Feel the thrill of cruising along Cozumel’s scenic roads in your own open-air buggy. It’s not every day you get to explore a tropical island this way! Whether you're traveling with friends, your partner, or the whole family, this adds a playful and adventurous twist to your trip.

The second stop takes you deep into Cozumel’s rich cultural heritage at the San Gervasio ruins, a historic site once sacred to the ancient Maya. Step back in time as you walk among the remarkable stone structures that make up Cozumel’s oldest Mayan settlement, and learn about the spiritual significance of this ancient pilgrimage center. Each pathway and carved stone whispers stories of a civilization that thrived here for centuries, giving you an unforgettable connection to the past and a profound appreciation for the legacy left by the Maya on this beautiful island.

Head to Sky Reef, a local favorite for underwater exploration. Snorkel straight from the shore into the vibrant marine world of the Caribbean. Swim alongside colorful tropical fish, spot coral gardens, and experience the island’s natural beauty from below the surface—all with a certified guide to ensure a fun and safe experience.

After all the adventure, enjoy a delicious meal by the sea. Choose from flavorful chicken fajitas, fresh fish tacos, or cheesy quesadillas—each bite made even better by the unbeatable ocean view. It’s the perfect way to relax and refuel before heading back.
