🌴 Designed for Cruise Ship Guests Visiting Cozumel This private excursion is structured to fit comfortably within typical cruise ship schedules, giving you plenty of time to explore Cozumel’s most beautiful offshore locations without rushing. Your journey begins at Puerto de Abrigo or a convenient south-central meeting location, where your bilingual captain welcomes you aboard a comfortable speedboat designed for small groups seeking privacy and flexibility. From the moment you leave the marina, you’ll experience a more authentic side of Cozumel — one that many large group excursions simply can’t offer.

🚤 Scenic Caribbean Speedboat Journey to El Cielo Your adventure begins with a scenic ride across the Caribbean Sea as you cruise along Cozumel’s spectacular coastline. Enjoy panoramic views of turquoise waters, coral reef formations, and distant white-sand beaches while your captain shares local insights and highlights along the way. After approximately 45 minutes, you’ll arrive at the legendary El Cielo — a pristine shallow-water sanctuary located about twelve nautical miles offshore. The name “El Cielo,” meaning “heaven” or “sky,” perfectly captures the surreal beauty of this natural wonder, where the water appears so clear and blue it almost merges with the horizon.

🤿 Snorkel Among Starfish and Vibrant Marine Life Slip into calm, shallow water and discover one of the most unique snorkeling environments in the Caribbean. El Cielo is known worldwide for its abundance of starfish resting on the sandy seabed, along with colorful tropical fish and gentle marine species that thrive in this protected ecosystem. The water is typically warm, clear, and shallow — making it perfect for beginners, casual snorkelers, and experienced ocean lovers alike. Your captain will guide you to the best spots while encouraging responsible marine practices to help preserve the delicate ecosystem. As you float over the sandy bottom, you’ll see why this location is consistently ranked among the top snorkeling destinations in Cozumel for cruise passengers and private boat excursions.

🏖️ Relax on Secluded White Sand Beaches After snorkeling, enjoy free time to relax in waist-deep turquoise waters or lounge along the peaceful shoreline. Unlike crowded public beaches, El Cielo offers a serene atmosphere where you can unwind, take photos, and fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Caribbean. Take a refreshing swim, stroll the pristine shoreline, or simply float under the warm Caribbean sun — this is your private escape designed around your pace and preferences.

🍹 Personalized Experience with Optional Refreshments & Lunch Because this is a private tour, your captain can tailor the experience to your group’s interests. Depending on your selected package or preferences, you may enjoy welcome refreshments, light snacks, or a casual beach-style lunch during your excursion.
