This snorkelling trip takes you from the sandy shores of Playa del Carmen to nearby Cozumel Island, a spot just offshore that's brimming with marine life – expect rays, tropical fish and more – and Caribbean views. After a ferry over to Cozumel, you'll hop on a different boat and head to a few mainstay areas in the southern part of the island. You'll snorkel at a couple of coral reefs, Palancar and Colombia, before heading to El Cielo – this spot is known for its resident giant starfish. Afterwards, you'll dock in Cozumel for some free time to explore the town centre before getting back on the return ferry to Playa del Carmen.
