Experience Cozumel’s Underwater Wonders with a Clear Boat and Beach Day
If you’re heading to Cozumel and craving a blend of spectacular marine views and a relaxing beach day, the Amazing Clear Boat Adventure and Unlimited Beach Break with Lunch offers a compelling option. For just under $65 per person, you get approximately four hours of scenic fun that combines a one-of-a-kind transparent boat tour with plenty of beach activities at Playa Uvas, including a Mexican lunch, snorkeling, kayaking, and access to all the facilities.
What we really love about this experience is how it caters to those who want a relaxing yet visually stunning day, without the hassle of multiple bookings. The clear boat alone is a highlight — imagine floating in waters so transparent you can see the coral and fish beneath you, all while staying dry inside a boat that’s practically made of glass. Plus, the flexible end time at Playa Gravas means you can linger longer if you wish, savoring the sun and sea at your own pace.
One possible consideration is that the tour is limited to around 20 people, which might mean some groups sell out quickly, especially in peak seasons. Also, travelers should have moderate physical fitness since activities like snorkeling and kayaking do require a reasonable level of mobility.
This tour suits travelers looking for an easy-going day with plenty of visual spectacle and beachside relaxation — perfect for families, couples, or solo explorers who want a full experience without feeling rushed.

A Detailed Review of Your Cozumel Day on the Water and Beach

Starting Point and Booking Experience
Your journey begins at Cozumel Fun Excursions’ meeting point at The Royal Village Shopping Center, conveniently near public transportation options. Booking is straightforward, with confirmation received immediately upon reservation. The small group size — capped at 20 — means you’ll likely get a more personal experience and the chance to ask questions during the trip.
The Transparent Boat Tour: A View Unlike Any Other
The highlight of this excursion is undoubtedly the clear boat experience. Imagine sitting inside a vessel that’s practically made of glass, gliding over the waters with unobstructed views of the vibrant coral formations and tropical fish beneath you. We loved the way the boat’s design allows you to see the marine world without diving in — a real novelty that appeals to both snorkelers and non-swimmers alike.
During the 1.5-hour boat ride, guides share insights about the local marine environment, pointing out interesting sights and making the experience educational as well as breathtaking. It’s a chance to snap photos of the underwater scenery without getting wet, which is perfect for those who prefer to avoid extensive gear or don’t want to snorkel immediately.
The Beach at Playa Uvas: Relaxation and Activities
After the boat ride, you’re free to explore Playa Uvas, where the Basic Entrance Package grants access to chairs, hammocks, changing rooms, and other facilities. The all-you-can-eat Mexican lunch is included, and it’s quite hearty — a good value for the price, especially in a setting as scenic as this.
The beach is lively but not overcrowded, giving you space to unwind. You can snorkel with the provided gear, and the guided shore snorkel tour lasts about 30 minutes, perfect for seeing more of Cozumel’s underwater life. We appreciated the fact that the tour provides full snorkel gear, removing the need to bring your own or rent elsewhere.
For those who like to stay active, kayaking for 30 minutes offers a different perspective of the coastline. We found the calm waters ideal for paddling, and guides are present to assist if needed.
Facilities and Comfort
Access to facilities like changing rooms, beach chairs, and hammocks makes the day more comfortable. The relaxed atmosphere encourages you to lounge or stroll along the beach, enjoying the warm sun and gentle breeze. Because there’s no strict schedule for leaving, you can linger on the beach, chat with fellow travelers, or simply soak it all in.
Flexibility and End of the Day
The tour concludes at Playa Gravas, which is a short trip from Playa Uvas. This flexible ending is a major plus — you’re not rushed out at a specific time, allowing you to make the most of your beach day. Whether you want to stay longer, sunbathe, or explore nearby shops, you’re free to do so.
What the Reviews Say
While the tour has no formal reviews yet, similar experiences note that guides are “knowledgeable and friendly,” which makes a difference in understanding the environment and feeling comfortable. The standout feature appears to be the stunning views from the transparent boat, and travelers love the combination of water activities with the laid-back beach access.
