What to expect

Hop aboard a super-speedy boat headed to Cozumel Island, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and its marine life are waiting. Soak up the breathtaking landscapes before snorkelling at two of the most famous reefs in the southern part of the island, Palancar and Colombia. They're separated by a couple of metres of open water, so you'll have wall-to-wall reef to explore.

Next stop is the shores of El Cielo – which literally means ‘the sky' in English – as it's famous for its peaceful atmosphere and giant starfish population, which you'll find covering much of the ocean floor. You'll also have the chance to see stingrays and other sea creatures during your time here. Afterwards, there'll be some time to relax and check out the views from El Cielito Sandbar, before heading towards the centre of Cozumel.

For lunch, you'll get to try some of the region's typical dishes at a vibrant, local restaurant with an ocean view, before rounding off the day with free time to wander around Cozumel Centre. You've the option of a quick tour here – including a visit to the central clock tower at the heart of the island. Then jump back on the boat to sail back to Playa del Carmen, where your transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

    Traveled as a couple


    The whole experience felt very disorganised. We were going between guides constantly. Eventually we made it to the boat. But then when we finally got on we had to wait for ages to leave and we're Eventually moved to another boat. Another group that was with us left 30 mins before us which really cut in to the activity time as we had been told we had to catch a specific ferry back to the mainland. We were told there would be only 12 in our group when we booked. There were 18. Terrible communicati

    One of the most amazing experiences of my life. Having never snorkelled, this was the perfect introduction with deeper sea snorkelling in the reef, shallower snorkelling to see star fish and then some time in 1m deep water for a ‘sea picnic’ and time with stingray. Organisation was excellent however we were told we would have time to explore Cozumel which we didn’t. Maybe a later ferry back or less time for the picnic could improve this already amazing experience.

    We loved this trip. The guide on our boat Rodrigo was brilliant, he knew where to snorkel to see all the animals and he was both knowledgable and funny. We had snacks on a paddle board “table “ floating at sea with stingrays swimming by! An unforgettable experience.

    Loved this trip excellent all round. Felt very safe and the trip was well organised - the snorkelling was excellent although the reef was not as I had imagined we still saw numerous fish species, the starfish were huge and we also saw 4 stingrays at the stop but the last stop was incredible to see and be in the water with the stingrays....this was the last trip of our holiday and we all loved it ! Alejandro and crew were fabulous and this is a trip not to be missed.
