Coming from Mainland

Coming to Cozumel from mainland Quintana Roo is not difficult, and can in fact be an enjoyable part of your experience. First we need you to get yourself to the Playa del Carmen ferry station. Your resort / hotel concierge should be able to assist with obtaining a taxi, but if not please contact us and we can arrange for a taxi pick-up. Before getting into the taxi you should agree or confirm the price. Tell the taxi driver you want to go to –

A la estacion de ferry de pasajeros de Playa del Carmen, la que cruza a cozumel

In case you do not speak Spanish, that translates to “To the passenger ferry in Playa del Carmen, the one that crosses to Cozumel.”

Once you exit the taxi you will need to walk roughly 100- 200 yards/meters to the ferry station where you can purchase your tickets. You want to purchase your tickets directly at the ferry pier, not before. If you are coming from south of the ferry (Tulum, Akumal, etc.) you will likely be dropped off at yellow marks, but if you are coming from the north (Cancun, Puerto Morelas), you will probably get dropped at the red marks (but not always – if you see a small airport then you are in the yellow area). There are three different ferry companies which make this crossing and they are reliable. Buy your tickets where the yellow and red lines merge. The operators have offical ticket boothes at this location. Ferries depart every 30 minutes every day. First ferry departing Playa del Carmen is 8am and last ferry departing to Cozmel is 10pm. Last ferry departing from Cozumel is 9pm.
