Cozumel Island Tour: Mayan Ruins, Reef Snorkeling & Beach Escape
Overview
Cozumel goes far beyond its famous beaches. Travel from the world of the ancient Maya to the colorful reefs and turquoise waters that made the island famous.
At San Gervasio, explore a sanctuary dedicated to Ixchel, where Maya women once made pilgrimages. Cacao, chocolate, and traditional tortilla making turn history into something you can see, taste, and experience.
Panoramic stops along the coastline showcase the island’s beauty, while a tequila experience adds another distinctly Mexican tradition to the day.
Then it’s time to enjoy that incredible water. Snorkel a Caribbean reef before settling into your reserved beach area with a welcome drink, an umbrella overhead, and the turquoise sea in front of you.
Choose the shared tour to enjoy the day with fellow travelers, or select the private option for a vehicle and guide reserved exclusively for your family or friends.
Maya history, Mexican flavors, island views, reef snorkeling, and time beside the Caribbean Sea—all in one day!
