Do this because

You get to snorkel with giant starfish at the shallow sandbar of El Cielo

There's some free time on Cozumel for you to wander around and do some souvenir shopping

What to expect

This snorkelling trip takes you from the sandy shores of Playa del Carmen to nearby Cozumel Island, a spot just offshore that's brimming with marine life – expect rays, tropical fish and more – and Caribbean views. After a ferry over to Cozumel, you'll hop on a different boat and head to a few mainstay areas in the southern part of the island. You'll snorkel at a couple of coral reefs, Palancar and Colombia, before heading to El Cielo – this spot is known for its resident giant starfish. Afterwards, you'll dock in Cozumel for some free time to explore the town centre before getting back on the return ferry to Playa del Carmen.

Excellent

we absolutely loved this experience from start to finish the staff on the trip were amazing the snacks and drinks provided were lovely aswell and the atmosphere on the boat was so good. We saw so many animals when we went snorkelling which really made the trip but i would recommend to anyone thinking about it it was a 10/10 trip

Magnifique seul dommage de ne pas pouvoir mettre de la crème solaire même bio , je comprend qu'il faut protéger la nature mais aujourd'hui nous sommes brûlé et contraint de rester enfermé. Le passage avec les raies était pour ma part un peu long. Sinon une expérience au top avec un guide et un équipage excellent. Merci pour ce beau moment passé
