ATV and Clear Boat Snorkeling in Cozumel: Sunken Ship

You ride a double ATV, then see straight through the boat to the ocean floor below.

An ATV and clear boat activity in Cozumel combines off-road riding on a double ATV with a snorkeling trip aboard a transparent-hull boat to a sunken ship in the north part of the island, finishing at Playa Uvas beach club with lunch and full amenities. The clear boat portion requires an additional fee and is subject to weather. Guides speak English and Spanish. Children are welcome from age 7.

The experience

The day starts with a double ATV ride across Cozumel's off-road terrain. You get dirty, feel the adrenaline, and move at your own pace through the landscape. After the riding portion, you head to the clear boat, a vessel with a transparent hull that lets you see straight down into the water as it moves. This is where the snorkeling part begins: you'll spend roughly 30 minutes in the water around a sunken ship, spotting marine life and exploring what's below. The clear boat ride is subject to weather conditions, so the operator confirms it is running before you depart.

Between the ATV section and the water, the tour includes a tequila tasting with a guide who walks you through the elaboration process and some history of the spirit. It is a break from the physical activity and a chance to learn something about the region. Bottled water is provided throughout.

The final stop is Playa Uvas beach club, where you get lunch and full access to the facilities: loungers, a pool, and the option to do more water activities like kayaking or additional snorkeling if you want. When the five-hour experience ends, personal transportation takes you back to the meeting point. Snorkeling equipment and security gear are included. The clear boat fee of 25 USD per person is paid in cash at checkout.
