Best snorkel tour in Cozumel Mexico
Tracie_M, Mar 2024
We were so grateful to the team on Aqua dream 2. They really brought the trip to life, made us feel safe, and we saw some amazing things! There was even dancing at the end!
Not a good experience
lori_s, Jul 2023
The communication was not good. The time was changed without being notified. We missed the boat and had to pay $70 in taxi fare to try to catch it and the representative was so rude and not helpful. I will say the reps when we made it to Playa Mia were more helpful and friendly.
Great tour, el cielo is beautiful
Derek_T, Dec 2022
The snorkeling was some of the best I have ever done. The cocktails on the boat were not good and the food at the lunch sport buffet is awful. The tour itself it’s lovely and the crew great
Too crowded, lack of instruction, high price
Kayla_G, Apr 2022
Started out with the bad news that we could not tour the reefs that we came to see due to the wind. The snorkeling was way over crowded, couldnt get far in the water without getting kicked by other peoples fins. The ‘reefs’ we were taken to weren’t impressive. When we got to the resort, my son wanted to play on the inflatables, so we let him do that for about 30 minutes and then went for lunch when we learned we can’t eat lunch because we were supposed to in the beginning. We were never told this. The instructor led most of the trip in Spanish, so we did not get much instruction. The resort staff felt bad for us and said they would bring us our meals. We sat and waited for over 40 minutes until I had to go to the counter and ask, and they had forgotten to put our order in. I was told in the beginning of the tour that a cab would be provided for us back to our cruise ship, however that was not the case and we had to spend $20 to be rushed there. We did not have much time to enjoy the resort. I’m not sure I would recommend this excursion.
Taste sample of a few locations
Abiel_J, Jul 2021
Buying thru Viator is like a self service via internet, but don't expect customer service, I tried to contact them with no success, I was worry because I thought the ferry was not operating every day, but it turns out the two companies are alternating days, you just need to be there 1 or 2 hours before departure. Tour experience is very good, yes it feels like you do not expend too much time in each location, but you get to visit 4 different locations: 1) reef 2) starfish 3) cielo sandbar, 4) beach and lunch. If you prefer to expend more time on either one, you should considere a different tour, this is like a taste sample of each one of them.
Great tour, scheduling problems.
Sarah_S, Mar 2021
We showed up for our tour on our scheduled time, and no one was there. After calling a few times I got ahold of someone who couldn’t find our reservation, then we were told they canceled for the day due to weather, the tour itself was great the next day, but i was traveling with children and it was a big inconvenience to show up for a tour that was not happening.

We missed the ferry to Cozumel. I immediately tried to reschedule or get a refund, but have gotten NO response!
Fun Day on the Water
Terri_S, Mar 2021
Loved the staff! They were very engaged with the guests on the boat. Great service! The food at the buffet was mediocre at best but.....the rest of the trip made it well worth it!
