PRICE: $86

Start your experience with a scenic catamaran ride along the southern coast of Cozumel, where you can enjoy the Caribbean breeze, soak up the sun, and sip on refreshing drinks served onboard. The adventure begins at Palancar Reef (or Colombia Reef), part of the second-largest reef system in the world — the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Known as one of the best snorkeling spots in Cozumel, Palancar offers vibrant coral gardens and a wide array of marine life. With snorkeling gear included and a certified PADI guide to lead you, you’ll safely discover tropical fish, sea turtles, and more in this crystal-clear underwater paradise.

Next, cruise over to El Cielo, a shallow, iconic bay with bright turquoise waters and soft white sand. This secluded area is famous for its abundance of starfish and tranquil, Instagram-worthy setting. Take time to swim, float, or simply relax — it’s one of the most peaceful things to do in Cozumel. After your time at sea, head back to the island for a cultural and culinary treat. Enjoy a traditional Yucatecan lunch with an open bar at a local venue in downtown Cozumel. Dine in a cozy courtyard surrounded by tropical charm, and experience a live cultural performance by local musicians and dancers that showcase the island’s vibrant heritage.

Whether you’re visiting on a cruise or staying on the island, this Cozumel snorkeling excursion is the perfect way to combine adventure, relaxation, and authentic Mexican culture in one amazing day.
