Brief History about Cozumel •

Cozumel is an island in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Cozumel, and close to the Yucatán Channel. The economy of Cozumel is based on tourism. There are a number of visitors to the island's balnearios, scuba diving, and snorkeling. The main town on the island is San Miguel de Cozumel. The islands belong to Cozumel Municipality of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The island is located in the Caribbean Sea along the eastern side of the Yucatan Peninsula about 82 km south of Cancún and 19 km from the mainland. The island is about 48 km long and 16 km wide. With a total area of 477.961 km2 (184.542 sq mi), it is Mexico's largest Caribbean island, largest permanently inhabited island, and Mexico's third-largest island, following Tiburón Island and Isla Ángel de la Guarda. The island is covered with mangrove forest which has many endemic animal species. Cozumel is a flat island based on limestone, resulting in karst topography. The highest natural point on the island is less than 15 m above sea level. The cenotes are deep water filled sinkholes formed by water percolating through the soft limestone soil during thousands of years. Cozumel's cenotes are restricted to qualified cave divers with appropriate credentials.

Places to visit on a yacht in Cozumel •

There are so many fun things to do on Cozumel Island; you simply won't be able to get to them all in a week -- let alone a day. But if you use the information you'll find on this website wisely and plan ahead, you really can make the most of your day on the island. You'll avoid the crowded and commercialized cruise-line-arranged tours. You'll bypass the teeming, sidewalk shuffle past the "approved" stores and restaurant's on your ship's list. You'll beat the crowds, find the beautiful and interesting spots and experience Cozumel, Mexico-- on your own terms. Whether you decide to explore totally on your own or book one of the small, intimate tours we've personally checked out and highly recommend, we can pretty well promise you that you'll have a grand time. We can't emphasize enough what a friendly, safe vacation destination this is. That makes it a perfect place to be independent-minded and plan an individualized experience that just right for you and your group. Although many folks prefer the convenience of paying for a small, personalized tour of one sort or the other, we're here to tell you that if you do desire to get out and explore on your own, Cozumel is a perfect place to try it. Mail order a Cozumel map from the Cancun Map Company ahead of time, then rent a car for the day and hit the road. This is a small, very flat island with paved, fairly well-maintained roads and light traffic. If you don't feel like driving, however, you can still go it solo. Taxis are everywhere. They provide reliable, economical transportation. Provided you plan an itinerary that focuses on the mid-south snorkeling beaches and Chankannab Park with, perhaps, an afternoon trip to town thrown in for shopping, people-watching and lunch. Figure around $16 RT taxi fare from the cruiseship pier to the national park or other good snorkeling beachs and $14 RT for a trip into town and back from the International or Puerta Maya piers. If your ship docks at Punta Langosta, you’re already right downtown. Below are some suggested itineraries for exploring Cozumel on your own. We've divided these up into two sIf your ship arrives early enough to beat the crowds, whip out to the taxi stand and head for this beautiful park. Admission is $10/person but we think it's worth it--a lovely way to spend the day. There's a protected lagoon that's perfect for young children. The snorkeling is usually not as good here as at some nearby spots. But it's still worth it for the view, the ambience and the nice facilities.        Get to Chankannab National Park as early as possible. There are plenty of shaded lounge shares on the long beach but this is a popular attraction and all the good spots will be taken; particularly in high season                                                                                                                      Free Snorkeling Beaches

Quick descripcion

Do you want to visit the Cielo in Cozumel and snorkel with the star fish in amazing crystal blue waters? Then you have come to the right place!

What is el Cielo Beach?

Only accessible by boat, El Cielo in Cozumel is a snorkeling spot where you can see an incredible number of starfish and snorkel in unbelievably turquoise waters.

The Catamaran Cozumel El Cielo Tour is one of the most popular things to do in Cozumel, taking you to El Cielo plus some amazing snorkeling in the world-renowned coral reef .

What is Catamarán Cozumel El Cielo Tour

First, let's start with some of the basics about catamarans in Cozumel :

Catamaran is a large ship with two hulls of equal size that are connected by a bridge deck.

The two-hull design improves stability and allows the catamaran to be better balanced in the water and when sailing. It also allows more deck space than traditional yachts.

Going on a catamaran from Cozumel is one of the most unique things to do in the Riviera Maya and is one of the best ways to see and experience the stunning turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

It is a fun and totally unforgettable experience if you love the ocean and being on a boat.

Advantages of the Catamaran

• The catamarans that the company has are spacious, comfortable and stable
• Bathrooms are available
• Space to move (dance and/or take photos in different parts of the boat)
• Buffet lunch
• They are Catamarans so it is easy to get into the water, and back onboard

Book in advance

This excursion is very popular and is almost always sold out days in advance, so on this particular excursion, it's important to plan ahead and always book so that lack of availability doesn't become an obstacle.

Catamaran Cozumel El Cielo Tour from Playa del Carmen

The tour leaves from Cozumel , so if you feel comfortable taking the ferry and getting to Cozumel on your own, I would recommend booking the tour that meets in Cozumel .

Otherwise, an all-inclusive tour that includes Playa del Carmen ferry tickets would be your easiest and hassle-free option.

What is included in the Catamarán Cozumel El cielo Snorkeling Tour

Catamarán Cozumel El Cielo Tour includes

• The Catamaran tour to the Cielo in Cozumel includes the boat ride to and from downtown Cozumel
• Snorkeling at the reef
• Snorkeling with the starfish in the Cielo
• A stop in the amazing shallow area "The Cielito"
• Snorkeling equipment
• Open bar (water, soda and beer)

Duration of the Catamarán Cozumel El Cielo Tour

The Cozumel El Cielo catamaran tour is a 6.5 to 7-hour experience.

The check-in process in Cozumel is approximately at 09:30 - 10:30 a.m. (Depending on the day), to be leaving at 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and you are back in downtown Cozumel at approximately 5:00 p.m. - 06:00 p.m.

The catamaran is a nice boat , it is clean, safe and big. There are 4-5 crew members on board and although it is a lot of fun, they take safety very seriously . They will give a good explanation of snorkelling , and they are extremely helpful, especially for those who are not experienced swimmers.

If you're a little worried about snorkeling at first, don’t worry the boat is well staffed and the crew will be in the water to make sure you don’t stray too far. The staff will make sure everyone is safe.

The snorkeling spot is amazing and the water is one of the clearest you’ve ever seen. You will see tropical fish and huge coral formations.

The reef is fascinating

El Cielo (Star fish)

The water here is warm and crystal clear , dotted with gem-like starfish

I can't even explain how beautiful the color of the water is , and the amount of starfish you can see is truly spectacular. El Cielo is definitely the best place to snorkel in Cozumel!

El Cielito / Sandy area

El Cielito is really like a paradise and it is very family friendly, all will enjoy, from children to grandparents!

El Cielito / Shallow area is very relaxing and the waters are super clear. Depths run from thigh height to neck height. Manta rays sometimes swim around, but they don’t bother people. I highly recommend taking a snorkel tour that ends in Cielo. It’s fantastic! There are also many beautiful starfish ! If you are looking to de-stress and forget about all your worries, this is the place to go!

The manta rays are tame and swim by, showing off for everyone. The sand is white and soft , while a shimmering sun is overhead. It’s a fun place, with music playing from the boats as people stand knee-deep in the depths and enjoy a refreshing beer or soft drink.

"What a great time. $70 for a catamaran ride from the ferry peer to near the southern tip of the island and back. Snorkel on a reef, wait service at el cielo with the star fish and then drinks on the boat. Lunch and open bar at Playa Mia Grand with access to inflatable jungle gym, beach, pools, and slides capped off a great day. Unbelievable value. What a blast and I feel like we tasted some of the best that Cozumel has to offer."

"We went there as a part of a day tour to Cozumel and Cielo, I can tell you that its a bunch of fun and the place is super family friendly, my small 3 and 5-year-old kids had a blast. No sargassum on the beach."

"The crew of the vessel very nice and service excellent/ everything perfect weather was nice a bit choppy when we got to Reef things sorta got a bit out of hand lots of new people very young and old to snorkeling. Several people required assistance which the dive masters got buoys to and back to vessel. This bunched up everybody people kicked in faces etc. We were advised to follow the red flag dive master which when assisting other divers bunched up the rest and there were a lot of people guessing 40 or more in the water .Perhaps they should divide the groups into 3 groups 1 for experienced snorkeling 2 for less experienced 3 for new divers/ and have a safety diver to get people with difficulties back to vessel. I personally will look for a smaller group to do my next snorkel."

"We booked a package through our hotel in Playa del Carmen which included transport to Cozumel, a catamaran trip to a snorkel area and a beautiful beach (cielo?) a trip to Playa Mia and return transfer back to Playa del Carmen. The catamaran staff were friendly and helpful, and the beach was absolutely breath taking. The snorkelling wasn't much - not a lot of fish - but still well organized. When we arrived at the Playa Mia Park we had just about 2 hrs to eat and play - so not a huge amount of time."

"We did a snorkel tour(planacar and el Cielo) and got to spend some hours eating, drinking and playing at this beach club. It ended up being a lot of fun and a good value."

"We all had a great time got to see stingrays, beautiful fish and good company. Everyone was very nice!"

"One of the best snorkeling spots that I have been to. Many varieties of fish. Easy on and off access to water. Helpful and fun staff. Beach was beautiful with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. "

"This was a great experience for our family. The crew was so helpful and fun. They made sure we had plenty of drinks and had a great time! We loved Stingray beach! It was a great time and a memorable experience!!"

"Excellent crew and great places to visit. Wish snorkeling was longer and less time at stingray area. Nice meal and aquatic activities at the end. Endless drinks. Definitely recommend for families with kids and groups of adults as well"

"What an amazing time! We loved every single minute of this and the crew is unbelievable. I definitely recommend this trip to anybody coming to Cozumel."

Don’t ever miss this experience!

My husband and I traveled with our (3) 20 something year old kids and my 79 year old mother. We rented the 40FT-CATAMARAN and was an amazing choice for our group. They were open to whatever we wanted to do, and we wanted to snorkel they took us to beautiful reefs, and we saw a little of everything turtles, sharks, and barracudas. Our crew Luis, Ricardo, and Donny were the best! They were so attentive and treated us like royalty. We had beer, wine, cocktails, and food galore, the ceviche was so fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to book them again when we return to Cozumel.

Everlasting memories

Best personalized experience ever at Deluxe Private Boats in Cozumel. If you want first-class treatment and don’t like cow herd tours, this company is highly recommended. Our captain Miguel was an expert at navigating the 40-foot Sea Ray. His first mate Jonathan was fantastic, keeping the glass full. They will customize your experience any way you like, from snorkeling to just parking the yacht on a beautiful sandbar where stingrays can be seen. The food was out of this world, excellent seafood. When in Cozumel, this will be the only company I book an excursion with in the future. Thank you, Adrian and team, for making everlasting memories for my family.

Jason Dooley

Deluxe – Sea Ray 40

Great outfit! I coordinated with Nelly prior to our trip, and she set everything up for us. We had the boat for 8 hours and spent some time snorkeling, on private beaches, and cruising. Then the crew took us to the shallow/calm area, blew up a huge sunning mat, and turned on the music. We had drinks and lunch there and just lounged and swam. The food was the best we had all week, fresh and beautiful presentation. Captain and crew were on point! Thanks for the great day!

Peter Brown

Five stars to Deluxe

A group of 7 of us went out for 8 hrs on the 40FT Sea Ray for snorkeling and beach cruise. This trip was by far the BEST boat trip we have been on, and we come to Cozumel a lot. The boat was meticulously maintained and absolutely beautiful. The crew was the most professional and accommodating and took amazing care of us. The food that the crew prepared for lunch was over-the-top delicious with a variety of selections and the presentation was superb. I can not say enough great things about this group. They even brought us logo Yeti cups to our house to take back with us. The absolute best experience we have had. I HIGHLY recommend DELUXE to anyone looking for the best in boating excursions.

We will definitely be boating with them in the future.

Vivian Wood

The Perfect Experience *****

It was the best experience ever! My family and I rented this amazing yacht and the crew Miguel and Jonathan were absolutely impeccable with us. The food was exquisite and the drinks that Johnathan made were on another level! I highly recommend this company if you want to have a good time free from hassles.

5 Star on every level

We took the 40-foot Sea Ray. The service was amazing. Miguel and Johnny were 5-star services. Great guides. They knew exactly where to go snorkeling and see most of the beautiful ocean. The food was probably some of the best we had all week. My family loved the experience. We look forward to returning.

Snorkeling Tours in Cozumel Mexico: FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Cozumel snorkel tours:

What should you bring on a Cozumel snorkeling tour?

Regular sunscreen is prohibited on Cozumel snorkeling excursions so you’ll want to bring biodegradable reef-safe sunscreen.

Also, be sure to bring a beach towel, a change of clothes, and cash for tips. Snorkeling gear will be provided but you can also consider bringing your own snorkel set to ensure the best fit and cleanliness.

What should you wear on a Cozumel snorkeling tour?

It’s recommended to wear a swimsuit with comfortable clothes or a coverup over your swimsuit.

And you’ll want to wear sandals or flip flops that can easily be removed before boarding the boat.

I usually prefer to wear a  one-piece swimsuit  as they provide the most coverage when dealing with life vests and snorkel equipment.

What will you get to see on a snorkeling tour in Cozumel?

On snorkel tours in Cozumel, you’ll typically be able to see colorful fish, coral formations, starfish, sea turtles, and stingrays.

The amount and variety of marine life you’ll get to see depends on the snorkeling location and sea conditions.

But in general, Cozumel is known for having some of the best snorkeling in Mexico.

Do you need a tour to snorkel in Cozumel?

No, it’s possible to snorkel off the beach and many of the  resorts in Cozumel  offer snorkeling activities.

However, the best coral reefs in Cozumel are typically only accessible by boat and so you’ll need to book a snorkeling tour to get there.

Can you snorkel on your own in Cozumel?

Yes, Cozumel shore snorkeling can be done on your own.

However, the most popular and best snorkel spots are typically only accessible by boat, so if you want to get the full experience and see the best coral reefs in Cozumel, it’s recommended to book a snorkeling tour.

Plus, Cozumel snorkeling trips also include use of equipment and the presence of a knowledgeable guide.

Do you have to pay to snorkel in Cozumel?

No, if you have your own snorkel set, snorkeling off the beach is possible in Cozumel but depending on the location, you may need to pay for access to a beach club or resort.

Is snorkeling better in Cancun or Cozumel?

When comparing  Cozumel vs Cancun , Cozumel is known for having much better snorkeling than Cancun because Cozumel is an island that is surrounded by an extensive coral reef system.

Snorkeling at Cozumel’s coral reefs is usually more diverse and colorful than the snorkeling in Cancun.

Final Thoughts: Snorkeling Cozumel Guide

I hope this Cozumel snorkeling tour guide has helped you decide which tour is right for you!

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day out on the water or an adventure-filled day exploring Cozumel’s coral reefs, there are plenty of great snorkeling tours to choose from.

My top recommendation for the best snorkeling tour in Cozumel is the  El Cielo Snorkeling Tour , where you’ll get to snorkel with giant starfish in bright turquoise waters.

But no matter which of these best Cozumel island snorkeling tours you choose, you’re sure to have an amazing experience getting an up close view of Cozumel’s vibrant underwater world.

Playa del Carmen Boat Tours: FAQs

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Playa del Carmen boat trips:

There is no marina in Playa del Carmen, so most Playa del Carmen boat rides leave from Puerto Aventuras, which is about 20 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. However, some tours also leave from Cozumel, Cancun, or Punta Maroma.

The number of people on a Playa del Carmen boat tour depends on the boat size, catamaran, or yacht. However, most group excursions have between 10-30 people on it.

You should bring your bathing suit, a beach towel , and reef-safe sunscreen or sun protection clothes. It’s also a good idea to bring a GoPro or waterproof phone pouch if you’d like to take photos on boat cruises in Playa del Carmen.

Boat trips in Playa del Carmen last between 2 and 10 hours, depending on what the boat tour involves. The boat tour will be longer if you visit other islands, like Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, or Isla Contoy. If you’re just snorkeling and cruising around, it will be shorter.

🇲🇽 Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

🏨 Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

✈️ Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

🚗 Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

🤿 Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

🚨 Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited on most snorkeling tours, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.
