closely protected area - entry to which is Forbidden to Most Snorkelers …

Because of that, it absolutely teems with a rich variety of marine life - in stark contrast to the relatively barren reefs which most of the snorkeling tours have to settle for, with far fewer fish and other species.

But we are in a privileged elite as one of the very few licensed operators to fulfill the very strict ecological demands by operating ultra eco-friendly boats.

And thus are allowed to enter the restricted marine life rich protected area forming Cozumel’s underwater wonderland – The Marine Park - in our glass-bottomed boats.

Does that sound too good to be true?

That’s what Carol Bell from Lincoln, Nebraska thought – until she experienced our service …

Carol​ ​Bell

Lincoln, Nebraska

When I'm back on the island I'm booking again!"

When we arrived at our meeting point just across the street from our cruise pier we were welcomed as if we were family and immediately boarded the boat and the fun began right away.

We snorkeled two reefs to see amazing marine life and the grand finale was a place called El Cielo, the most beautiful place in the world.

When I'm back on the island I'll be booking again. Thanks Alberto and Pancho for a fabulous time.

The FAMOUS El Cielo, Palancar & Colombia Snorkeling Tour…

When you slip gently into the warm, crystal clear tropical water...

You’ll enter a different world of turquoise colored silence with the wonderful feeling of weightlessness – just as if you were flying. And, if this is your first time snorkeling in these protected waters, you’ll be stunned at the sheer volume and variety of the colorful tropical fish swimming among the impressive reefs of both hard and soft coral. We encourage this desirable state of affairs by feeding the fish!

The Most Spectacular Snorkeling Reefs in the area lie within the protected Cozumel Marine Park area .

But, because we are one of the very few businesses who have invested in the high quality glass-bottomed boats, with the latest environmentally friendly engines, to meet the very strict ecological requirements needed to preserve this marine wonderland, you will enjoy a spectacular trip of a lifetime with us.

YOU'll visit a total of 3 different Snorkeling Locations . Which – needless to say – are 3 of the most astonishing among a whole area of spectacular reefs .

The first of these is the aptly named ‘Palancar Gardens Reef’…

Palancar Garden Reef is an impressive reef that consists of many different life forms. Many people who want to learn how to snorkel land in this spot.

What makes this reef unique is the presence of very high coral systems that have many different living beings on them. As we already said, this is a picture that you will remember forever.

While you are underwater, you will notice the beautiful sea turtles. They are very common in Palancar Gardens Reef. Besides, you will probably have a chance to see some butterflyfish, angelfish, black groupers and even some green moray eels too.

Generally speaking, this is a shallow reef which is perfect for novice snorkelers.

Then you’ll visit the ‘Colombia Shallows Reef’…

It is tough to say which reef in Cozumel is the best, but some things make this reef ideal for snorkelers.

For starters, this reef is in an area that looks like a natural bay. As the name suggests, the water is not very deep, and the experience level needed for snorkeling in this area is beginner/novice.

When it comes to marine life, this area blesses with extraordinary life forms. For instance, hawksbill sea turtles, as well as the green sea turtle, are probably the first thing you will notice in the waters.

You'll also see moray eels, barracuda, octopuses, starfish, angelfish, grouper and other species of exotic fish.

This colorful reef will spice up your holiday in Cozumel. That's for sure.

Lastly - the highlight of the day - ‘El Cielo Beach’…

After you’ve had ample time to enjoy a breathtaking snorkel trip around both the Palancar Gardens Reef and the Colombia Shallow Reef, we travel the short distance to the sandbar of ‘El Cielo’ – ‘Heaven On Earth’ - for our beach party finale!

There you’ll be able to quickly understand why this magical spot is so aptly named as you drink in the magnificent beauty so readily visible in just four feet of beautiful turquoise, crystal clear water.

At the same time your mouth will be watering in anticipation of the feast to come as your guides prepare fresh guacamole for you to savor.

You'll enjoy an exceptional El Cielo Snorkeling excursion that is second to none - as many past customers will attest…

Sherry​ ​Carson

Groveland, Massachusetts

Ended the tour at El Cielo - White Sandy Beach, Blue Sky, Great Guacamole, Fruit, Beer and Drinks while listening to music"

Boat was there promptly to pick us up, smiles and good vibes from the crew that knows service is their game.

The ride to the first snorkeling reef was about 20 minutes there we saw turtles, a ray and barracudas.

The second spot was a shallow reef Alberto refers to as his "sacred garden" - kind a cute name for a place.

We ended the tour at "El Cielo" a white sand, sky blue beach where we had great guacamole, fruits, beer and drinks while listening to music, playing on the water and making acquaintances with the rest of the group.

Every day is a good day with Alberto!

You'll be escorted by fully Licensed & English Speaking Guides…

Every boat Captain and Snorkeling Guide (mostly my uncles and cousins) are Certified Snorkeling Guides and Speak excellent English , so your spectacular trip won’t be spoilt by having to struggle to understand what they are saying.

In fact, that is one risk you really cannot afford to take

Because – in situations like this, when safety must be paramount – it’s vital you immediately understand every word your crew says, without a second’s doubt or hesitation.

‘El Cielo Cozumel Tours’ is a family-owned business…

Hi … my name is Alberto Novelo and I and my close family have been providing snorkeling tours in Cozumel for well over 20 years .

During that time, we have delighted multiple thousands of snorkelers, many of whom return again and again and have become firm friends.

What’s more, because this is a family business – not staffed by disinterested employees – every single member of my family is dedicated to making your snorkeling trip a memory you will cherish.

Snorkeling or Not - You'll enjoy the ride on our Glass-Bottomed Boats with plenty of Shade, Seating & Drinks…

As part of our Premium Service our Boats are all Glass-Bottomed with ample shade and plenty of comfortable seating...

So if you can’t swim (or simply don’t want to get wet) you will still enjoy the glorious sights in the crystal clear tropical waters below the boat from the comfort of your seat, shaded from the sun, with a cold drink at your elbow.

And if you are planning on snorkeling, then, during the short trip to the reefs, our guide will demonstrate exactly how to use the snorkeling equipment and how to snorkel for maximum comfort and safety.

Absolutely no overcrowding – ever!

So determined are we to ensure you enjoy the best possible experience on this wonderful day, we strictly limit our 22 person capacity boats to a maximum of 12 passengers.

This means we can give each and every one of you the personal attention you deserve as our VIP guests, particularly if this is your first time swimming underwater.

We saw another boat with over 20 people and I was relieved to be on a trip that was more attentive and organized"

Alberto was a great guide, very positive, funny, energetic and a great diver. He pointed out stingrays, conches, sea cucumbers, starfish, and many types of colorful fish.

The water is gorgeous and the reefs are amazing.

Pancho was a skilled boat driver.

We saw another boat with over 20 people on the snorkel trip and I was relieved to be on a trip that was more attentive and organized.

Alberto also sent me pics from the trip since I did not bring an underwater camera. I recommend bringing an underwater camera since there is so much to see.

I wouldn't hesitate to book a trip with these guys again! Thank you! Highly recommended!

What’s more, if you are a party of 10 or more, you can get a…

FREE upgrade to a ‘Private Boat Tour For Your Group Only’

Because I’ll be delighted to give you a FREE upgrade to a totally private boat tour where you’ll enjoy all the facilities and comforts of our standard PREMIUM boats – with the added benefit that you won’t be sharing your boat with anyone else.

You can also choose to start your trip at your desired time rather than the regular start time of 9:30 am. or 10:30am

There is no extra charge for this – you simply have to select 10+ passengers when making your booking online. And you'll get the Private Tour automatically.

Client Satisfaction

What sets us apart from other El Cielo tours in Cozumel?

Four important things …

• We are a family run and staffed business - and thus so far more interested in making your day wonderful in a way no employee could ever manage.
• We are one of the elite few tour companies authorized to visit the most stunning reefs, which are located inside the protected area of the Cozumel Marine Park . That is Palancar Garden Reef, Colombia Shallow Reef, and the famous El Cielo sandbar.
• Although our boats are designed to safely transport 22 people, we set a limit of 12 passengers, so we can give every one of our VIP guests a five star service and they have ample room to relax on our comfortable seating, which is carefully shaded for your maximum comfort.
• We not only allow you to bring your infants, aged one and upwards, we also allow your children aged 3 and upwards to snorkel. They must all be supervised by one of your party at all time, however, a member of our crew will also be close at hand when under the water for extra safety.

You're in GOOD COMPANY WITH US

Nervous about snorkeling for the first time.

So was Christine Morgan and her party from Fairview, Illinois. Read what happened next …

Christine​ ​Morgan

Fairview, Illinois

First Time Snorkeling, so we were a bit nervous - But from the moment we stepped on Alberto's boat all apprehensions vanished"

As it was the first time we’d snorkeled, we were a bit nervous. But from the moment we stepped on his boat, all apprehensions subsided.

Such a caring, fun and upbeat crew to be with on his boat. Laughter was constant and drinks were plentiful! Alberto and his crew consistently ensured that we were comfortable, laughing and well taken care of.

Another crew member was constantly taking pictures so that we could solely enjoy the snorkeling experience.

El Cielo Tours was great in every way. Their website, their responsiveness, and especially the owner/guide Alberto, who was just outstanding.

Even if this is your First Time Snorkeling, YOU will enjoy an Extraordinary Adventure that few other excursions can match!

And if you are planning on snorkeling for the first time, our English speaking guide will demonstrate exactly how to use the snorkeling equipment and how to snorkel for maximum comfort and safety, during the short trip to the reefs.

Unlike many snorkeling companies operating out of Cozumel, we supply a brand new snorkel tube, free of charge, for your exclusive use.

So you can be confident that you – AND ONLY YOU – will have had this tube in your mouth. After your trip we carefully dispose of every tube in a totally eco-friendly way.

And that's Because we specialize in Families with Children & Beginner Snorkelers...

This was one friend's First Time Snorkeling, so Pancho stayed with her the whole time and made sure she was Safe"

I just want to say what a great time we had with Alberto and his crew.

The weather was fantastic and the water just as amazing as I remembered from last year.

This was one friend’s first time snorkeling, so Pancho stayed with her the whole time and made sure she was safe.

We saw a shark, ray and sea turtle among a lot of other beautiful fish.

At El Cielo the guacamole was delicious as were the Coronas. I totally recommend this if you like to snorkel and have a great time.

We literally just walked 50 yards to our meeting point where these guys were waiting us"

These guys definitely live up to the reviews on Trip Advisor.

We arrived in Cozumel and literally just walked 50 yards to our meeting point where these guys were waiting on us.

Pancho, and Alberto did a wonderful job as our guides. We saw sea turtles, many tropical fish and even a baby shark.

After snorkeling, we headed to the one of the most beautiful natural swimming pools on earth, El Cielo, for a pleasantly relaxing time with drinks and fresh guacamole dip made by Pancho and Alberto.

I will definitely recommend to family and friends a future excursion to Cozumel.

Thank you Pancho!

The PROGRAM

Here's what you can expect from this Awesome Excursion:

Meeting up for your Snorkeling Tour

You’ll find our Meeting Point at the Motor Lobby of El Cid La Ceiba Hotel, located next to the Cruise Ship Pier.

We have our Boats moored at the Pier of El Cid La Ceiba Hotel, conveniently located just steps from the Cruise Piers.

On our Way to the First Reef

Feel your excitement explode as the powerful eco-friendly engine revs up and we cast off to begin your adventure of a lifetime!

You hardly notice the short trip to the Marine Park because you’re absorbed in the crew’s demonstration of how to use the high-quality snorkeling equipment.

We visit a total of three spots.

Palancar Gardens Reef (the first stop)

Colombia shallows reef.

When it comes to marine life, this area is blessed with extraordinary life forms. For instance, hawksbill sea turtles, as well as the green sea turtle, are probably the first thing you will notice in the waters.

El Cielo Beach (Heaven on Earth as most travelers call it)

On our way back to the pier.

Can we really have packed so much excitement and lifetime memories in just four hours?

Relax on board between dives, with ample shade provided while you sip a cool soft drink, beer or water with our compliments, and excitedly swap experiences with your fellow divers.

All too soon, it’s time to head back to the pier.

Back at the Meeting Point

Once the Tour is over, we’ll go back to our original Meeting Location at the El Cid La Ceiba Hotel (next door to the Cruise Pier) the Place where we first met you in the morning.

From here you can walk back to your Cruise Ship, or take a Taxi back to your Hotel is you’re staying in Cozumel.

As a result, you’re probably already planning your next trip with us, like so many others before you, who return again and again.

TOUR PRICING

You get all this – and much more for just...

By booking Online directly with us, we are able to keep your fees down to rock bottom, while providing you with a true five-star experience.

• Cozumel Marine Park Conservation Fee is INCLUDED in the Price.
• All Fees & Taxes included. No surprises.

Immediately after your payment is processed you’ll receive a Confirmation Email with full directions to our meeting point , and all your Reservation details.

If you can’t print the Confirmation Email because you don’t have access to a printer, simply make a note of the directions and arrive at our meeting point with your passport or any other photo ID.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE

My Refund Policy has you covered:

• If there's bad weather on the day of your trip and the harbour master shuts down the port for small boats like mine. I will give you a FULL REFUND.
• If you are coming to Cozumel via Cruise Ship, and your Cruise gets re-routed off Cozumel for any reason. I will give you a FULL REFUND.
• No questions asked.

The CLOCK IS TICKING

As I’ve already mentioned, access to the fragile ecosystems that make up the protected Cozumel Marine Park is severely limited.

Despite this, the eco-friendly nature of our high end glass-bottomed boats, fully equipped with shading and comfortable seating for 22 qualify us to operate ONLY 3 boats.

However, despite being licensed to take 22 passengers, we restrict most parties to 12 so you enjoy maximum comfort and close personal attention at all times, particularly when snorkeling. It’s almost like a private charter.

So, between our 3 boats, we can take a total of 36 passengers.

And, because we are one of very few businesses able to provide the highest quality snorkeling experience and most of our clients come from the cruise ships, bringing in around 20,000 cruise visitors daily - we tend to get booked up lightening fast for every day of the week.

So you now have to come to a fast decision

You can either pause and take ages to ‘think about it’ only to come back later and be dismayed to see your choice of day has been taken.

That means, if you only have that one day for your trip, you’ll either have to forgo the trip entirely or have to settle for a second rate trip which will NOT include the marine life rich reefs of Palancar Gardens and Colombia Shallow Reefs plus the beach party on the beautiful ‘El Cielo’ sandbar.

Instead, you will have to make do with the relatively barren reefs that most tour companies visit which were not considered spectacular enough to be part of the ecology-rich Marine Park that we are licensed to visit.

What’s more, the general tourist area is not protected like the Marine Park, so there is a quite marked difference in the quality and quantity of the marine life.

And the chances are high you will be crammed onto a boat (that might not even have a glass bottom) with 20 or more other folks, severely limiting your enjoyment and perhaps you’ll struggle to understand your guide’s broken English.

You can make the smart move and decide right now which day you want to become the memory of a lifetime by booking our El Cielo Snorkeling Tour that visits the awesome Cozumel Marine Park with its spectacular marine life and finishes in a setting to die for – the aptly named ‘Heaven On Earth’.

Then, once you’ve made your booking, you’ll experience a wonderful feeling of calm, because you’ll know you’ve made the right choice.

So you can relax and look forward to that magical moment when you step onto our boat.

I and all my family are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to Cozumel and showing you our wonderful Marine Park first hand!

Alberto Novelo

El cielo cozumel snorkeling tour, the excursion summary.

• Yes, our Guides speak English.
• Your choice of 2 convenient start times: 9:30am; and 10:30am.

Why should the best be reserved for others & not you?

Haven’t you worked hard to afford this trip to Cozumel and so don’t you deserve the best that is on offer?

But, despite enjoying our fair share of the very limited licenses empowering us to enter the beautiful protected area of the Cozumel Marine Park, we often have difficulty coping with all the bookings from the 20,000 cruise passengers that arrive in Cozumel daily.

I’d bitterly regret it if – now you know what a wonderland the Marine Park is – your hesitation in booking means you are denied the full experience only a PREMIUM snorkeling service like ours can provide and you have to settle for second best.

So I strongly suggest you check the availability on your chosen day - RIGHT NOW – and then go ahead and book your seats before it's too late.

I’ll leave the last words to Michelle Johnson …

When you get back you want to go back out the next day!"

Alberto provides an excursion like few others. He takes care of the details so you enjoy a carefree day of snorkeling and basking in the clear blue waters off Cozumel.

So, if you are looking for relaxation and the chance to see things you only imagine or see on TV this is your guide.

Alberto makes it fun and when you get back you want to go back out the next day...with Alberto... Enjoy the trip. Can't tell you all we saw but we saw a lot including a nurse shark and sea turtles.

12 Best Cozumel Shore Excursions

Last updated on September 24th, 2023 at 09:41 pm

Cozumel Mexico is the most popular cruise destination in the Caribbean , with over 3 million visitors annually and a favorite among the major cruise lines.

Taking a shore excursion during your time here is definitely worth it, no matter the excursion you choose.

Cozumel itself is an island off the coast of Playa del Carmen Mexico, with 3 cruise ship ports.

The first and most popular cruise terminal in Cozumel is the International Pier, located about 3 miles from the downtown area of San Miguel. Filled with shops and restaurants, it’s a wonderful gateway to your visit to Cozumel.

The second pier is located in downtown San Miguel, which is the largest city on Cozumel island. The pier is directly across from shopping, restaurants, a Starbucks and is a popular spot to catch a taxi for a tour of the island.

The third cruise terminal on Cozumel, Puerta Maya, is used only by Carnival Cruise Lines. This exciting port is filled with over 50 shops and restaurants and is your gateway to your Cozumel shore excursion.

Cozumel in general is a safe island with most living on the island employed in the tourism industry. It’s far enough away from the mainland that anyone wanting to cause trouble with petty crime will not make the effort or expense to get over to Cozumel.

Touring around the island without a shore excursion or group tour is feasible and safe, unlike other destinations in Mexico, however, if you want to make the most of your visit to Cozumel, a shore excursion is suggested.

Below we have compiled a list of the 12 BEST COZUMEL SHORE EXCURSIONS , provided by the largest non-cruiseline shore excursions company, Shore Excursions Group .

We also take you to a secret location in Cozumel where you can snorkel in a shallow reef filled with vibrant sea fans and other colorful marine life. You may even have the chance to swim alongside a sea turtle! Our small group tours, led by certified guides, provide a personalized and comfortable experience for all guests.

After experiencing the best snorkeling spots in Cozumel, we like to treat our guests to a visit to El Cielo Cozumel. This shallow area in the Caribbean, located about a half mile from the Cozumel shore, boasts crystal-clear waters and soft white sand that feels like a massage with every step you take.

We provide transportation, and located next to the cruise piers where we use the dock there to pick up our guests. Marine park fees included. Make sure that the tour operator has Marine Park permits, because many do not and are pirates and are not allowed to snorkel/dive in the Marine Park, which includes Palancar Reef, Colombia Reef & El Cielo Sandbar. 80% of boats do not have these, so make sure they do. They no longer provide permits, and if you are on a boat that doesn't, it could ruin your day in Cozumel if they are stopped. So avoid purchasing tours from vendors outside cruise ship piers and ferry. 

With Cozumel being one of the best snorkeling and diving destinations, the opportunities to observe sea creatures are endless. Our team of professional snorkel guides have been working with us for many years and are highly experienced in navigating the reef system to find specific sea creatures. It's common for us to encounter sea turtles, as Cozumel has an excellent ecosystem for them. If you have any specific requests for sea creatures you'd like to see, feel free to ask and we will take you to the best location to spot them. Our Cozumel snorkeling tours take you to the most beautiful and exclusive locations, including the breathtaking El Cielo Cozumel bay (also known as Starfish Cozumel) where you can truly experience paradise during your visit.

My husband booked the snorkel excursion for me, my dad and himself. He put down a deposit of $54 dollars. The day before my kids got a really bad bacteria skin infection and couldn't go to the ships daycare. So my husband had to stay behind. We followed the instructions on where to go depending on where your boat docks. We were on royal Caribbean and they docked at a pier they don't usually dock at. This was due to the other dock was full. This company has our boat name information, they asked for it ahead of time. They could've asked the people working at the ports where our boat docked. So we docked at a different dock but in their print out instructions they tell you where to meet depending on your dock. So we go to the hooters they said to be at. We were there about 20 minutes early. When it was our tour time and no Carla we got a little worried. Then it was 30 minutes past our start of tour. We emailed them and tried to call, nothing. Thankfully the lady behind us happen to have Carla's personal number. So she called her. A guy showed up to pick us up about 15 minutes later. He informed us that the tour already. So he takes us to the dock and told us they have a shorter snorkeling tour that's $36 each. So I said ok since we already paid 54 it would be just $20 more. He said yes. So we said we'd do it since we didn't know what else to do and so much time passed. We got to the dock and Carla met us there. She was very very rude to us. She told us it was our fault we weren't at the dock we usually dock at. Somehow it's our fault we didn't dock at the normal spot. She didn't want to give out deposit because because we husband couldn't go. Said it's not her problem. She tried to get more money out of my dad and I. I couldn't believe she tried to blame us because we didn't dock at the normal spot. Even though we followed the instructions to where to go from our dock. The guy that drove us told Carla it was fine for us to just give $20 more. She was mad. Totally unprofessional lady. So rude and will just leave you and take your money. Our driver was very nice. I can't remember his name I think it started with a F. Our snorkel guide I believe Katie was very nice too. We also snorkel with a family that said they too weren't picked up at their hotel. They had to call and call to figure out what was going on. I know Carla is the lady in charge so this review is to her and her rude attitude and no apologies for not picking us up. Even though we did everything right and followed her instructions for the dock our boat went too.

I took the open bus tour and beach club bs with Raul. the bus ride was great, because you were able to see the other side of the island that is preserved. the Beach Club is a total bull shit. you get taken like a prisoner to this compound, where the waiter was rude, the food sucked, and was super expensive, and you are surrounded by people trying to sell stuff. shame on those people to peddle you off in such a manner. The tequila and show was fun, but here again you are being sold things non stop. I was pushed so hard ended up buying a necklace for 130 which after looking at it, a few more times do not think is worth much. I wonder how much Raul's family gets paid to bring tourists to this so called Beach Club, and the tequila place to be sold things. also, the beach was rough and you could not swim. there were much better beaches on that side of the island. so save your money.

We booked the snorkeling tour for 6 people we payed partial online and we were going to place the rest with card. The captain/ Carla harassed us and embarrassed us in front of everyone in the boat because because we had a card payment. Carla "the owner"is very rude arrogant and not understanding towards her Clients. Do not recommend this company worse experience ever we all felt so embarrassed because they made us feel like thief's and ruined out vacations. We were going to reserve two other excursion over $1,000 dollars with them but decided to booked with other companies instead do not Book with them all CARLA cares about is the money and not her customers .

Cozumel cruise excursions was a great experience! We arrived at the meeting location and the driver got there exactly on time. Once we made it out onto the boat, our tour guide Angel and the captain Jose were great! We made 4 stops to 3 different reefs (one of them twice) and had so much fun in the water! Plenty of drinks on board and they even served us fresh guacamole during a break. This is the way to go for your snorkeling experience in Cozumel! Great price too!

Snorkeling shot!

What a nightmare! Supposed to meet at 10:30am. Got to obscure meet up location 15 min early... no carla. TRIED CALLING # on email/invoice and it isnt a working #. Had a tour guide who knew her REAL # call her to say we were waiting. At 11 carla shows up to take everyones cash and says we showed up late. Nope! She gathered everyone up that was waiting on her. we Didn't go to the MARINA via van, we WALKED blocks to a random hotel lobby and boarded a crowded boat 22ppl ttl! 11:30 boat leaves.... 45 min into boat ride, STOPPED BY MARINA POLICE CARRYING AK47's and taking pics of everyone on board. No joke. Detained because our captain didnt hv correct papers! Only tiny btld waters on board while we waited. No alcohol or food (thats only after the snorkel trip is over ) Police boat Escorted us back to the marina we SHOULD hv departed from & we had to get off... no snorkeling and no time to go back out on another boat. Carla refunded $$ and asked us not to leave a bad review. Really? Offered to take us out for a quick snorkel outside marina if we wanted but no time to go to the good places. We declined and she tried to squeeze everyone into a tiny van. When we didnt fit, she put the rest of us in an employees car who dropped us at hotel we started at. Carla said they knew her there, she'd already paid for us and we could hang out at the all inclusive... we went into hotel and they said they did NOT know carla and we could NOT stay!!! Only giving 2 stars because of carlas kind apology and the quick refund. Day was a total bust!!

Could not have been a better excursion! ASK FOR ISRAEL! I hunted for a good deal and something different for my one day in Cozumel and the reviews for this company sold me as well as the variety of tours they offer! My sister and I both opted for private jeep tours and arriving in the rain! (ugh) in port was a bit worrisome- but no need! We were met by George and waited for our guide- Israel who met us with the jeep! George ended up being my sister and her families guide! There is a loop of the island with various stops so you get more done in the time allotted- about 5 1/2 hours. First stop was the Tequila tasting- which I honestly was not interested in- but Israel told me I couldn't come to Mexico and not try it! I was not the Tequila I know and hate- nope- completely different! Lower alcohol content and smoother! Why? Because apparently true Tequila is only made in one region of Mexico and from Blue Agave harvested at 10 years. And you can only get it in- you guessed it- Mexico. The crap we buy here in the states? Crap! lol. Next up- beach side on the Ocean side of the island- which has no electric and is tons of natural beach and wetlands! Across from the beach were a few shopping huts- tourist traps- but the lady who tracked us down on the beach to come shop- she got a sale! lol. Then it was back in the jeep and off to the Eco Beach- Lighthouse and Museum! Did I mention the cooler of beer and water for us to enjoy? This was about when we cracked into that! Now- unlike other jeep tours you can book through your cruise ship- this one is private. What I mean is- when you book through the ship- you are caravaning with you closest 10 jeeps full of people! And if you may even ride in the jeep with other vacationers! Such a caravan passed us while were were at the beach- and when we arrived at the entrance to the Eco Park- they were lined up waiting for their guides to get everyone their wrist bands- we cruised off to the other line and Israel already had our wrist bands on us! A few quick words and we were in! He joked that the other company didn't like him because he was always prepared and in faster than them! AKA- we beat the crowd to the lighthouse! We hiked to the top and enjoyed stunning views and then proceeded to the Maritime Museum where once again- Israel gave us some historic details and then left us to enjoy at our own pace! Then off to the Westside of the island for lunch and snorkeling! Again- Israel was on top on everything and called in our order so the food came out just minutes after we sat down! That's some serious service! After lunch we geared up and once again Israel was our snorkeling guide too! He does it all! This was my favorite part of the day! My sister- she made similar stops but at a few different vendors- so we passed them, but didn't bump into them! Added to the personal tour- while I would've enjoyed lunch with them- our beach club had the perk of snorkeling pictures! At the Tortugas beach club! My one tip- take plenty of cash for purchases and make sure to tip this amazing guide!

After pouring over reviews for things to do on our recent cruise we decided to take a jeep tour of Cozumel. It seemed like a good way to see a lot of the island and maybe do something a little different than a day at the beach. This way I could actually say I "visited" Cozumel. We made a reservation and set off on our cruise. As the best laid plans often go awry, our cruise had a medical emergency onboard and our ship was re-routed which resulted in our itinerary changing. All of the non-Carnival excursions were cancelled as we were now arriving on a date that we didn't have a reservation for. The day we arrived in Cozumel we decided to stop by and ask if they might be able to accommodate us and explained the situation. A quick phone call was made and within 10 minutes a jeep pulled up with our driver for the day and we were on our way to a day of fun! Our driver was delightful, his English was almost flawless and my husband, who is bilingual. enjoyed speaking Spanish with him while he spoke English with us. The company has a basic plan of action for the day, they present it and you can change anything you wish. They start you off on a jeep (you need to drive it to the outskirts of town and then the driver takes over due to politics). You are given a cooler with water bottles and beer and informed that there is open container approval for the tourists and off you go! We followed their basic recommendations which were to go tequila tasting and see how tequila is made (warning, you're gonna get tipsy! LOL); head across the island to the quieter other side to see and play in the ocean (there was a roadstand there where you could purchase items or get a massage), visit Punta Sur (admission included) and climb the lighthouse, visit a tiny ruin and see a lagoon (sadly, no crocs there that day) and stop for an authentic Mexican lunch which was delicious. We enjoyed our day, our driver (who I apologize, I have forgotten his name) and would do it again as we didn't begin to have visited all the places one could visit during this cruise stop.

We booked a private jeep tour with this company for my family of 4 and we had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide MIGUEL was very polite and respectful. He was able to promptly made some accommodations for us which we thought was great. The tour was informative and Miguel seemed very knowledgeable of the island because he was born and raised in Cozumel. The tour was very flexible to our schedule and we made a few stops to see some of the important parts of the island. They also provided with some drinks and food, all of this for a very reasonable price! I don't usually write reviews but this company and Miguel deserve the exception :) Highly recommend to take this awesome tour.

The trip was really awesome. We had Manuel as the tour guide. They were late,but made up for it in service. He was very safety conscious. Explained everything well. The only thing I would've changed as first time snorkelers was explain how to clear your mask and breathing tube. Trial by fire learning experience. The places were awesome. Very beautiful. Near the end of the trip. They made some guacamole. Which was very good and needed. I highly recommend this snorkeling tour. 2 thumbs up.

What a fantastic day! We picked the jeep tour and opted out of snorkeling. We had 4 people in our party, so we got 2 jeeps and our tour guide Adriana went back and forth between the 2 cars at different stops. For an extra $22 we went to the puebla del maiz and that was such fun. Traditional Mayan village with offerings to the goddess of fertility, we made Mayan tortillas and chocolate, tasted honey, and then had a delicious tequila tasting. We also went to the nature preserve and climbed up to the lighthouse, and had a fun walk to the blowholes along the surf. Lunch was included and delicious. Adriana is informative, fun and willing to make more stops that weren't originally included. We had far more fun it seems than friends that booked a ship sponsored excursion, at less cost!! I highly recommend this jeep tour.

6 tips for going on a cruise as a wheelchair user

T raveling in a wheelchair undoubtedly comes with its challenges, but almost any wheelchair user will probably agree that cruising comes with far fewer challenges than air travel and most other modes of transportation. On a cruise, you don't need to worry about finding an accessible taxi or calling in advance to check accessibility when going to dinner.

Instead, you can hop in an elevator and in less than five minutes, you'll be ready for dinner in a nice cruise ship restaurant . Life on board a cruise ship is easy for wheelchair users because it's like an entire city is right there on the ship. Whether you want to lounge by the pool and drink pina coladas all day, see a Broadway-style show or even gamble in the onboard casino, nearly anything is possible within the confines of a cruise ship.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

While cruising is one of the easier ways to travel with a disability, wheelchair users should keep a few things in mind when considering a cruise vacation. If you're planning a cruise, here are six tips for cruising as a wheelchair user to help ensure you have an enjoyable — and accessible — cruise vacation.

Book as early as possible

Some of the larger cruise ships can hold around 5,000 people. Royal Caribbean 's Icon of the Seas , currently the world's largest ship, carries 7,600 passengers. However, even with that much space, wheelchair-accessible cabins can be limited. Typically, a cruise ship only offers a few dozen accessible rooms, and they are often booked quickly. (MSC Cruises tends to provide more accessible cabins than other cruise lines. MSC Seaside offers 51 accessible cabins.)

If you're thinking about taking a cruise, it's incredibly important to do the proper research and reserve your accessible cabin as early as possible. Booking a year or more in advance is great, especially for Alaska cruises . Cruises to Alaska often sell out of accessible cabins in record time, so keep an eye out for on-sale dates if there's a specific cruise you'd like to book.

Choose a cruise line that works for you

Generally, the bigger the ship, the more accessible it is. For example, cruise lines like Carnival , Royal Caribbean and Disney have at least a few thousand passengers on every cruise, so the ships are more likely to accommodate wheelchair users. Holland America and Celebrity Cruises cater to older travelers, so you can also expect good access on their ships. However, smaller ships (and especially river cruises ) are typically not wheelchair-friendly.

Newer ships are also more accessible than older vessels. If you see that a brand-new ship is coming out from one of the big cruise lines, you can almost guarantee that accessibility will be fantastic.

To determine whether a ship is the right one for you, go to your chosen cruise line's website and pull up the deck plan of your desired ship. Accessible cabins will be indicated by a wheelchair symbol.

You can also do a Google search for "(cruise ship name) wheelchair access review" and read reviews from other wheelchair users. Nothing beats that firsthand perspective from a fellow wheelchair user.

Find out if ports of call are docked or tendered

Rolling around a cruise ship as a wheelchair user is spectacular, but what about exploring the various ports of call? Visiting various destinations on a single itinerary is one of the big advantages of a cruise vacation.

Wheelchair users should choose cruise itineraries where ships dock at the ports of call. Once the ship is tied up to the pier, wheelchair users can simply roll down a ramp to disembark the ship.

The alternative is that the ship anchors offshore and uses smaller, typically inaccessible, boats called tenders to take passengers ashore. It's difficult, and sometimes impossible, for wheelchair users to board these boats and transfer to shore.

You can find out if a port is docked or tendered by viewing the itinerary online or calling the cruise line.

Rent mobility equipment

For many wheelchair users, one of the most difficult parts of traveling is taking along medical and mobility equipment. As someone who travels with a motorized wheelchair, a shower/commode wheelchair, a patient lift, wheelchair chargers and other medical equipment, I know firsthand how challenging it is to haul everything around once you reach a destination.

To make the process easier, companies such as Special Needs at Sea and Scootaround will allow you to rent mobility equipment that will be waiting in your cabin when you board the ship. Cruise travelers can rent wheelchairs, hospital beds, patient lifts, oxygen concentrators and more.

Reserve shore excursions with accessibility-focused companies

If cruise lines are lacking in one department, it's the availability of wheelchair-accessible shore excursions. Some cruise lines do offer accessible shore excursions in certain destinations, but the choices can be limited.

Royal Caribbean offers accessible shore excursions in several port cities in the Caribbean, Europe and the Mediterranean. Passengers must fill out a request form prior to the cruise. Additionally, accessible shore excursions through Carnival Cruise Line are marked with a wheelchair icon. They include tours in Valletta, Malta; Glasgow, Scotland; Ketchikan, Alaska; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

If your particular cruise line doesn't provide a good selection of wheelchair-friendly excursions, consider booking a tour with an external company. In most ports of call, especially in the Caribbean and Europe, you can find local companies that have adapted transportation. It might take a bit of a Google search to find them, but they are out there.

For example, Sage Traveling offers wheelchair-friendly shore excursions in dozens of popular cruise destinations. Even better, the company is managed by a wheelchair user, so you can rest assured that accessibility will be top-notch.

Let an accessibility specialist plan your cruise

If researching and planning a wheelchair-friendly cruise seems daunting, let someone else do the work for you. Some travel companies specialize in accessible tours — including cruises.

Easy Access Travel specializes in both accessible cruise vacations and packaged land tours for travelers with physical limitations. The company has sailed with such lines as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess Cruises , Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line .

In addition to offering accessible shore excursions, the above-mentioned Sage Traveling organizes wheelchair-friendly cruise vacations to the Caribbean, Europe and the Mediterranean.
