Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Cozumel call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 4 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 9:06 am and be back at the gangway around 1:52 pm — 1 h 38 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 2:52 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

The start point (Playa Palancar Cozumel Beach Club) is about 13 km from Puerta Maya, roughly 46 min by taxi each way — that travel time is already counted above.

Among the 400 Cozumel shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 4 h); 90% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Cozumel call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
