Gear, lunch, and round-trip transport are included.

Expect a full day out; the ferry crossing and hotel pickup add hours, but that's what makes visiting multiple reefs and El Cielo's starfish in one trip possible.
Cozumel: El Cielo Snorkeling & Starfish Beach with LunchYou board a shared boat, snorkel two major reefs off Cozumel, then wade through starfish at El Cielo beach while the crew serves ceviche and fruit.

The boat carries a certified bilingual guide, unlimited beer and margaritas for adults, snorkeling gear, and a grilled lunch—all included. Children from age 2 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want the starfish sanctuary El Cielo as the centerpiece of your snorkel day—it's the largest in Mexico and the reason this boat fills up.

Cruise passengers must provide their ship name, and the operator guarantees a full refund if your vessel doesn't call Costa Maya port.Is it for me?Choose the private tour if your group wants the flexibility to move at your own pace and skip the shared-departure schedule; choose the shared tour if you're traveling solo or with one or two others and prefer to split the cost with other travelers. Either way, the five-hour window means you're back at your hotel or ship by early afternoon, leaving the rest of the day free.
Snorkeling in Cozumel: Three reefs, starfish sanctuarySnorkel three reefs off Cozumel on a catamaran tour with certified English and Spanish-speaking guides. The boat takes you to Palancar Reef at seven meters deep where turtles and manta rays move through coral formations, then Columbia Reef at five meters for colorful fish and coral, then finishes at Playa El Cielo — a two-meter sanctuary of starfish in white sand where the water reaches your waist. The full outing runs five to six hours and includes snorkel gear, unlimited soft drinks and beer.Is it for me?Book this if you want shallow water and starfish in the same day as deeper reef snorkeling — Playa El Cielo's two-meter wading depth means you see the starfish without needing to descend, and the two deeper reefs give you coral and larger marine life in the same outing.

You drive the routes your guide chooses, stop where the guide leads, and return to the ship on schedule. A bilingual guide rides with you; snorkeling gear and Mexican lunch are included.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to drive and explore on your own terms rather than sit on a bus—the jeep and the guide give you control over the pace while someone who knows the island handles the route. It's built for cruise passengers with a few hours to spare, not a full day on the island.
Cozumel Snorkeling: Buggy Tour with Sky Reef and BeachCozumel snorkeling combined with a self-driven buggy tour takes you off the cruise-ship circuit to a quiet beach and Sky Reef, where a certified guide leads the underwater part. The tour runs five hours total with round transportation from designated pickup points, bilingual guide commentary in English or Spanish, snorkeling gear, and a Mexican lunch included. Children from age 7 can join; all drivers need a valid license and must be at least 16.Is it for me?The bilingual guide speaks English and Spanish, so you'll follow the commentary comfortably in either language. This tour suits anyone with a valid driver's license who wants to control the pace—you're not on a bus watching the island pass by, and the beach time is unscheduled, so you decide how long to stay.
Cozumel Snorkeling: Jeep or Buggy Island Tour with Mayan RuinsA self-drive jeep or buggy tour of Cozumel where you operate the vehicle, snorkel from a Caribbean beach, and pick between San Gervasio Mayan Ruins or Punta Sur Eco Park as your cultural or natural stop. The tour runs 4.5 to 5 hours with a certified bilingual guide, full snorkel gear, oceanfront lunch, and park entrance included depending on your chosen option.Is it for me?Choose the jeep if you want automatic transmission and an easier drive; pick the buggy if you have manual transmission experience and want a more nimble vehicle. Either way, you're behind the wheel the whole time instead of watching from a passenger seat, which is what makes this different from a standard island tour—the driving itself is part of the adventure, not just the getting there.
Cozumel snorkeling: Palancar Reef and El Cielo Starfish BaySnorkel two reefs and a protected starfish bay off Cozumel with a certified bilingual PADI guide, snorkel equipment and snacks. The tour visits Colombia Reef first, then Palancar Reef, then El Cielo—a restricted-access sandbar where starfish scatter across white sand in roughly 3 feet of water. You get about 45 minutes at El Cielo, followed by a beach picnic in a secluded spot. The group stays under 25 people. Life vests are mandatory; the minimum age to snorkel is 5 years old.Is it for me?The water at El Cielo is shallow and calm, so this works for first-time snorkelers and families with children as young as 5, but life vests are mandatory and you'll need to climb a ladder back into the boat—the physical entry and exit matter more here than swimming ability.
Cozumel snorkel tour: 4 hours, 3 reefs and starfish sandbarA 4-hour snorkel tour in Cozumel for cruise passengers visits Colombia Reef, Bolones Reef and the starfish-filled El Cielo sandbar with a maximum of 12 guests, a certified bilingual guide, sanitized gear and ceviche onboard. The Back to Ship Guarantee returns you to the marina at least 90 minutes before your cruise departure, and the tour departs from Marina ASIPONA Cozumel with transportation available nearby.Is it for me?The bilingual guide speaks English and Spanish, so you can follow the commentary and safety briefing in whichever language you're comfortable with. The 4-hour window and guaranteed return time suit cruise passengers who need to be back before all-aboard, and the small group size means the guide can adjust the pace if anyone is new to snorkeling or needs extra attention in the water.

The tour includes snorkeling gear, drinks, a snack, and access to Money Bar beach club facilities afterward; guides speak English and Spanish, and children from age 3 are welcome.Is it for me?The boat moves between three reef stops with time to snorkel at each one, so you're in the water for stretches but not the whole day — it's a mix of snorkeling and resting on deck. If you want to see multiple reefs without the pace of a fast-moving tour, or if you have young children who need shallow water and breaks, this schedule holds both.
Half day and longer (19)

Buffet lunch, an open bar, cultural performances, and electric tram transport within the park are included; kayaking and paddleboarding are available subject to conditions.Is it for me?Book this if you want snorkeling, zip-lining, and water park rides all in one day—everything runs from a single location, so you move between activities on an internal tram rather than traveling across the island.
