    Do I need to have previous snorkeling or diving experience to join a water tour?

    Are water tours suitable for non-swimmers or young children?

    Some water tours in Cozumel, such as scenic boat cruises or glass-bottom boat rides, are suitable for non-swimmers and young children, as they don't require direct water entry or swimming skills. However, tours that involve snorkeling, diving, or water sports may have age, health, or swimming ability restrictions to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants. If you have any concerns or are traveling with young children, it's always best to check with Tourbase or the tour operator to ensure that the tour is appropriate for your group.

    What is included in the price of a water tour?

    The inclusions of water tours in Cozumel can vary depending on the specific tour operator and package. Most tours include round-trip transportation from your hotel or a central meeting point, necessary equipment such as snorkeling gear or life jackets, and the services of a professional guide or instructor. Some tours may also include additional amenities such as drinks, snacks, lunch, or access to beach clubs or marine parks. Be sure to check the specific inclusions and exclusions of your chosen tour when booking with Tourbase.

    What should I bring on a water tour?

    When joining a water tour in Cozumel, it's essential to bring a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and a hat or sunglasses for sun protection. Depending on the specific tour, you may also want to bring a change of clothes, a light jacket or cover-up for boat rides, and cash for personal expenses or gratuities. If you plan to bring a camera, consider using a waterproof case or disposable underwater camera to capture your aquatic memories.
