Cozumel Snorkel Excursion: Colombia reef – Palancar reef – El Cielo – El Cielito

Daily Cozumel Boat Tours to the Cozumel National Park

Make the most of your day in Cozumel with our Private Cozumel Boat Tours. This excursion takes us to the National Park of Cozumel, with a breathtaking underwater world and coral reefs. Enjoy the peaceful and crystal clear waters of El Cielo, an excellent break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.   Ever wanted to see starfish or snorkel with sting rays? Discover an amazing underwater world during our Cozumel boat tours to the famous El Cielo, Colombia and Palancar National Park in Cozumel.

Our Privat Cozumel Boat Tours start every morning at 10:00 am and in the afternoon at 2:00 pm and takes 4 hours. We take our guests to the best snorkel reefs in Cozumel, the Colombia and Palancar National Park as well as El Cielo.

Our first stop will be the reefs Colombia and Palancar. We spend about 40 minutes snorkeling these amazing reefs. Then we continue to the starfish beach in El Cielo. Next to El Cielo is El Cielito, where you can swim in the clear water, have beer and snacks and enjoy the magnificent Caribbean. We include the following stops in our Private Cozumel Boat Tour:  

Snorkeling in Cozumel Colombia & Palancar Reef

The Cozumel reefs Colombia and Palancar are located directly behind each other and are several kilometers long. The shallow part of the Colombia Reef is perfect for snorkeling. At a depth of about 6-7 meters / 20 feet, amazing coral formations are waiting for us and with some luck we will find some big parrot fish or sea turtles.

The Colombia Reef runs parallel to the island of Cozumel for over a mile and offers enough space for a fantastic Cozumel snorkeling experience.

Snorkeling in Cozumel El Cielo In Spanish, “El Cielo” means “Heaven”. It is one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Cozumel, if not in the entire Caribbean. The white sand shines in the turquoise-blue water. Here we see various starfish.  

 

Beach Break Cozumel El Cielito El Cielito is the shallow part of EL Cielo and means “little heaven”. Sometimes stingrays are swimming or hiding in the sand. Here we are having a snack of Guacamole and fresh fruits, something to drink and enjoy the water.

  1. Rustem P.

    We booked a beautiful excursion with a private boat. After several stops we arrived at El Cielo. This is how you imagine the original Caribbean. An excursion that I can only recommend to everyone.

  2. Maraike M.

    The tour yesterday was GREAT. The two guides were very eager. We went south and had a great day snorkeling at El Cielo. Food was deliciously prepared with a lot of effort and the swimming and snorkeling was of course a blast.

  3. Raul A.

    Top snorkeling tour
    It was a very great trip. We visited 3 reefs (Columbia, Palancar and El Cielo) and afterwards we went to a remote beach. It was a very successful trip. The crew members took great care of us. At the last point we even had guacamole and nachos. Very tasty. It was a great trip and I can only recommend it to others.

  4. Peter B.

    On our 4 week round trip through México we had planned 3 days Cozumel and immediately got in touch with Birgit via WhatsApp ( boss of Leon Tours ).
    Birgit organized 2 fantastic snorkeling tours in the north and south. On the 3rd day then the jeep tour over the rest of the island. The weather conditions were also perfectly coordinated on which day which tour is best. So we had 3 wonderful days on Cozumel although we unfortunately landed in a bad hotel (Sunscape). Without the great organization of Birgit, who personally picked us up every day, the stay would certainly not have been so wonderful.
    Every German tourist who wants to experience something special in Cozumel or tulum on a cruise or round trip should choose Leon Tours. Also the photos you get for free what is not self-evident in México.
    You feel like you are being taken care of and not simply dispatched as is the case with other Mexican tour operators.
    We will recommend Leon Tours to all our friends

  5. Scott B.

    Thanks again! The trip was sooo nice!!! We had super fun on the boat with the two guys! They were really great! We will be happy to come back again.

  6. Sindy V.

  7. Petra B.

    We booked a private boat tour to l Cielo on Cozumel totally spontaneously through Leon Tours and it was the best decision. The entire organization was top. We felt safe and comfortable at every moment.
    A big thank you to the captain and our guide.
    It was an unforgettable experience and we can absolutely recommend this snorkeling tour and especially Leon Tours, because of the organization.

  8. Noel M.

    The Cozumel boat trip was beautiful, we saw a giant lobster, baracudas, giant starfish and of course many other fish. Emir, our captain, really made the best ceviche we have eaten so far ?Lazaro is a super guide who knows his stuff. He always named the fish ? The reservation with Birgit worked wonderfully. I always have thousands of questions, which were answered patiently.

  9. Misa G.

    Absolutely recommendable private snorkel tour on Cozumel! We have done a few snorkeling tours in our lives, but no other tour even comes close to this one. You are literally in the middle of paradise, we have never seen such clear water in so many different shades of blue before. During our tour we saw, among other things, numerous rays and starfish. The guides take a lot of time, they are super nice, there are delicious cold drinks and snacks. An unforgettable day and our highlight on our three-week Mexico trip.

  10. Sandy P.

    We did the private island jeep tour as well as the private snorkeling trip Cozumel.
    Our whole family was thrilled, especially by the animals in the wild that we could admire.
    Thank you Birgit for the uncomplicated and very nice communication the whole time!
    We recommend you without reservation!
    Very dear greetings!

  11. Rabea H.

    The trip was really great, the two guys did a really great job! We will gladly recommend you

  12. Marc C.

  13. Peter B.

    We booked and experienced a “Private” snorkeling tour on Cozumel at short notice. It was an unforgettable experience with many great moments in a friendly atmosphere with exciting information and many beautiful memories. For the great organization and care by our captain Alex we thank you very much.

  14. Rachel R.

    We were very lucky on our private Cozumel boat tour and saw starfish, small rays, two turtles and a giant eagle ray. It was a dream day.

  15. Maraike M.

    We booked this private snorkel tour on Cozumel spontaneously one evening before and were very excited! We were explained the entire tour in detail, so that nothing could go wrong?.
    During our tour we had two very friendly and open-minded captains on board, who were always helpful and still provided a good mood. We (girls 25 and 24) recommend Leontours in any case ?!

  16. Mohamad S.

    I would like to thank you very much for this great experience! Pato and his son are really so great people you could not have met better. You have given us an unforgettable morning! Thank you for your commitment and thank you for being so straightforward and trusting us! I will gladly recommend your company to others!

  17. Omar F.

    We booked a private snorkeling trip on Cozumel with Leon Tours. We had a wonderful day. The captain Milton and the guide Raul fulfilled our every wish!
    We saw turtles, rays and many other fish.
    We can recommend this trip 100%!
    Thanks again to Leon Tours!
