Day Trip Details

Early in the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Mérida for an approximately 4.5-hour drive to the coast. From the Playa del Carmen pier, we’ll take a 30–35 minute ferry ride to Cozumel. Let the adventure begin!

Our first stop on the island will be at the Palancar and Colombia reefs, famous for their underwater richness. You’ll have one hour to snorkel and discover the biodiversity hidden in these two spectacular coral gardens.

Next, we’ll head to a true earthly paradise. Ready to explore El Cielito, a starfish sanctuary? You’ll have one hour of free time to explore the area, take a swim, snorkel again, and surround yourself with colorful fish. This shallow sandy bank with crystal-clear waters is also one of the best places to see starfish in Cozumel.

After a full day of pure relaxation in the Mexican Caribbean, we’ll recharge with a delicious lunch. The meal includes a traditional Mexican dish with breaded chicken, rice, and salad, accompanied by a beverage. Perfect to enjoy the most authentic flavors of the region!

With renewed energy, we’ll return to the ferry and begin the journey back to Playa del Carmen. Finally, from there, we’ll head back to Mérida and drop you off at your hotel after a 17-hour day trip.
