Flying from Cancun to Cozumel offers amazing views and is a great way to get to and from the island, saving many hours of travel compared with the ferry route.
If you're visiting Cozumel but flying to Cancun, these private air charters are by far the quickest and most convenient way to get to the island. The small aircraft fly between Cancun airport and Cozumel airport in around 20 minutes.
You also have the most astonishing views as you fly over the turquoise Caribbean Sea. A wonderful way to arrive to the island and start your vacation.
The alternative is a ground transfer to Playa del Carmen and then the ferry to the island, which can take many many hours*.
If you're landing in Cancun after 7:30pm, then flying is usually the only way you can guarantee getting to the island the same day too. The latest ferries normally depart at 10pm and getting through Cancun airport and transferring to the ferry can often take more than 2½ hours.
The private planes can take up to 3 passengers with 1 suitcase and 1 piece of hand luggage each, or up to 5 passengers with hand luggage only.
If your budget won't stretch to a private air charter and you don't mind the longer trip, then we also offer Cancun airport transfers by van.
