About this experience
Discover the Caribbean with a full-day Cozumel snorkeling tour from Playa del Carmen, combining a scenic ferry crossing, a panoramic catamaran cruise, guided reef snorkeling and relaxing beach time.
After hotel pickup in Playa del Carmen, travel to the ferry terminal and cross to the island of Cozumel. Once there, board a catamaran and sail towards the island’s famous southern reefs for a guided snorkeling experience in the crystal-clear waters of the Cozumel Marine Park.
Explore the colourful underwater landscapes of Palancar Reef or Colombia Reef, home to coral formations, tropical fish and diverse Caribbean marine life. Your Cozumel catamaran tour also includes a visit to El Cielo, the island’s famous starfish sanctuary, followed by a stop at El Cielito, where calm, shallow turquoise waters create the perfect setting for swimming and relaxing.
After snorkeling, continue to Kuzá Beach Adventure Park for lunch, beach time and access to its attractions. Relax on one of Cozumel’s most beautiful beaches or enjoy the park before taking the return ferry to Playa del Carmen.
Round-trip transportation, ferry tickets, catamaran sailing, guided snorkeling, snorkeling equipment, a life vest, food and selected non-alcoholic drinks are included.
This family-friendly Cozumel day trip from Playa del Carmen is ideal for travellers looking for an El Cielo snorkeling tour, a Caribbean catamaran experience or a complete island excursion without requiring scuba diving certification.
