Pickup details

We meet all of our guests next to the cruise terminals, pick up from hotel and ferry. We provide transportation within Cozumel. Please be aware that you may be coming from a different time zone. Cozumel does not follow day light savings so half the year we are on EST and the other half is CST. So March-November (spring & summer) Cozumel is CST and November-March (fall & winter) is EST. The cruise ships should be using our local time for the time of arrival to the island. You may also see your cruise ships time of arrival using our cruise ship schedule, and the link is provided below Your cruise ship itinerary is based on our local time. For example, if your cruise ship says it will be docking in Cozumel at 8AM, that is local time, and if your meeting time is 8:30AM local time, you will have 30 minutes to get to your meeting point. All meeting points are very close and within walking distance of the cruise pier area.

We enjoyed the private nature of the tour. The best part was our tour guide Irving. He answered all our questions about the history of the island. He had lots of information to share about the Mayan people and life on the island. Irving was very attentive and polite. Top notch tour guide!

ALL the Activities! Whole island of experiences

Tracy_P, Apr 2024

Antonio was so friendly and informative. We felt very comfortable with him and enjoyed each stop more than the last. THIS excursion is inclusive of so many experiences and our cruise mates were jealous because theirs only had one or two. The jeep ride itself was enjoyable as the weather was perfect, the view of the flora and fauna was beautiful, and the coastline was incredible. Jade Caverns was impressive and it's the first time I've been on am ATV in years. The view from the lighthouse was breathtaking and we were only 4 feet from a crocodile. The chocolate, corn tortilla with pumpkin salsa, and tequila making your by Juan was so tasty and educational. Lunch had great service and a beautiful view. We could have stayed and swam as well but chose to head back towards the boat to not be "runners". This is a FULL day of sights and activities for such a reasonable price. I'd like to visit here again.

Straight Talk....

Amy_S, Apr 2024

Our tour guide "Tony" was the absolute BEST... He was so professional, great personality, patient, accommodating, down right AWESOME. The tour itself..... Based on the booking we expected to have our group of 5 accommodated with 2 jeeps as only 5 people fit in a jeep and with the tour guide we had 6. So, one of us unknowingly had to drive the jeep and follow the guide who was driving another vehicle. This was a huge bummer as the tour involved tequila tasting, and a beach break with lunch and the option to purchase drinks from the Coco Beach Club we stopped at. So basically, one of us had to volunteer to be the designated driver for the day. Had we known that we could simply rented a vehicle and drove around the island ourself. The jeep was a bit run-down, parking break light on, low tire pressure light on, and some other lights on the dashboard, however it ran perfectly fine and got us where we needed to go. The Cenote and ATV..... The ATV was fun to ride, however one of ours broke down at the cenote so my daughter had to jump on back of the tour guides single rider ATV to get back to the starting point. WE REALLY appreciated that the guide was flexible and let my daughter jump on back so it didn't waste our day waiting on a repair or another ATV. The ATV ride is about 15 minutes out to the cenote and about 15 minutes back. The road is really dusty so I highly recommend you bring goggles/glasses to cover your eyes so you can see easier. As for the cenote, it is part of a natural ecosystem, so be prepared for a strong smell of sulfur, a lot of bats flying around, and the appearance of murky water. The water itself is actually clean, but it does have a rancid odor. We climbed up to the top of the cenote and jumped in (because we were there and why not take the opportunity to be brave), however we quickly got out! lol.... The village and church.... we stopped in a sleepy little village and walked through a lovely church, and vendors shops. (We aren't shoppers, but we did buy a pair of handmade earrings and a Michelada in a can) Other stops... An eco park to see 1 crocodile, which was fine but per my understanding these crocs are not native to Cozumel. We were told there are 450 crocodiles in the park, but we saw just 1 (not our guides fault, just the way the cookie crumbles). We did climb to the top of a tower and had a beautiful view of the ocean, beaches and surrounding area. Next we stopped at a light house and climbed to the top, awesome view from up top. There are vendors there for shopping if that is your thing and a booth to buy VERY expensive drinks and taste flavored tequila/mezcal. We bought 5 margaritas for a total of $110 AMERICAN DOLLARS, with the tip that was $120! Yikes.... But hey were on vacation so why not? Tequila and Chocolate tasting.... Staff at the tequila tasting were so kind and knowledgeable. The tequila was delicious but VERY expensive ranging from $75 per bottle for flavored tequilas to $300 for aged tequila. We learned how to make chocolate from the actual cacao bean and tasted it fresh off the grinding stone. This demo was about 20 minutes long and the chocolate was delicious. We tasted a fresh tortilla and some salsa, and then learned about the history of making true organic tequila from start to finish. A lot of great information, but definitely a tourist spot. Next stop a beach club called Coco Beach Club. Our lunch was GREAT! You can choose from fajitas, or 3 tacos (chicken, beef, or fish) you can't mix and match so whatever protein you choose you get 3 of the same tacos. I had the fish tacos and it was the best meal I had in Cozumel. The margaritas $21 per drink...YIKES! So we stuck to beer at $5 per bottle. We spent an hour and a half at this location before ending our day back at our hotel pick up location. We had a great day, and fell in love with our incredible tour guide "Tony"... It was great to learn about the history and culture of Cozumel, from a local who had so much appreciation for his home and some interesting life experiences to share.

I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Denein_M, Apr 2024

What a cool way to experience Cozumel! The tour took us all the way around the island, with little stops - some that were off the beaten path. We loved every stop. We loved our guide and all the history he shared with us. The only thing we would do different is bring snacks to tide us over. The last stop is a restaurant, and the food was delicious, so it's good to be hungry at the end, but we had little kids with us and they would have been happier with a couple snacks along the way.

Good time !

Amanda_D, Apr 2024

The tequila tasting was fun ! Atv was cool too the Cenote was nasty and stinky !! He then took us to eat and beach ! Our guide was awesome

Great tour!

Derek_D, Apr 2024

Cozumel is a fantastic destination with unbelievable natural sights. Great experience with the tour. Only quibble is I would suggest buying tequila from the lighthouse. Better tequila and better prices. The lighthouse is a must visit. Tour was excellent and we all had a great time.

The Best Cozumel Experience!!!!

Tina_W, Apr 2024

The Whole Family had an amazing time! So many wonderful memories made! Tony was our guide and he went above and beyond for my family! Thank you soooo much!

Awesome trip!

Yelena_E, Apr 2024

Beautiful cenote, super fun guys, felt safe and very looked after the whole trip. Loved the experience, would 10/10 reccomend!!

Irving was the best tour guide!

BillVan_Z, Apr 2024

Best time is with Maria

Travis_P, Apr 2024

Could not have asked for a better experience while visiting Cozumel Mexico. My tour guide Maria was excellent and took real good care of both of us. She gave us the real deal and if I go back I will be asking for her.

Incredible

Ted_S, Mar 2024

It all started with a great tour guide, Alex. His knowledge and driving skills were top notch. We saw places we would have never seen with a large group. We always felt safe. We capped off our five hour tour with a nice lunch on the beach. Thanks for the memories.

10/10 would book again

Angela_F, Mar 2024

We loved our excursion! I was worried after reading some of the reviews but I’m so glad we did it. It was private for our group of 6 we got two jeeps to drive around the island with (tour guide drove 1) the jeeps aren’t anything fancy but they worked and got us around just fine! Chocolate/tequila tour was awesome we got to try a lot of Tequila. It is $$ to buy but we didn’t feel pressured to purchase-we did tip the guy who did the presentation because he did do a great job-so bringing Cash for tips might be a good idea. We drove the ATV’s to the cenote which was a lot of fun. The Cenote did smell like sulfur but we all jumped and don’t regret that a bit. After the cenote we had them take up straight to beach club where we ate a really good lunch that was included (can get more food/drinks for extra) then went snorkeling and saw a lot of awesome fish. All in all it was a great experience and a great way to see most of the island in one day. Pedro was our tour guide and he was great! Don’t hesitate to book.

Great tour to experience the island

Janine_W, Mar 2024

Miguel was our guide for the day. He did great. The first thing he asked was want we wanted to do. He always gave us a choice of if we wanted to do and activity or not. His knowledge of the history and expertise was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the ATV runs. We wanted to stop at a local market which he accommodated. There were 5 cruise ships in port so some of the activities we were supposed to do were busy. Miguel always asked if we wanted to partake in that activity or not.

We'd do it again, but there were some hiccups.

Robert_G, Mar 2024

We were ready to go at 0815 for pickup at 0830. Told front lobby we were waiting for a jeep excursion. They called down to gate to make them aware. At 0845, still hadn't shown. Called the gate and the jeep was there. So, we still don't know if that was a resort issue or jeep issue. Pedro was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable of the island and Mayan culture. We went to Lagoon Colombia and Cerlain Lighthouse. From there we bypassed a lot of the places we had expected to go to and ended up stopping at Playa de San Martin for a bit. From there it was on to the Tequila tasting. We did purchase a bottle of Anejo and it was well worth it. Extremely smooth and great tasting tequilas. Our next stop was to Coco Beach Club for lunch, which was not on the itinerary. But it was fine. Bring $ for drinks though, which were not included. From there we went to El Cedral and the Jade Caverns and Cenote. It was raining heavily and thankfully the jeep was covered and we were able to take it to the cenote, rather than the usual transportation of the atv. The cenote was nothing like the photo on the website though. Granted it was clear water and a very beautiful sight to see. However, bats and their droppings are everywhere, so we did not want to swim. Then it was back to the hotel, through the gate to the front lobby. So, not sure what happened at the gate in the morning. Overall, a neat experience and would do it again. As long as we get to see everything promised. Here's what we didn't see or do: No attendance to Punta Sur Park or Otoch Park, no snorkeling, no attendance to Skyreef Beach club, no chocolate tour/tasting. Went by these places, but didn't stop: El Mirador, Chen Rio Beach, Hacienda Ixtlan.

Great to explore and try all of cozumel

Lindsey_M, Mar 2024

Melton was good. He let us take out time in the places we wanted to stay. Made sure we got back to cruise on time. Brought us to his fav mojito spot. Determined to get me into a tequila tasting which was great. Only negative was my daughter got sick and the communication in the beginning was a little off. Viator couldn’t get in touch with the tour company and it started off very rough.

Johny was great

Dustin_C, Mar 2024

Our guide Johny was amazing, listened to what we wanted, made recommendations for different things and went out of his way to ensure our experience was great.

Pepe was an excellent...

Marty_B, Mar 2024

Pepe was an excellent guide.... knowledgeable, and very genuine..... Jeep was a tad cramped but the days treasure made up for it!

Disappointing

brettster003, Mar 2024

The day before I messaged them to confirm pick up spot as we were on a cruise. They said they had no record of our booking. I shared all the booking details and they blamed Viator not themselves. Ended up without a cool excursion on our one day in Cozumel.

Not as advertised

Gay_M, Mar 2024

We were traveling with two other couples. We had each ordered our own jeep. Nowhere did it say it would be a rideshare. The guide showed up with 2 Jerod instead of 3. The guide then offered us to ride in a van that was too small for our group and wouldn’t go to the sites listed. So he cancelled the trip and is supposed to be giving us a refund. I hope he honors his word.

Fabulous excursion!

Evelyn_H, Mar 2024

Amazing tour once we found the meeting place! Couldn’t ask for a more courteous and knowledgeable tour guide! All the sites were well worth it and the combination of jeep and ATV was perfect! I’d rate it higher if possible!

Just Okay

Kelly_T, Mar 2024

Pros: Our guide, Naelly, was great. She was engaging and provided a lot of history of the various stops. While the Cenote was very cool, it DOES NOT look like the picture and you are likely not going to want to swim in it, as there is a strong odor and tons of bats. The lighthouse was beautiful, but beware, it is 133 steps and not suitable for people with any physical limitations. Overall, you see a variety of different spots throughout the island. Cons: The Jeep we were in had no working AC and it was 86 degrees. This should’ve been addressed immediately, as it was dangerously hot in the car. Naelly called her boss to see if the roof of the Jeep could be removed, but they said no. The tequila tasting was fine, but they do push you to buy. Beware, a bottle was almost $80 USD. The included lunch was an option of chicken fajitas or fish tacos, drinks not included. Prices for anything else were incredibly high. The restaurant was also packed. During the tour you are provided water or beer, but none were keep cold enough during the excursion. This excursion could easily take 6-8 hours depending on how long you want. Overall, it would’ve been so much more enjoyable with working AC or a Jeep with windows.
