Cozumel Downtown and Craft Beer Tasting
Overview
Cozumel may be famous for its beaches and reefs, but some of the island’s best flavor is found downtown. This 2.5-hour experience pairs a relaxed walk through the historic center with a visit to Cozumel’s first craft brewery, giving you a taste of local life and its laid-back island vibe without spending your cruise day in transit.
Step inside the brewery to see where the beer is made and discover the ingredients, techniques, and care behind every small batch. Sample four distinct beers in a 4-ounce tasting flight while enjoying guacamole, boneless chicken wings, and crispy potato wedges. Once you’ve found your favorite, enjoy a full 10-ounce pour.
Everything takes place in the heart of town, so you’ll still have time to explore before returning to your ship. It’s an easygoing afternoon of island stories, good food, and cold local beer.

What To Expect
Spend 2.5 hours seeing—and tasting—a different side of downtown Cozumel.
Meet your guide at Restaurant Palmeras for a relaxed 25-minute walk through the historic center. Visit the main square, see its iconic clock tower and traditional kiosk, and hear stories about Cozumel’s history, culture, and everyday life. Along the way, browse artisan shops filled with locally made souvenirs and get a closer look at the town beyond the waterfront.
After exploring downtown, shift from island history to local flavor at Cozumel’s first craft brewery. Step inside for a guided introduction to the brewing process and discover the ingredients, techniques, and care behind every small batch.
Next, settle in for a flight of four 4-ounce beers brewed onsite. Compare their flavors while enjoying guacamole, boneless chicken wings, and crispy potato wedges. Once you’ve found your favorite, order a 10-ounce pour and enjoy the laid-back brewery atmosphere.
At the end of the experience, walk back to Restaurant Palmeras with time to continue exploring downtown or return to your ship—having discovered more of the island and perhaps a new favorite local beer along the way.
