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.

    This trip included snorkelling witch was fantastic , however the transport was chaotic at best and the trip included an island tour of which we saw nothing as there was no time also I did not get my included meal as delays on the boat meant we got to the restaurant late my food was incorrect and finally arrived 5 mins before we had to leave to catch the ferry so I was unable to eat it , I was extremely disappointed as I paid for a premium trip and we didn’t see any of the island ??

    Enjoyed the snorkelling. The guys on the boat great but not much guidance from guide.The timing for everything was wrong, ‘lunch’ was far too late in the day and very bland. Too much time standing in the water at the stingrays. Lunch was very rushed due to poor timing. Should be warned how long we had to wait for food

    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.
