Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Cozumel call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 1 h 30 min; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:40 am and be back at the gangway around 10:30 am — 5 h to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 11:30 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

We don't have a verified start point for this tour yet, so we assume 20 min each way from the pier — the typical ride in Cozumel. Check the meeting point on the booking page.

Among the 400 Cozumel shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 4 h); 90% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Cozumel call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

About this tour

Embark on a unique experience in Cozumel aboard our exclusive all-glass boat.

We will visit the historic San Miguel pier, which was the first gateway to Cozumel. Along the way, you will be able to appreciate the diver's monument, a symbol of the island's rich underwater tradition. You will be amazed by the sunken ships, the amazing variety of corals and the colorful tropical fish that inhabit these crystal clear waters.

But the adventure doesn't end there. We will head towards the artificial reefs known as "Lego", where you will have the opportunity to snorkel and immerse yourself in the wonderful marine life of the Caribbean. Cozumel is famous for offering some of the best snorkeling in the world, and on this tour, you'll join a small group to explore the island's stunning reef systems.

Tour only from 5 years old to 60 years old without mobility deficiency.
