Snorkeling in Cozumel with Sea Scooters & Tequila Tasting

Rocket through Cozumel's reefs on a sea scooter, hands-free and effortless.

Powered snorkeling in Cozumel pairs sea scooters with reef exploration, letting you cover more ocean and spot more marine life without the physical effort of finning. After returning to shore, you'll taste homemade tequila and salsas and watch a Mayan dance presentation at Monina Restaurant. The activity runs three hours total, includes all snorkeling gear and transport, and welcomes children from age nine.

The experience

Cozumel's snorkeling starts at Monina Restaurant, where you'll get a safety briefing on the sea scooter gear before heading into the Caribbean. The scooters do the work. You steer and navigate while they propel you through the water, letting you cover more reef and stay longer underwater without tiring. As you move through the blue water, schools of tropical fish surround you, and you'll spot soft coral, stingrays, moray eels, and possibly manta rays and sea turtles depending on the day.

Once you're back on shore and the gear is cleaned, the tequila tasting begins. A Mayan dance performance opens the experience, then you'll taste several homemade tequila varieties and learn how they're made and their history in Mexico. The tasting includes homemade chocolate and three types of salsas (mango, tamarind, and others) before the air-conditioned vehicle returns you to Monina Restaurant.
