Cozumel Prices & Travel Costs

Last Updated: Dec 2021

Located a short ferry ride from the mainland town of Playa del Carmen, the island of Cozumel is a popular resort destination that is focused on diving and other water sports. It has its own small airport with direct flights from some cities, but most people fly into the much larger and nearby Cancun Airport, which has lower fares and far more direct connections.
