Excellent snorkel adventure in beautiful Cozumel waters

Sting rays swam around and through our group several times. We were able to snorkel four locations with varying depths and attractions.

Absolutely use Maybee tours!

My husband and I took a day tour to Cozumel to snorkel and this tour was absolutely amazing! Our guides were extremely friendly and made our first snorkeling experience a blast! They even took us to a 4th location to snorkel to see Sea Turtles with was incredible. They are located right off the ferry port so it was easily accessible and they taxied us to the port where the boat for the tour was and taxied us back to the ferry port at the end. It was very convenient and I would highly recommend using Maybee tours for your snorkeling excursion!

Great snorkeling at a great price

It was a blast! We meet at the ferry pier. Then traveled by taxi to the marina. Once we got on the boat, off to sea we went. We stopped at one location and snorkeled then we swam to the 2nd location. We got back in the boat and went to the 3rd location. All areas were beautiful. Once we finished the snorkeling we went to a sand bar area where there were plenty of other boats. You could walk around or just sit on the sand. The tour guide provided us we drinks and then some guac & chips. We returned to the marina and then they provided a taxi ride back to the ferry pier. I believe our guide was Rafael with Gustavo as our boat driver. Both provided excellent service. Would highly recommend.

Great experience

Trip was great! Our guide was awesome and we saw turtles, sharks, stingrays, and starfish! We had enough time in each place and got beers and guacamole at the end

Perfect!

The guides were great and it was such a nice touch to have some home made guacamole with a beer on a sand bar after snorkeling. I highly recommend!

Great Trip - Great Tour Guides

Trip overall was great! The boat captain (Jesus) and snorkeling guide (Alejandro) made the trip. They took us to the three scheduled stops - which were all great. Plus, they added another stop because we asked if we could/would see turtles. They always got us to good locations and away from any crowds. And the boat had a small glass bottom window which was nice. Yes, the boat does not have a bathroom, but it was a relatively small boat (less than 12-15 people) - which we liked the smaller group with one guide. We saw some other tours on boats (catamarans) with about 30 to 40+ people. The trip started a little frustrating though trying to get to the boat. We were scheduled to start at 12:00 noon at Maybe Tour booth at Muelle Fiscal (Ferry Dock). We arrived at 11:50am. We were told we would leave in 20 minutes, it was 40 minutes later (12:30pm). We were told the taxi ride was 5 minutes, it was 15 minutes (12:45pm). Then they said the boat would leave in 10 minutes, it was 15 minutes (1:00pm). But once we left, the trip was great. Even with the hour getting to the boat, we still had plenty of snorkeling time. FYI - The taxi/bus ride that took 20 minutes to get to the boat passed our Cruise Port on the way. So on the taxi ride back they dropped us off at the Cruise Port which was only 5 minutes away. Suggestion: If you are taking this excursion via a cruise ship, you may want to make arrangements to go directly to the Maybe Tours boat dock (5 minutes south) versus going 10 minutes farther north to their booth at the Ferry Dock. (And taxi would be shorter trip and cheaper).
