We went to Palancar Beach with our snorkeling equipment and just played around in the water (the snorkel boats weren't going out because of the wind)and had a great lunch. Unfortunately, we forgot a set of fins and goggles but when we went back 2 days later we checked with the cashier and there they were, just waiting for us!... more

We were happy as clams in Cozumel. We brought our own inflatable Sevylor Colorado Kayak to Palancar beach and in minutes my wife and I and our 7 year old girl were far out over the reef. The water was amazing and the visibility was stunning. We spent the early afternoon in ecstasy exploring and snorkeling in deep waters... we... more

If you want to experience top notch diving at an affordable price, the island of Cozumel is your answer. You can dive the wall-no matter what your experience-and feel safe while enjoying one of the most exciting scuba dives on this planet. The dive companies there are so experienced that I felt safe diving a 130ft wall during my first... more

We have cruised to Cozumel many times and Palancar Beach is my all time favorite place to visit. Not only is the beach free of charge but there is everything to do without all the crowds. I dove the Palancar Reef last week with Migual for my first scuba dive and it was beautiful. We swam with sea turtles! Palancar... more

Last week we dove Palancar. Average depth was 50' and vis was around 80'. Lots of wildlife. Big 'cudas, lobster, and all kinds of fish. Current wasn't too bad, but present as... more

I can't say enough about this most beautiful underwater paradise. I do not dive, I snorkel, and I had no idea that snorkelers could view this much beauty. I thought that it was only reserved for divers, but not true. I do now want to learn to scuba, because of the beauty. My friend and I went out on the... more

We took two Snuba/Snorkel trips with Mayan Paradise Tours. One word - Awesome! Both trips were fun but my favorite was the one that hits the Palancar and Columbia reefs. I did Snuba at both and thought it was incredible. The Palancar reef was my favorite, it is just so large. We came to an edge that goes very deep... more

I arrived just in time for the last snorkeling trip of the day at Palancar beach: 25 USD for about one hour snorkeling along the reef. Saw beautiful schools of tunas, a porcupinefish, stunning canyons and coral cliffs, lots of angelfish, sea cucumbers.... All this within 20ft deep. An other day I went to Punta Sur ecological reserve at the... more

We went on a SNUBA tour with Mayan Paradise Tours and it was so incredible, we went back for a second trip in our 5-day stay. My husband and I both love snorkeling, and decided to try SNUBA so we could get a "diving" experience without being certified divers. It was great!! You really get a completely different feel for... more
