In Playa
del Carmen, there are two high-speed ferries
that shuttle people back and forth to and
from Cozumel all day long. They run
every hour, so you never have to wait long.
The ferry pier is located in downtown Playa
del Carmen, so if you're coming over from
Cozumel, you can just walk from the pier
- no additional transport needed.
If you're staying in a Playacar hotel, the
ferry pier is also within walking distance.
The ride takes about 45 minutes with the
regular ferry, or Ultramar has a new luxury
ferry that can cross in only 35 minutes depending
on weather conditions that makes traveling
back and forth between Cozumel and Playa
del Carmen a snap. This is especially
helpful for Cozumel cruise
passengers on a tight schedule looking for cruise
excursions to the many attractions on
the mainland of the
Riviera Maya such as Mayan Ruins sites.

WHERE IS THE PLAYA DEL CARMEN FERRY TERMINAL?
Location: The ferry terminal is located
right in downtown Playa del Carmen, about
a block and a half from the main square
and Plaza Playacar, where most of the tour
pickups take place. See the map at
right.
Cancun Airport: Most people coming
from the Cancun Airport use pre-reserved Airport Transfers. They'll bring
you as far as the ferry pier. Then
you'll just ride the ferry to Cozumel.
Once in Cozumel, you'll take a taxi to your
hotel. They're right there waiting
for you at the ferry terminal. Very
easy. It takes about 45 minutes to
drive to Playa del Carmen from the Cancun
Airport.
Mainland Hotel Guests: We recommend
taking a taxi to the hotel pier unless you're
staying downtown, within walking distance
to the pier. It takes about an hour from
Cancun, 30 minutes from Puerto Morelos,
15 minutes from Puerto Aventuras, and 25
minutes from Akumal.
Calica Cruise Passengers: Take a
taxi from the Calica cruise pier.
It only takes about 8-10 minutes, and costs
about $8.00 USD.
Parking: There are two street level parking lots and an underground parking garage within a short walk of the ferry pier. Learn More.

Tip: Only buy a one-way ferry ticket. There
are two ferry companies, and they don't
accept each other's tickets. Doing
only one-way leaves you flexibility to ride
one ferry on the way there and the other
on the way back.
WHERE IS THE COZUMEL FERRY?
Location: The ferry terminal is
located right in downtown Cozumel, at the
extension of Av. Lic. Benito Juarez, across
from Palmeras Restaurant.
Cozumel Hotel Guests: You can walk there
from anywhere in San Miguel (downtown).
From areas outside of town, you'll just take
a taxi from your hotel or where ever you happen
to be on the island. Taxis are readily
available all over Cozumel. Very easy.
Cruise Passengers: A taxi to the ferry
pier from the Puerta Maya or International Pier
should cost about $6.00 USD and take about 7
minutes. If your cruise ship is arriving
at Punta Langosta, then you can just walk
about 5 minutes down the road to the ferry
(roughly 6 blocks).
Parking: In Cozumel, street parking near the ferry pier is typically available on the main road, and there is a parking garage at MEGA to the north and at Punta Langosta cruise pier about 5 blocks to the south. Easiest is to take a taxi.
