Cozumel Zipline Adventure: Fly a 2,400-ft Canopy Circuit Near the Cruise Ports
Soar across 2,400 feet of canopy on a six-line zipline circuit just minutes from Cozumel’s cruise piers. This accessible, 55-minute aerial tour mixes lowland jungle, coastal views, and bilingual guides for a quick, high-adrenaline shore excursion.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early from the pier
Taxis take about 5–10 minutes from the main cruise terminals; factor in time for check-in and the safety briefing.
Wear secure footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good grip prevent harness chafing and help on the ladder climbs to platforms.
Sun and hydration
Bring sunscreen and a small refillable bottle; purified water is provided but you’ll sweat in the tropical heat.
Follow guide instructions
Guides run a strict safety protocol—stay clipped, listen to hand signals, and don’t attempt stunts.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Punta Langosta pier for sunset views and local fish tacos a short walk from the meeting point
- •Parque Benito Juárez and nearby seafood stands—great for a post-tour meal away from tourist crowds
Wildlife
- •Green iguanas
- •Tropical coastal birds (frigatebirds and local passerines)
Conservation Note
Operators on the island tend to follow strict weight and safety protocols and encourage no-feeding and stay-on-platform rules to minimize wildlife disturbance; visitors should avoid littering and use provided lockers for trash.
Cozumel was an island of pilgrimage for the Maya and later a fishing and trading outpost; its coral-limestone base supports the scrubby coastal canopy you zip through.
