It’s no surprise that travellers come from all over the world just to visit the Mexican-Caribbean: with some of the rarest marine life in the world and some of the highest-rated beaches in the Caribbean, there’s a little something for everyone in this tropical paradise.
Whilst there are numerous shorelines throughout the region to explore, Cozumel is undoubtedly the place to go for stunning views of the ocean and the animals that live in it. We’ve rounded up 3 of the best boat tours in Cozumel to ensure that your next trip is full of unforgettable experiences.
VIP Glass Bottom Boat & Snorkelling 3 Reefs Tour
Swimmers and non-swimmers alike will adore this glass-bottom boat tour off the coast of Cozumel. This two-hour-long thrilling adventure takes guests through three of the most stunning coral reefs in the Mexican-Caribbean, where colourful tropical fish and stunning coral formations reach as far as the eye can see.
Those who can’t swim (or prefer to get some rest and relaxation) are able to observe the beauty of the ocean floor through the glass bottom of the boat.
Snorkels and dive masks are provided on board, as well as an endless array of soft drinks and bottled water. Beer is also served after the snorkelling part of the tour is completed, so guests can sit back, and take in the beauty of the Caribbean Sea.
For the maximum comfort of guests, the boat contains a sundeck, bathroom facilities, and multiple safety features onboard, including life jackets.

Atlantis Submarine Expedition
This exciting escapade is perfect for travellers who want an incredible story to tell others when they return from vacation. At the Atlantis Submarine Expedition, travellers will dive up to 100 feet inside a real US Coast Guard certified Submarine, whilst the co-pilot provides expert analysis on the surrounding marine flora and fauna.
The journey takes travellers to the underwater park of ‘Chankanaab’: now recognised as an environmentally protected marine park, the site was previously only accessible to divers. With the Atlantis Submarine Expedition, anyone brave enough to board the submarine is invited to take the plunge, including little ones (as long as they are over 3ft tall).
As an added bonus, prior to the submarine’s descent, passengers are taken along a 12-minute cruise of the coast of Cozumel – an ample opportunity to marvel at the beauty of the Mexican-Caribbean.
