The 6 Best Cozumel Jeep & ATV Tours [2024 Reviews]

Famous for its rich environment, beautiful animals, and incredible snorkeling, the island of Cozumel is not one to miss. While boat tours are common, there’s so much to do on land that you’d be missing out if you didn’t explore it as well.

One of the best ways to get to know this area is off-roading, because we all know a paved road isn’t typically the most exciting.

Instead, we encourage you to take one of the top Cozumel jeep, 4×4, and ATV tours out there! Each one of these are highly-rated not just by us, but by countless other explorers!

Cozumel Tour Reviews

1. cozumel private jeep tour with lunch and snorkeling.

  • Duration: 5 hours
  • Departure:  Varies depending on the tour selected
  • Departure Time: Varies
  • Includes: Hotel or port pick-up and drop off, local guide, fuel surcharge, beers, soda and water in the vehicle, Mexican meals, use of snorkeling equipment, tequila tour, extended time at beach and stops

To start things off, we bring you the ever-popular Cozumel Private Jeep Tour with Lunch and Snorkeling. If you want to see all over the island without getting stuck in a crowded bus or going on a generic tour, then this is a great choice for you.

The tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly, and you’re bound to have a ton of fun exploring a wide array of unique spots that many tourists don’t get to see!

While traveler pickup is offered, your meetup point will vary depending on if you’re meeting at Punta Langosta, Puerta Maya Pier, or International Pier. If you are at least 18 years of age with a valid driver’s license, you’ll be able to get behind the wheel of the Jeep.

Otherwise, you do have a guide that can drive you. Regardless, it’s going to be a load of fun and you don’t have to just get stuck into someone else’s tour plans.

Instead, you’ll get to plan your own itinerary, which can include horseback riding, shopping, eating, seeing wildlife, jet skiing, and much more.

If you’re interested in learning more about Mayan culture, you’ll love this tour. The San Gervasio Mayan Archaeological Site can’t be missed, which lies inside the Quintana Roo State Park.

These ruins were where Mayan women visited to pay tribute to their goddess of love and fertility, Ixchel. Beginning around 100 BC, this is a holy site that is simply fascinating.

You’ll drive roads through the forest, where you may just spot some tropical birds and other animals. Once you reach the Caribbean sea, you’ll be able to choose to snorkel with marine life, or simply relax on the sand and take in some rays.

Afterward, you and your group will enjoy some authentic Mexican cuisine, which is sure to replenish your energy supply! Afterward, head to a tequila factory, where they’ll explain how it’s distilled, and how each gets its own flavor.

More Information & Tour Booking

100% refund for cancellations within 24 hours of tour experience, 2. cozumel: atv adventure to jade cavern.

  • Duration: 3.5 hours
  • Departure: Local partner’s office
  • Departure Time: 10:30 am or 12:30 pm
  • Includes: All entrance fees and admissions, bottled water, helmet, bilingual guides

While Jeeps are certainly fun, ATVs offer a bit more independence as it will hold 1-2 people only. They’re also much smaller, meaning that they can go to places Jeeps cannot reach. The Cozumel ATV Adventure to Jade Cavern is a blast, even if you’ve never driven an ATV before!

Just like with the last tour, you’ll be able to plan your own tour more or less, choosing how long you’d like to stay at each stop. Meet your guide at the designated meeting point along with the rest of your group at either 10:30 am or 12:30 pm, depending on which time you select.

Before you hop on your vehicle, your guide will walk you through a safety briefing to make sure everyone has fun and to minimize risk of injury. This tour includes a helmet, though it’s a smart idea to bring a bandana, goggles (sometimes mud or dust can get in the eyes), and clothing that can get dirty.

The tour reception does offer lockers to keep your valuables safe, as well as closed-toe sandals for rent. You’ll ride through all kinds of trails as you make your way to a cenote , which is a deep kind of tropical swimming hole which is located underground/in a cave!

Just seeing one is an unforgettable experience, but you’ll actually be able to swim in it! This cenote is connected to various underground tunnels, so once you’re finished swimming, you’ll head through the coral cave.

Your guide will tell you all about this area, including the native people who once lived there. Water bottles and photos taken by pro photographers are offered throughout the journey as well.

3. Cozumel Island: Half-Day Private Jeep Tour and Eco Park

  • Duration: 6 hours
  • Departure: Varies, depending on the port/dock you choose
  • Departure Time: Varies (many options available)
  • Includes: Bilingual guide, tequila tasting, cooler with beers, water and soda in the Jeep, entrance fees, snorkel guide and equipment, gas and mileage

The ATV tours are an absolute blast, but you should know that the Mexican Caribbean can get very hot and humid! Some people prefer a more plush way to travel, which is what you’ll get with the luxury Jeeps on the Half-Day Private Jeep Tour and Eco Park Tour .

Not only do they have air conditioning but they also have a stocked cooler with beer, water, and soda! As we’ve almost come to expect from the area, the tour guides are incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and know how to get everyone to have some fun!

Your first stop will be at a tequila tasting, which really is the right way to start off any Mexican tour. Once there, you’ll learn all about the distilling process of one of Mexico’s most famous spirits. Of course, you’ll also be able to taste their creations, too!

Once you’ve thoroughly enjoyed the tequila, you’ll set off to Cozumel’s east side to a virgin beach. As you can imagine, this spot allows for incredible photos and videos – just make sure that you also take in the gorgeous vistas without your camera, too.

Next up, is Punta Sur Eco Park, which is full of sights to see.

You’ll see El Caracol, or “The Observatory”, which whistles when strong winds blow through it, signaling to the Maya that a hurricane was near. This was important, as anyone who’s been to the Caribbean knows how quickly weather can change.

You’ll also see a beautiful lagoon with crocodiles (don’t worry, you’ll be at a safe distance), a navigation museum, and incredible sea and jungle views from a lighthouse.

If that weren’t enough, you’ll then go over to the renowned Chankanaab Park where you have access to the ocean, a botanical garden, Mayan archaeological area, pool, and a sea lion show!

4. Cozumel Jeep Safari with Beach Lunch and Snorkeling

  • Departure:  Puerta Maya/International Pier, meet at Plaza Maya. For Punta Langosta, the entrance to Starbucks on the plaza
  • Includes:  Shared transportation by 4-passenger jeep, certified guide, stop at the Punta Sur Ecological Park, visit to the Punta Celarain lighthouse, lunch at a beach club, optional swimming/snorkeling (snorkeling gear included), tequila tour and tasting, water, soda, and beer, gas and mileage

The Cozumel Jeep Safari with Beach Lunch and Snorkeling tour is one of those experiences that make you feel like you’re in a movie. You’ll travel all over the island to see Mayan ruins, eco parks, enjoy delicious eats, and so much more. By the time you’re done with this 5-hour tour, you’re sure to sleep well!

Hop into a cool Jeep as either a passenger or driver, so long as you’re 18+ and have a valid driver’s license! You’ll have professional guides there to lead you along the right path, traveling over the rugged roads of Cozumel.

We found the Jeeps to be in excellent condition, both inside and out, and are incredibly comfortable. Not only that, but the large windows offer uninterrupted views of the island.

The bilingual guides will tell you all about the history of the area, and if you have any questions, we’re confident they’ll be able to answer them.

Head to the Punta Sur Eco Park, where you’ll learn all about how the park and government manage to conserve this incredible area that’s home to countless ruins, flora and fauna, and more.

Afterward, you’ll continue on to the Punta Celarain lighthouse, climbing to the top should you choose where you’ll get some of the best views of the Caribbean!

The lighthouse is also part of a nautical museum, which is quite educational. This area also has the Mayan ruins of El Caracol, which alone, is worth going to see!

After this, you’ll head over to the Colombia Lagoon, which is a park consisting of a lagoon connected by an underground tunnel to the sea.

This area is great for snorkeling and diving, but even if you don’t get in the water, it’s a stunning place. Here, you’ll get to see the ecosystem which maintains the reef system in the area.

Later on, you’ll get to a pristine, white sand beach where you can choose to just relax or snorkel with some tropical sea critters. After all this adventuring, partake in a delicious traditional Mexican lunch with a sea view, and then a tequila tasting.

5. Cozumel 4×4 Tour to Mayan Cacao Company and Bee Sanctuary

  • Departure: The exit to the ferry dock, by the “Monumento de las Golondrinas”
  • Includes:  Shared transportation by ATV, guide, entrance fees, fuel costs

So, we have done ATV tours and Jeep tours so far, but we have yet to cover 4×4 tours. That is, until now, where we’ll cover the 4×4 Tour to Mayan Cacao Company and Bee Sancturary !

Riding or driving an all-terrain vehicle made for 4 passengers is a ton of fun, and allows you to have a more in-depth experience where there are no windows to separate you from the rich culture and beauty the island has to offer.

This 6-hour tour sure packs a lot in, and we can assure you that you won’t even have time to think of boredom. After you meet up with your guide, they’ll provide you with a safety briefing along with tips for how to best navigate your ATV. You’ll also be provided with any safety equipment at this time.

You’ll make a stop at The Mayan Cacao Company, which is full of interesting attractions. Here, you’ll be able to visit a real Mayan house, where you will learn all about their day-to-day life, traditions, gardening techniques, and more.

The gallery tells many stories, including where cocoa started and was discovered, how the Mayans used the beans as currency, and how chocolate was reserved at this time for the local emperors and priests.

You will see how chocolate is produced, which will have you questioning why Hershey’s bars are considered to be chocolate!

Next up, you’ll get to see the Mayan Bee Sanctuary where you’ll walk through a lush path to the jungle sanctuary after being “purified” by a local shaman. This is done to remove any subconscious negativity you may hold against bees and maintain a peaceful atmosphere.

You’ll get to learn just how powerful honey is, and how it is used in various methods of healing. Along with that, they’ll teach you about stingless bees and how important they are to the Mayans.

After this, you’ll head to El Pescador, where you’ll enjoy a flavorful, authentic Mexican Caribe lunch. The views here are incredible, and at this point you can choose to relax on the beach or even take a swim!

6. Cozumel Mayan Jungle Jeep Ride to Jade Caverns and Snorkel

  • Departure: Varies, depending on cruise terminal
  • Includes:  Water, local guide, snorkel equipment, entrance fees

We’re back again with another Jeep tour! This time we bring you the Mayan Jungle Jeep Ride to Jade Caverns and Snorkel tour! Just like the others, either you or another person in your group will take control of the wheel to head out into a jungle adventure.

You’ll navigate around twisting paths, lush forests, while you head to El Cedral: home to the oldest Mayan ruins on the island.

You’ll meet your guide at a central location, depending on which cruise terminal you select. They’ll offer a brief about driving on the island and what you can expect. Just the drive is a blast, and it’s the perfect choice for everyone from the adrenaline junkie to the homebody.

Once you reach El Cedral, you’ll get to learn all about the interesting history of the pueblito. Once the capital of the island, it was discovered by the Conquistadors in 1518.

The Spaniards in the 1500s, and the US Army Corps of Engineers during WWII, destroyed much of the Mayan architecture, including temples. However, there are still ruins remaining that are must-sees.

You’ll next make a stop at the Jade Caverns, where you’ll visit a cenote. Here, you can choose to just relax and take in the experience, or jump right into the cenote! Once you’re all dried off, you’ll climb back into your Jeep and head onto an off-road journey through the jungle.

Once you’re out of the jungle, you’ll go to a renowned tequila distillery where they’ll teach you about its history and just how they make the tequila. After this, you’ll make a stop at Tortugas Beach Club, where you’ll snorkel around Dzul-Ha reef.

Your Travel Guide to Cozumel

It’s not just snorkeling that you can enjoy in Cozumel, but there are some details about a vacation in this sun-lover’s dreamland that you should know before you start buying plane tickets and booking accommodations. Let’s look at when you should go, how you can get around, and more.

When to Visit Cozumel

Getting around cozumel, staying safe in cozumel, what to pack for your trip to cozumel, saving money while in cozumel, knowing local customs.

The best time to visit Cozumel is between mid-February and mid-July. During this time, the temperatures aren’t scorching but you will see plenty of sunshine and warmth. You will also be avoiding hurricane season and the rainy season.

During the warm, dry season mentioned above that you want to visit during, there are some time periods you want to avoid, however. Of course, if you can only stay a few days, try to stay mid-week as prices will be lower and you can avoid weekend crowds. Also, try to avoid the Spring Break rush of college students in the area.

While you can choose to rent a car, if you’d like, the expense really isn’t necessary and if you aren’t familiar with the area, it can be a bit hectic trying to get around in an unfamiliar city in an unfamiliar country via car.

If you want wheeled transportation, you can always take taxis, which are very popular, or if you are trying to sightsee, there are many moped rentals since they are widespread around hotels and especially around attractions.

However, the best way to get around Cozumel is still going to be on foot. You can take your time to look around, take in the many sights, sounds, and wonder food smells of the city and take as many pictures as you would like. So, be sure to bring good walking shoes and wear them often.

Whenever you are on vacation to a hot tourist spot in another country, you want to take certain safety precautions.

Always keep your head about you: this means partaking in adult beverages to have fun but not going overboard so that you can keep your wits, not showing off expensive cameras or flashy jewelry, and always having identification on you.

If you will be enjoying the snorkeling tours and other outdoor sports, it is a good idea to also invest in traveler’s health insurance just in case of accidental injury or if someone in your family or group gets sick.

You want to know that you can be seen by a local doctor or at a hospital and not end up with a medical bill for a simple visit.

Be sure to bring walking shoes as well as sandals for the beach. You also want to bring a beach bag that can get sand in it or is made of mesh so it won’t hold sand at all. Have beach clothes as well as everyday walking around clothes.

You might also want to bring a set or two of nicer clothes in case you want to visit a nicer restaurant or two or even one of the many clubs around Cozumel.

Most attractions, restaurants, small vendors, and more will take both pesos, which is the local currency in Cozumel, as well as the American dollar. However, if you pay in pesos, you will most likely be getting a better deal.

If you take money out at an ATM, you will be getting pesos anyway so there’s no need to change them over to dollars even though you may be more comfortable paying for things that way and will know more about how much you are paying for things.

The best bet is to download an easy-to-use app onto your smartphone that will allow you to quickly convert pesos to your currency of choice so you know exactly how much you are spending on things in a currency you are familiar with.

Try to avoid spending money on the piers as most of them are tourist traps. Because all of the cruise lines unload on the piers, most of those tourists spend a lot of money there and the locals know this so the prices are higher.

You’re better off spending money closer to downtown. However, when on your snorkeling tours, this might not be avoided so bring as much as you can with you, like your sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. Most of them will provide snacks and drinks or a way to purchase them.

Because this is a tourist spot, most locals know English, or at least enough to communicate with the tourists. However, it will really help if you can know at least a few phrases.

  • Hola – Hello
  • Adios – Goodbye
  • Please – Por favor
  • Thank you – Gracias

Knowing a few local phrases will help put you in the good graces, so to speak, with the locals you interact with, even if you are just buying a bottle of water.

This area is very conservative so you won’t find any nude beaches. Even untying the strings on the back of your bikini so you don’t have tan lines is frowned on. This is even if you are lying face down and tie them before getting back up. Make sure you are decent at all times.

It’s not really a custom but tourists shouldn’t drink the tap water. You can get very sick. Even use bottled water to brush your teeth.

It’s Time to Pack Your Trip to Cozumel!

Are you ready to spend some time in the sun? The resorts, beaches, fun attractions… and yes, even your snorkeling tour adventure… is awaiting you in Cozumel. So, get packing!

I hope this guide was helpful for finding the best Cozumel jeep and ATV tours to fit your needs. If you want to comment or recommend a tour I didn’t include, please use my contact form  to get in touch.

Remember; be safe, and stay within your limits and most of all enjoy your time in Cancun!

What is the best Cozumel Jeep and Snorkel Tour?

Snorkeling is a very entertaining recreational activity that can be practiced by literally anyone that has decent swimming skills.

Although it looks similar to scuba diving, snorkeling is different because you don’t have to get involved in long training sessions to master it and you don’t need costly and heavy equipment to start exploring the beauties of the sea.

In case you love water, enjoy swimming, and you want to learn more about underwater life, then snorkeling is the best activity for you. Cozumel is one of the best islands for snorkeling enthusiasts because this place has dozens of exciting snorkeling spots.

What makes this Jeep and Snorkel Tour so unique?

Instead of creating your snorkeling tour, which can be quite tricky and expensive, you should choose an organized Cozumel Jeep and Snorkel Tour. A few operators are offering such tours in Cozumel, but My Jeep Tours is the best and official jeep tour in cozumel .

First of all, you will explore the island in a fun way on an open new Jeep Wrangler vehicle. You can ask your guide to drive the Jeep, or you can drive it on your own. One car can carry up to 5 passengers. You will visit some natural parks, beaches, and a few exciting places before you arrive at the snorkeling spot.

Another thing that is great about this tour in Cozumel is that you will take to a snorkeling spot on a private beach; this means that you won’t be distracted by the presence of other people and you can enjoy the exploration of the underwater world in Cozumel.

The fact is that many places around Cozumel have strong currents. That’s why you need to use an organized jeep excursion for My Jeep Tour. As we said, the trip will get you to a private beach known for its excellent snorkeling conditions.

Discover the very best that Cozumel has to offer as you drive round the whole island on this scenic Jeep adventure.

Snorkel a shallow reef, enjoy a beach break and amazing ocean views, see a small Mayan ruin, have an authentic Mexican lunch, look for crocodiles, climb an historic lighthouse and learn about tequila.

After your guide greets and briefs you at your convenient meeting point,  you'll jump aboard your Jeep and head off in a caravan with your fellow adventurers and the guide leading the way.

You'll enjoy a scenic drive along and a stunning coastal road on your way to the first stop at the beautiful Punta Sur Eco Park , an ecological reserve on the island's southernmost tip.

Upon arrival you will visit El Caracol , a small Mayan ruin which in the past, remarkably, was used as a weather warning system.

Afterwards, look for crocodiles from an observation tower and discover the Colombia Lagoon which feeds and provides balance to the coral reef formations.

Next you'll enjoy some off-roading to the beach, but not before visiting the 20th century lighthouse along the way, which you can climb if you wish and enjoy the panoramic views from the top.

When you arrive to Punta Sur's beach club your jaw is sure to drop, as you see the beautiful long curved stretch of pure white sand for the first time. Here you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean for a beginner's snorkel experience, or simply relax at the beach club if you prefer.

NOTE: Very occasionally Marine Park restrictions may mean it is not possible to snorkel at Punta Sur, in which case snorkeling will take place at another excellent location.

Certified guides will provide safety tips and instruction to the snorkelers before leading you out to see the colorful tropical fish and delightful array of sea life Cozumel has to offer.

By this time you'll be getting hungry, so you'll jump back in your Jeeps for a little more off-roading before stopping for lunch at a restaurant with amazing ocean views on Cozumel's east coast, known locally as "The Other Side".

Tuck in to a deliciously tasty authentic Mexican meal of chicken, beef, fish or vegetable fajitas. The food is included and drinks are available to purchase too.

Next you continue your drive along the famous east coast. Take in the breathtaking views as you look out across white sand beaches, rock formations and the wide open Caribbean Sea.

After driving through the downtown area to see how locals live you'll make your last stop at the tequila tasting where you'll learn how Mexicans turn a spiky plant into their national drink and get to try some amazing drinks (for the Jeep drivers they're without alcohol!)

Finally, you'll finish back at your cruise terminal, accommodation or other convenient drop-off point. Tired and happy you'll say goodbye to the new friends you made on the tour and that night you'll be dreaming about coming back and doing it all again!

This tour is also available by Dune Buggy .

🇲🇽 Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

🏨 Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

✈️ Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

🚗 Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

🤿 Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

🚨 Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited when swimming in the ocean and cenotes in Mexico, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Since the tour is just for your group, you get to decide exactly where to go and how long to stay.

This tour is consistently rated very highly for customer satisfaction so I know you’ll love it.

5. Best Power Snorkel with Sea Scooters Tour

Sunken ship by sea scooters.

The best place to snorkel in Cozumel with a bit of speed.

TOUR LENGTH:  4.5 hours | 🗸  Book it!

I can’t decide what’s the best part about the Sunken Ship by Sea Scooters tour – the incredible fun of snorkeling with a sea scooter, the super cool shipwreck, or the amazing Mexican lunch.

Not many snorkeling tours go see the shipwreck, so this is a somewhat unique opportunity. The tour starts at a restaurant near downtown. After a briefing on how to use the sea scooters, you’ll set out for the sunken ship.

After making your way back to shore, you’ll get a short cooking lesson on how to prepare a delicious Mexican snack. Your friends back home will be impressed with your new cooking skills. Next is some tequila tasting with a tequila expert.

Finally, it’s time for lunch. You’ll enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant before returning to the origination point.

One thing’s for sure, it all adds up to an amazing day.

Wonderful Experience

This was the perfect excursion option. The views were amazing and there were lots of sea life to view. I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it. -Tyler_R

6. Best Snorkeling and ATV Combo Tour

Atv mud kicking and snorkeling.

One of the best Cozumel snorkeling tours – with a bit of mud.

All in all it’s a great way to spend the day in Cozumel.

Our guides made these experiences so wonderful. ATVs into the jungle. I jumped in a cenote from 25ft above. We saw wildlife. Our snorkel tour was awesome. I even got to see a barracuda. – Thomas_J

The guides will be taking photographs and videos that you’ll receive after the tour. This is a unique tour you’ll always remember.

Our night snorkeling experience was one of our favorite experiences in Cozumel! We saw king crabs, sting rays, octopus, squid, moray eels, a starfish, and many other types of fish. It was an amazing experience. -Natalie_S

8. Best Snorkel and E-Bike Tour

E-bike west coast snorkeling tour.

TOUR LENGTH:  3 hours | 🗸  Book it!

E-Bike West Coast Snorkeling Tour is a fun change from the usual island tours. Each person rides their own e-bike out of town. You get to see parts of the island some locals never see!

After a ride along the coast and exploring a cenote, you’ll stop at a beautiful beach club for snorkeling, lunch, and relaxing on the beach.

You can choose to ride back with the group or stay at the beach club on your own for some more swimming, snorkeling, eating – whatever you choose. It’s a fun twist to the regular island tour you’re sure to love.

This bike tour for our family of six adults was a highlight of our vacation on Cozumel with its high entertainment value and our excellent tour guide, Carlos! We will absolutely do this tour again! -Jody_D

10. Best Tour For People Who Don’t Want to Get Wet

Invisible boat snorkeling adventure.

One of the best snorkel tours in Cozumel – with amazing views.

Invisible Boat Snorkeling Adventure is the perfect solution for groups of people where some people want to swim and some don’t. You have the option to snorkel or stay dry in the boat while seeing all the fish, turtles, coral, and more.

It takes the glass-bottom boat concept to a new extreme. The boat is completely translucent so you’ll feel like you’re flying over the water.

Whether you get in the water or stay in the boat, you’ll see all the fish and sea life and have an amazing day.

Beyond perfect for our family. I thought the boat would be a little hokey. It was seriously very cool. If you’re nervous about getting in the water…. Perfect solution. And you can still get in the water. -Mary_G

Getting to Cozumel

To get to Cozumel you have a couple of options. The easiest way is to fly directly into Cozumel International Airport (CZM). Many major airlines offer flights to Cozumel from various cities in the United States and other countries. Once you arrive at the airport, you can easily reach your destination on the island by shuttle .

Another option is to fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN), which is a popular gateway to the region. From Cancun, you’ll need to make your way to Playa del Carmen , which is about an hour’s drive south of Cancun. There are several transportation options available, including private shuttles , taxis, and public buses (ADO) .

Once you reach Playa del Carmen , you can catch a ferry to Cozumel. The ferry ride takes approximately 45 minutes, and there are multiple departures throughout the day. The ferry companies operating this route include Ultramar and Winjet. The tickets can be purchased at the ferry terminal or online in advance.

If you’re vacationing in Playa del Carmen, the ferry makes it easy to take a day trip over to Cozumel for some snorkeling .

When to Visit Cozumel

The best time to visit Cozumel for snorkeling is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April. During this time, the weather is generally sunny and the water visibility is at its best. The water temperature is also quite comfortable, ranging from 77°F (25°C) to 82°F (28°C).

However, it’s worth noting that Cozumel can be quite busy with tourists during the peak season, which is from December to February. If you prefer a quieter experience, visiting in the shoulder seasons of November or April may be a good option.

I’ve snorkeled year-round in Cozumel and it’s nearly always wonderful. Occasionally if a storm comes through the water will be a bit cloudy but it clears up quickly.

The Mesoamerican Reef System

The Mesoamerican Reef system is the second-largest barrier reef in the world and stretches over 1,000 kilometers along the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.

It is a major attraction for snorkelers in Cozumel due to its incredible biodiversity and vibrant coral formations. Snorkeling in Cozumel allows you to explore a small portion of this magnificent reef system , which is home to over 500 species of fish and 65 species of coral.

The crystal-clear waters of Cozumel provide excellent visibility, making it an ideal destination for snorkelers of all skill levels.

Tips For Snorkeling In Cozumel

  • Choose the right location: Cozumel offers numerous snorkeling spots, so it’s important to choose the right one based on your skill level and preferences. By taking a snorkel tour, you’ll be sure to go to a great spot.
  • Bring your own gear: While there are plenty of places to rent snorkeling gear in Cozumel if you have your own equipment, it’s always best to bring it along. This way, you can ensure a proper fit and have gear that you’re comfortable with.
  • If you’re going to be snorkeling a few times on your trip, buying your own equipment may be cheaper than renting. I like this set . It’s not too expensive but really good quality.
  • Use a rash guard : Even with sunscreen, your skin can quickly burn. Wear a rash guard to protect yourself from the sun.
  • Apply sunscreen: Make sure to choose reef-safe sunscreen to minimize any potential damage to the coral reefs in case you end up back in the water.
  • Respect the marine life: Cozumel is home to a diverse range of marine life, including colorful fish, turtles, and coral reefs. It’s important to respect their habitat and avoid touching or disturbing them. Remember, you’re a guest in their environment.
  • Stay hydrated: Snorkeling can be physically demanding, so it’s important to stay hydrated. Bring along a refillable water bottle and drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your snorkeling adventure.
  • Follow local regulations: Cozumel has specific regulations in place to protect its marine ecosystem. Make sure to follow any guidelines or restrictions set by the local authorities to help preserve the reef system for future generations.

Responsible Snorkeling in Cozumel

Responsible snorkeling in Cozumel is important to ensure the preservation of the marine ecosystem. Here are some tips for snorkeling responsibly:

  • Respect the marine life: Avoid touching or disturbing the coral reefs and marine animals. Keep a safe distance and observe them from afar.
  • Use reef-safe sunscreen : Regular sunscreen can contain harmful chemicals that can damage coral reefs. Opt for reef-safe sunscreen that is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.
  • Do not feed the fish: Feeding fish can disrupt their natural feeding patterns and can lead to dependency on humans for food. Let them find their own food sources.
  • Do not collect souvenirs: It is illegal to collect or remove any marine life or coral from the reefs in Cozumel. Leave everything as you found it to preserve the ecosystem.
  • Practice good buoyancy control: Avoid touching or standing on the coral reefs as this can cause damage. Maintain good buoyancy control and swim with a relaxed and gentle kick.

By snorkeling responsibly, you can help protect the beautiful marine life and coral reefs in Cozumel for future generations to enjoy.

What to Bring for Snorkeling in Cozumel

Bringing your own snorkel gear means that the mask will fit right and the snorkel hasn’t been in hundreds of mouths. (Yes, they disinfect them, but still … ick.)

Also, all snorkels are not created equal. Some let more water in through the top and into your mouth. It’s much better to have a snorkel designed to decrease water intake.

If you want to bring your own snorkel gear, here’s what you need:

Snorkel, mask, and fins. This is a good mid-range set with a dry-top snorkel .

Tours will provide life jackets on request. If you’re going to be snorkeling on your own, this is a good compact, inflatable snorkel vest :

A rash guard is great for protecting your skin from the sun . It will also help you use less sunscreen.

Reef-safe sunscreen will keep you and the coral protected.

Water shoes will protect your feet from rocky beaches. They’re also great for slippery boat docks.
