How can I get to Cozumel?

The majority of visitors each year arrive by cruise ship at one of the two main cruise ship terminal areas, Punta Langosta (a short walk from the downtown area), or either Puerta Maya or the International Cruise Ship Terminal (further down the coast, approximately 10-15 minutes by taxi from the downtown area).

Although we’re an island, we’re also still quite accessible from the mainland – and from the main international airports.

From Cancun or Cancun International Airport

Take a taxi or private transfer to Playa del Carmen ferry terminal. Most taxis will drop you outside the Paseo del Carmen Shopping Mall) – from here it’s a short 5 minute walk through the mall down to the waterfront where the ferries depart.

You can also take a coach to Playa del Carmen using ADO. They are nearly as quick as a taxi, still comfortable, and also highly affordable. Simply get a ticket from the ADO desk in the airport, and take your luggage to the designated coach meeting point outside the airport. The bus station in Playa del Carmen is a short 5 minute walk through a pedestrian area to the ferry terminal.

From here it’s about a 35-40 minute fast ferry over to the island, using either Ultramar, Winjet, or Xcaret.

Top tip: buy your tickets from the dedicated ferry ticket counter, not street sellers – and only buy the sailing time you need on arrival (since each ferry company sails at alternate time, and are a similar price).

Our main departure point and our retail store are both very close to the ferry terminal in Cozumel, you can’t miss us.

From Cozumel International Airport: it’s a short 5 or 10 minute taxi ride to either our store or main departure point.

Amazing experience with lots to see. Must admit that I was a little apprehensive about this trip as I am not confident in the sea but wanted to see the wildlife. I needn't have been!!. The boat was comfortable and the crew really considerate and helpful. They provided snorkels, masks and flippers to those that wanted them and provided a ladder for those less confident not wanting to jump in. The guide pointed out lots, including turtles, starfish and lots of other fish amongst the reef which was excellent. We then went to the marine park where they provided lunch on a surfboard amongst the giant stingrays. All in all an amazing experience which I wouldn't hesitate to do again. Thank you very much.

Best excursion BEST EXCURSION!!!! Our group had the best time snorkeling and hanging out at the sand bar with food and drinks. Seeing the sting rays at the last stop was the best part. Thanks Paco, Porkchop, Leo, and Baby Turtle!

Better than Hawaii This was the best snorkeling trip I've ever done at 71 years old! Better than the two I did in Hawaii, due to the 4 locations we visited, the knowledge of the guide, Peter and the care of the crew. We had a very professional photographer onboard who offered us beautiful pictures to buy. Then the included appetizers provided were perfect on a floating bar!

Amazing Experience The most amazing experience ever. We booked pretty last minute as a cruise excursion and it was so worth it. Baby turtle, Rafael, William, Leo were amazing and the entire Poseidon crew was so friendly and welcoming. We snorkled in the middle of a storm and they still made it an amazing experience. We saw sharks, turtles, sting rays and tons of fish. Please book here!

Fantástica experiencia en Cozumel !!! Fantástica experiencia de snórquel en Cozumel!! Lo haría una y otra vez!!!! Lo único que no me encantó fue el tiempo dedicado a cada inmersión, se siente muy muy corto! Pero se entiende un poco por las distancias a recorrer! El capitán Chuletas, y los marineros Baby Tortuga y Pedro, además de Rafa en las fotos, nos hicieron sentir súper bien y muy seguros! Sin duda, regresaré!! Muchas gracias!!

Wonderful! This was one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve had. We saw plenty of fish, turtles, a shark and at the end we had an amazing experience swimming with the sting rays and some delicious ceviche. The tour guides were very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend booking with them!

Best post Ironman workout/snorkle🐠🍤🐡 Unbelievable experience. Worth every $$. I’ve done Hawaii and Los Cabos and this one took the cake. The guide, photographer, were superb ! They took us to 4 locations, swam with a baby shark, sea turtle, starfish and stingrays . I can’t say enough amazing things. It was the perfect post workout off of the 70.3 Ironman 😍🥹thank you guys . And the food was soooo good , and such. Fun experience to eat on the water.
