Follow your guide on a one-hour snorkeling tour in search of Cozumel’s vibrant marine life amid the natural wonders of this brilliant underwater world.
Next, take up to three fellow passengers on a brand new, state-of the art buggy – they’re one of a kind on the island of Cozumel! Enjoy a scenic drive, caravan-style, as you follow your guide to El Cedral, founded in the 1840s as Cozumel’s first town. Embark on a tour of the ancient Mayan ruins as well as the church of El Cedral and the original house of the town’s first settlers.
Then, enjoy a scrumptious snack in the home of a local Mayan family, and sample local ingredients prepared the traditional way. As you observe the contemporary lifestyle of these village residents, you’ll hear about their cultural traditions and festivities. Afterward, jump back into your last generation buggy and drive along Cozumel’s eastern coastline, stopping briefly at El Mirador or Playa San Martin for great photo opportunities with outstanding views.
When you arrive at Hotel Cozumel and Resort, feast on a delicious meal of assorted Mexican dishes such as chicken fajitas, homemade tortillas, fried tacos, sopes and Mexican salsa. Choose four ice-cold refreshments, including soft drinks and seasonal fruit beverages, to accompany your lunch.
Enjoy the beach lounge chairs, showers and changing rooms at the resort, as well as the largest freshwater pool on Cozumel (lockers, towels and a bar are also available at additional cost) before you return to the cruise port.
