Review of Cozumel’s El Cielo and Palancar snorkel cruise, beach party, lunch, drinks, water park, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Can’t say enough good things about this trip! My wife and I took the ferry from Playa to come over to Cozumel for the day. The whole crew on the catamaran was very welcoming and a ton of fun. Their guidance for snorkeling was spot on and the private beach and burgers to close it out was excellent! Would definitely recommend!”

It's about a 5 minute taxi ride at a cost of $9-00USD (could likely be a tourist price). We were extremely nervous on arrival at the marina - it looks somewhat run down. The boat also looked as though it had seen better days. So - that was the worrying part. However, once on board everything was wonderful. It's about 20 minutes to the most southerly reef we visited.
