Hello fellow travelers! I am Israel and I live on the beautiful Caribbean island of Cozumel since 2015. I was born and raised in Mexico City, one of the biggest cities in the world. In 2010 I came to the Mexican Caribbean and start living here. I changed the city for the beautiful tropical Quintana Roo after finding peace, balance and beauty, I have been working as a tour guide, dive master and business developer ever since. I have lived in Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Akumal, these beautiful coastal towns full of music and color, I fell in love with Cozumel around 5 years ago. The community, the people and the unique ecosystem here is outstanding, what attracted me the most is the calmness and the infinate possibilities of making a great life and spend the time here and then on deep contemplation and joy. I also found love and met my beautiful wife here and I have been living a magic time on the island ever since. I am a college graduate with a degree in international trade and business. Early on I worked in the corporate world as an import-export specialist and after a time life took me to the golf life as a course consultant. I left the corporate world 12 years ago to start my own business and spend time in nature doing the things I truly love. I am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. I love to meet people from other cultures and share the mayan culture and beauty to everyone, this is an amazing place to live. I am divemaster with a specialty guide certification as coastal, shore, reef and sea turtle preservation. My passions are exploring off-the-beaten-path places, scuba diving, eating in kitschy restaurants, telling stories, learning the obscure histories of this planet, meeting local characters, stargazing and love everyone around. I love to design experiences for my clients, I love creating authentic experiences, share breakfast on a remote beach at sunrise or go deep into conversation. I look forward to creating good memories and a lasting impressions of this special land with all of my clients and friends. All my tours can be customized upon request and deliver a big scoop of the Mexican Caribbean for all. I hope to see you very soon! Guide specialty in marine shore, coral reef and sea turtle.

This was an incredible tour while visiting the Port of Cozumel! We explored the fascinating Mayan ruins, relaxed at beautiful off-the-beaten-path beaches, and enjoyed a local mojito that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.

Thank you for a wonderful day
Israel was great. He gave us an enjoyable time driving the island and we had an amazing lunch at a beach club. Four stars is because we needed a minivan and he had issues with the rental company that caused him to be late. Although it was not his fault, the communication could have been better.
