Howdy! Our family is taking a cruise this Spring. Our only stop is Cozumel. Mix of adults and kids. We have done a couple of snorkeling trips with our kids and it is always the highlight of the trip.

Any recommendations for a good company to look at that is close to the cruise port that we can get to relatively easy and spend 4-6 hours snorkeling the reefs? Had some friends suggest Chichi Charters, but they are not available that day.

Thanks!

We just got back. Had our group of 8 scheduled tor an excursion at Paradise Beach, When we got to the port, they said it was canceled due to high winds. (would have taken a Catamaran), so we opted for a non-Carnival excursion to the Cozumel National Park. Took a van. It was about a 30 min drive from the port. Very calm waters here its in a cove, so no waves. We rented some snorkel gear. Saw a stingray, starfish, and lots of fish. Not really are coral where we were though. It was fun and not crowed at all.

Thoughts on Paradise Beach?

We have used Chichi Charters in the past. Can book a private excursion that hits 7-8 locations before stopping off of Playa El Cielo to hang out on the sandbar with the rays while the crew makes fresh guac and ceviche, family enjoyed it.

ETA: NM, just reread your post after posting this so forget Chichi.

It was actual Passion Island, not Paradise. . It was supposed to be a private beach excursion with our own personal chef and bar tender. But they had to cancel due to high winds.
