Detailed itinerary
1
Kick off your island adventure in true Cozumel style—behind the wheel of a fun buggy or open-top jeep! After meeting your guide at a convenient location and receiving a quick safety briefing, you'll follow the caravan along scenic coastal roads toward the wild east side of the island. Your first stop is a laid-back beach escape where you’ll have about an hour to soak up the Caribbean vibes. Go for a swim in the crystal-clear waters, join a game of beach volleyball, or simply unwind in a beach lounger while gazing at the sea. Light snacks and drinks are available for purchase if you'd like to sip or snack as you relax before heading to your next island stop.
2
After your beach break, jump back in your buggy or jeep and cruise along Cozumel’s scenic coastal road toward one of the island’s most popular beachfront venues. Before lunch, your certified guide will lead you into the water for a fantastic shore snorkel experience. Dive into the crystal-clear Caribbean and explore vibrant coral formations, tropical fish, and stunning underwater views that make Cozumel one of the top snorkeling spots in the world.
Once back on shore, get ready to refuel with a delicious oceanfront lunch. Take your pick from local favorites like chicken fajitas, fish tacos, or cheese quesadillas—all served with a breathtaking front-row seat to the sea.

To finish off your adventure, you'll have the option to either unwind at the beach or explore one of Cozumel’s cultural or natural treasures—depending on the package you choose.
If you’ve chosen the Punta Sur Park add-on, get ready to explore Cozumel’s largest ecological reserve! This eco-park is home to lush mangroves, exotic wildlife, and breathtaking coastal views. You’ll spend about an hour discovering its highlights with your guide, and your entrance fee is already included.
If you’ve selected the basic Jeep or Buggy Island Tour, you’ll enjoy extra beach time to relax, swim, or soak up the sun at your leisure.

Stop 4
If you’ve chosen the San Gervasio Mayan Ruins add-on, you’ll trade beach time for a step back in history. Follow your guide into the heart of the island to explore Cozumel’s most important archaeological site. San Gervasio was once a sacred place dedicated to Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of fertility and the moon. During your one-hour guided visit, you’ll walk through ancient stone paths, learn about Mayan culture and rituals, and see original structures that have stood for centuries. Entrance to the site is included, offering you a unique cultural experience before heading back to wrap up your island journey.
