My wife and I will be in Cozumel next Saturday the 12th on a cruise stop. Looking for opinions on which is better for snorkeling, Chankanaab or Playa Palancar. We went to Chankanaab once a few years ago but didn't get to go in the water because of high winds and very rough water. Been reading some good stuff online about Palancar and we're leaning towards taking a boat trip out to the reef. Opinions please? Thanks

you must go to Chankannab Park the place to snorkel baby -- whip out to the taxi stand and head for this beautiful park. Admission is $10/person but it's worth it--a lovely way to spend the day. Restaurants, snorkel rentals, gardens and a little musuem
Get to Chankannab National Park as early as possible.

That color on your website is hard on the eyes.
Good luck with that.

I have been to Cozumel a dozen times and at leat two weeks while diving for Blue Divers. For one day, go to Chankannab Park. You should have time left over to snorkel over the plane near the cruise terminal.
