Exclusive El Cielo private snorkel for 1–5 guests – fast boat to Palancar + Colombia reefs, hundreds of starfish at El Cielo, gentle manta rays at El Cielito, fresh ceviche, guacamole, fruit, cold beer + soft drinks onboard, plus full San Francisco Beach Club access with pool, kayaks and loungers included (4 hours).
Hop aboard your own private, fast boat at San Francisco Beach Club in Cozumel and set off for a half-day snorkeling adventure that packs four of the island’s best underwater spots into one unforgettable trip.
Start at Palancar Reef, where vibrant coral gardens and schools of tropical fish create a living rainbow below the surface. Move to Colombia Reef for more colorful marine life, then glide into El Cielo—the starfish capital of Cozumel—where hundreds of golden stars dot the white-sand bottom and sea turtles often cruise by. Finish at El Cielito, a natural shallow pool where harmless manta rays glide gracefully around you in crystal-clear water. Between dives, the crew serves fresh guacamole, ceviche, tropical fruit, cold beers, soft drinks, and purified water right on the boat.
This 4-hour private excursion (1–5 people) includes complete snorkeling gear, a professional bilingual guide (English/Spanish), and the flexibility to linger at your favorite spots.
Real talk: the water is warm and clear year-round, but bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel—saltwater lingers.
Exclusive for your group; book early for calm seas and prime marine life.
Here's practical advice to help your snorkeling day go well, based on common experiences with marine life, water conditions, and the boat. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
Common issues. Seas can be wavy—guests prone to motion sickness took meds. Not wheelchair accessible—steps to boat. Weather rarely cancels; dress in layers.
High likelihood—guests reported vibrant reefs, fish, starfish, manta rays, and occasional turtles. Crew maximizes time in best spots; no guarantee but Cozumel’s waters are world-class.
Excellent—clear, warm water with healthy reefs. Guides help beginners; equipment is brand-new and fits all sizes.
Yes for children who handle water and boat motion. Families said kids loved the starfish and manta rays, but supervise closely.
Limited—snacks include guacamole and fruit. Notify early for adjustments. Guests found options sufficient.
Open deck and water-level views give great angles—bring a good zoom lens or phone with stabilizer. Crew pauses for shots at the Arch and snorkel spots.
Private boat (1–5 people), four prime sites, fresh snacks, and premium service. Past guests preferred the exclusivity and comfort over larger or noisier group tours.
