About this experience
This memorable tour begins with a scenic ferry ride to Cozumel Island, followed by a relaxing boat journey through its beautiful coastal waters. One of the highlights is a visit to El Cielo, a stunning natural area famous for its crystal clear water, white sandy bottom, and rich marine life. You will stop at well known snorkeling sites such as the Colombia and Palancar reefs, where you can explore vibrant coral formations, swim with tropical fish, and spot the starfish that give El Cielo its name.
After your snorkeling experience, enjoy time at the calm and peaceful Cielito Beach, an ideal spot to rest and take in the surrounding beauty.
The tour concludes with free time in downtown Cozumel, allowing you to discover local shops, enjoy charming cafés, and experience the island’s laid back atmosphere.
