Hop a ferry from Cancun for a Clear Boat tour that visits three Cozumel reef sites, includes snorkel gear and lunch, and leaves you two hours to explore San Miguel. Expect bright water, easy swims over coral gardens, and local cuisine after the snorkel.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ferry into the bright, humid edge of Cozumel and the sea seems to pull you forward — the boat rocks, reef flats flash below the surface, and guides point to a palette of parrotfish and coral heads. The Clear Boat slips over three reef sites, giving repeated windows into life under the waves while the warm current nudges the hull.

History
Cozumel has long been significant to the Maya and later developed as a Caribbean coral‑reef hub; marine protection measures were established to preserve its reefs.
Conservation
The reefs are part of a protected marine area — practice no‑touch snorkeling, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and follow guide anchoring instructions to avoid coral damage.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Coastal authorities enforce reef protection — use biodegradable sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Take anti‑seasickness meds if needed
The ferry and inter-reef rides can be choppy; take meds at least 30 minutes before departure.
Wear a snug mask
Loaner masks are available but a well‑fitting mask reduces fogging and lets you enjoy longer swims.
Plan your free time ashore
Use the included two hours to stroll the waterfront, grab a local dish or visit a small craft market near the ferry pier.
Personal snorkel mask
A personal mask fits better, reduces leaks, and improves underwater visibility.
