Snorkeling in Cozumel

23 tours · €30–€149 per person · ★ 4.8

For snorkeling in Cozumel, we read every listing and picked 23 tours by hand, all rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €30 per person for park entry with guided snorkeling to €149 per group for a private catamaran with lunch. El Cielo snorkeling by catamaran pairs reef stops with time at the sandbar, with gear and refreshments included so you can spend the outing on the water.

A quick way to choose: many boat trips charge marine park fees separately, so check the exclusions before comparing prices. Private boats can switch to another area when rough seas affect El Cielo. The turtle sanctuary boat tour uses Cozumel local time, which can differ from your cruise ship's clock, so check your departure time against the listing. The best reviewed snorkeling tours in Cozumel come first below.
