Most memorable time during our vacation
December 23, 2023
Had such an amazing time driving around Cozumel. Jorge was our guide and made the trip so much fun! He knew everything and everyone we came in contact with! Stopped at a beautiful tequila tasting room, then headed down the coast to a must see light house view! Then wrapped up the tour with some amazing food and drinks at a private beach club! Worth every minute!!!

BEST TOUR EVER!!!!
May 04, 2023
We have been on many excursions in our travels, but this was the best tour we have taken. Our guide, Alan, was amazing! So personable and so knowledgable. This tour allowed us to see so much of Cozumel's beauty and culture and gave us a chance to have some time to see the area. We weren't herded from place to place like cattle and it was so very relaxed! Would definitely recommend. We are a family of 4 with a 19 year old and 8 year old and a great time was had by everyone!

Second Time on This Tour and another 5 Stars!
March 04, 2020
This is our second time on this tour since we enjoyed it so much the first time 4 years ago. Felipe was excellent as he was also our tour guide on the first one! The jeeps are old and worn out which is my only complaint.Punta Sur was just as I remembered it, quiet, beautiful, and breathtaking.Lighthouse views was fantastic.The beach was more than perfect, we had high winds all day in Cozumel from when we arrived to when we left. I asked the owner when he was putting our wrist bands on that I wanted to snorkel so bad and asked how the winds were at the beach we were going to, he showed me a picture and said no worries, it's on south side, no winds. He was spot on! We saw multiple fish around the reefs, a 3 feet stingray which caught me by surprise laying on the bottom.The sand was soft. The food was good. Tequila tour was memorable, we had the best tour guide.Tequila tastings were free, buying bottles were a bit pricey but hey it's authentic Mexican Tequila!.Felipe was fantastic!

When we were looking for a shore excursion for our first cruise, we found the jeep adventure providing a little bit of everything for all of us in our family. Yes in deed it met our expectations and we enjoyed the fact we were able to drive into the island. This tour is only for people who wants loves quantity over qualtiy. The mayan ruins were a joke just a 6 foot wall and the snorkeling was done near the shore with very little wild animals. We enjoyed the bit of everything and cudos to our tour cordinator Carlos was excellent and his hospitality is great be it spotting a crocodile in the lagoon to serving chilled water after the climb in light house or explaining the 6 feet wall and make us imagine how Mayan's used it.

Jade Cavern is so so. That is it. It would be really nice to offer one more stop at any public beach for 20-30 minutes that will be super! Their jeeps are great!

The best day of our cruise!
August 19, 2019
This was an amazing day in Cozumel! Our guide, Felipe, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife. Our tour group consisted of four people in one jeep led by Felipe in another vehicle. At Punta Sur we saw a lagoon with crocodiles, Mayan ruins, and beautiful beaches. We climbed a lighthouse for amazing views! Shopping was available from a few local artesans. On our way out of Punta Sur, we saw a caravan of 30-40 jeeps and were told this was the cruise ship's excursion. Boy, were we glad we chose Shore Excursions instead! Next we went to a gorgeous beach for swimming, snorkeling, relaxing, and a delicious lunch. On the way back to town we stopped at a tequila shop where they gave us a demonstration of how tequila is made by this family who has been crafting it for almost 200 years. There we got to taste about 6 or 7 tequilas and tequila infusions. Best tequila I've ever had! This was by far the best excursion of our cruise and Felipe helped make it so much fun!

Tour was a blast and Carlos was great!
June 03, 2019
First, our tour guide Carlos was funny and knowledgeable. Get him if you can. As for the tour, we were the only ones on the tour, so we had a private tour guide who gave us options on what to see and do. Driving the stick shift Jeep was fun but be aware- not one single gauge in it works! Not a problem, just adds to the authenticity of it. Another note- Cozumel was 97 when we were there. if you put the top down on the Jeep, expect to burn your a$%% off on those leather seats! Carlos used "Mexican seat coolers" and poured bottled water on the seats for us lol! Again he was great- we saw El Cedral, toured Cozumel, and went to the tequila tour! Worth the money!

Not exactly as described
April 30, 2019
Description said Jeep tour to far side, stop in Punta Sur, then lunch. We stopped in town to go shopping, we toured a tequila factory, then went to far side. Did not do Punta Sur due to weather conditions, so went to old Mayan city instead (not ruins- just an old town with more shopping) then to lunch stop. Served the most mediocre fajitas I've ever had. Disappointing. Beach was beautiful, but we had a ton of rain, staff made the most of the situation. We had no interest in all the other stops- would have liked to know that was part of the tour!

We drove along the coast road. Went to a gorgeous beach. One of the guides took the 4 of us out swimming to reef and showed us around for an hour. Good lunch. Went to nature reserve and saw crocodiles and other wild life. The whole time we were well taken care of from the guides. Went to 500 year old Mayan lighthouse. Went to authentic tequila manufacturing spot. You could sample and buy if you liked with no pressure. Really fun and well worth the price. No problems. I would recommend this. Make sure one person can drive standard.

Fantastic Adventure
April 01, 2019
I enjoyed this excursion more than 5 others I have been on. The meeting place was very close to the port (too close to even get lost.) Someone met us there and took us to another close location where we met our guide, Nestor, and got in the Jeep. My daughter and I shared driving the five speed with Nestor in the backseat. Ours was the only Jeep (no caravan.). Nestor was very polite and his English was pretty good. We went to a tower we climbed for a view, to a lighthouse we climbed, then to a beach. Snorkeling gear was provided. My daughter and I had another guide who led us snorkeling. No one else came with us. Then we walked back to the resort where a delicious meal of fajitas, rice and beans was brought out to us. Nestor showed us a few other stops. We really felt that we were treated like locals.

Excellent Excursion
March 02, 2019
Fortunately, one of the men in our group loved to drive a standard shift; so my husband and I sat in the back and enjoyed the sites of Cozumel. The jeep ran well, although it probably would have been scrapped years ago in the US. Our tour guide was great about stopping at sight-seeing spots and explaining their importance. He always had soda and water available for us. Where we stopped for lunch was disappointing only because high surf due to winds stopped us from going into the water. On a less windy day, the spot would be great. Lunch there was interesting. Three or four raccoons stayed around us, and a couple of people from the area kept trying to shoo them off. My husband ordered 1 mixed drink, and I ordered 1 soda--costing us a surprising $20. On the way back to the ship, we stopped at a facility showing what a rum distillery would be like. We all got a free drink and were given samples of different kinds of flavored rums. .

What a Ride and Adventure
January 31, 2019
The Cozumel Jeep and Beach Adventure is a way to see Cozumel. Jeep ride to the conservation park, was quite a ride, lol! The natural park road was bumpy with potholes, BUT PLEASE do not be discouraged, it’s worth it! You will see a lagoon look out, the vegetation is surrounded with mangroves very lush and green and across the road a Mayan lighthouse ruin. Our guide described the history of the ruin, then you will see an actual lighthouse. To the beach for a Mexican (had the fish taco) lunch, snorkeling, it was amazing - saw colourful fish, the deeper end lobster, more beautiful colourful fish. After relaxing on the beach, stopped at a tequila farm where they grew agave and processed tequila. Tasted various types of tequila. Heading back drove through the coast, towards the city, you could see how the people lived, their means of transportation is mainly the SCOOTER, they were everywhere! What an experience - I love Cozumel!!

What a fun day!! It was a sunny, warm day and it was nice Carlos and Carlos brought cold water. My wife and I have been to Cozumel several times and were going to just walk around town but we were both glad we booked this adventure. The other side of the island is incredible. The colors of the ocean were beautiful!! I climbed the lighthouse and enjoyed a the view all around. The snorkeling wasn't the best I've seen, but the water and beach were nice. Lunch was beach side and good. Good Margaritas too(not included in the tour price). Watch out for the begging Racoon. Back in the Jeep to stop at the blowhole for pix. Then we stopped at a family owned Tequila shop for some tasting and knowledge of Tequila. The bottles were NOT cheap, but the Tequila was outstanding!!! We had never tasted anything like it. Worth purchasing at least1 bottle of this unique liquor. We would definitely choose this company again. Thanks for the awesome experience!!

After selecting your jeep, we all drove around the island following a lead car. The scenery was gorgeous and they even take your picture at a stop near the beach. After driving a while, we arrived at Punta Sur which is a beautiful part of the island. We saw a small Mayan ruin and a huge lagoon with an observation tower. Then we drove to the beach area where we climbed a lighthouse to get awesome views. Our last stop was at a small beach resort that served us a great lunch. You can just relax or do some snorkeling right off the beach there.

We had a group of 12 ranging in age from 8 to 70 and everyone enjoyed this excursion. The tour guides were very knowledgeable about the area and were great. The best thing was it was only our group of 12 together we didn't have to follow a long line of Jeeps like we saw with other tours. That personal touch was very nice! My only complaint was we waited almost an hour past our tour time before we left. There was no reason for that as the Jeeps were ready and so were the guides. It literally took our whole day in Cozumel so if that isnt what you want please dont book this tour. We wish we had more time to shop!

This excursion is a lot of fun. We got to see a lot of fun things around Cozumel. We followed our tour guide in jeeps, and he was driving what he referred to as his Mexican Ferrari. We went to a protected park, a Mayan ruin, and a lighthouse. We then went to a beach resort for lunch and snorkeling. Lunch was amazing, and the snorkeling was a lot of fun. Our tour guide gave instructions for first time snorkelers and pointed out different things to view out in the water. We also stopped at a place to learn how tequila is made. It was a beautiful, fun ride, and all the people were so friendly. The jeeps were not the best, but they got us to where we needed to go. I would definitely recommend this tour - it was a lot of fun!

Each stop was great, and we spent just enough time at each one to really enjoy the day and come back relaxed. Note the jeeps part of our excursion were all manual so someone needs to know how to drive a stick shift. The view from the lighthouse was breathtaking. The margaritas at the beach restaurant were very good. When we go back to Cozumel we will definitely do this tour again.

Cozumel Jeep and Beach Adventure
January 12, 2018
This was a great day! It was a very nice beach we drove to and the meal they served was delicious! I really liked the stops and interesting information the guide had about all of them. The Mayan ruin, the lighthouse, the beach, the meal and the people were all awesome! We went to a tequila factory and they gave samples. We don't drink but the others seemed to enjoy it. I did like the gift shop at the tequila factory though. Lots of good items to buy. I recommend this tour. Love the Jeeps!

We did this excursion on 2 November 2017. When we booked it, we had no idea there would be SEVEN ships in port. Once we got out of town, you would never have known it though. As everyone else has mentioned, Felipe was great. Since we were returning a week later, he helped arrange a fishing trip for our next visit. Very pleased with everything about this excursion!

A Great Way to See the Natural Beauty of Cozumel
December 11, 2017
The port of Cozumel is a bustling place of bars beaches, music and souvenirs stores. We made our way to our excursion meeting point. The tour group made us comfortable offing us drinks and WiFi as we waited to leave on our adventure. The wifi was welcome after nearly a week of no communication. The tour was a little late starting, but it was the best excursion I have ever been on. My fiance' got the privilege of driving the jeep, he was thrilled! Then out we went, traveling along the coastline until we arrived at the state preserved park. We were able to see ruins from the Mayans, iguanas and crocodiles in their natural state. A quick stop to a lighthouse and museum. Finally arriving at a beautiful beach. The beach was peaceful, no one trying to sell you souvenirs. Just beauty all around with music softly playing in the background. Drink and food (included) delivered to your beach chair, or a table. I would do this again in a second. Well worth the money.

Went on Jeep tour with my 70+ yr old Mom and 2 sisters. We had a blast! Went to sml Ruin- our Guide Felipe made it very interesting with the history. Next salt water alligator - 1 swam over to the boardwalk. (Never felt at risk) saw 2 iguana's, climbed lighthouse for best view & shopping. then went to amazing beach- snorkeling avail, chose swimming & found nice shells waist deep Lunch ok service excellent - no one messed with our stuff but there are locker's available to rent as well. Senic drive to a brief explanation by Roberto of how Tequila is made with free Margarita & tequila tasting various quality and flavors ... Uno Mas! No prob getting to the ship on time w/ shopping on our way back. (short walk for Carnival's port). This is a great experience for all ages if you want a variety of activity in a day trip. All the employees where welcoming and relaxed making the day enjoyable. Only draw back is the Jeeps are not new and fancy but hey just more adventure! haha

Cozumel jeep
November 04, 2017
A fun experience and different. The only real issue is the ship had clocks turned back one hour which matched the time on shore, so we were an hour late before we even docked. We still made our way to the excursion point and ran into another couple from the ship doing the same thing. The company was gracious and put a Jeep tour together for just the 5 of us. It turned out awesome with just two jeeps following the guides in a third vehicle. We snorkeled under supervision which is ok but not the best for our liking, but safety first! The lunch was good but all of us were a little hesitant eating the veggies and fish tacos. We figured your company would have checked this out so we were ok. We all thought the tequila place was over priced and very touristy. Your choice to purchase or not. Don’t be alarmed if the gages don’t work in your Jeep all part of the adventure! We would do this again the guides made it fun.... please adjust your time of excursion!

Cozumel Beach and Jeep tour
November 02, 2017
We loved our tour guides. They were very attentive; on every stop they made sure we had water to drink. They even helped some of us get in and out of the jeeps by putting their cooler on the floor. They were knowledgeable on every stop we made. At the beach they made sure those that wanted to snorkel were properly informed about the reef and what was going to happen. They were courteous and respectful and we feel they gave great information about the land around us.

He was conscious of time and great at keeping us ahead of the crowd (other excursion groups). He took us out snorkeling along the reef for about an hour and saw beautiful fish. I would recommend this tour as it was both active and relaxing. If you get Reuben as your guide then that is a plus.

As a single mom of two, I was hesitant to do this excursion, but committed to it have reading more positive than negative reviews. Doing the earlier time (I was given two) was the best choice as the places we went seemed to get busier as the day went on. There's little gift shops we stopped by and saw some neat wild life, the lunch was decent. Ate at the beach where you could either snorkel or just relax by the water, just note that you have to pay for your drinks. We went on a neat little Tequila tasting tour and then rode through the hustle and bustle of the town. A lot of scooters to watch out for, and while some reviews said the town was sketchy, I wasn't fearful. People seemed to be used to the jeep tours.

We exited the ship and walked about 1/4 mile to the hotel where the excursion started.

Jeeps were all pretty new and drove well. Beautiful drive to a small Ruin, a light house then the beach. We had a nice lunch at the beach and stayed about an hour. Unfortunately it was too windy for snorkeling. On the drive back we stopped at a tequila factory which had tastings and a presentation but tequila was very expensive. It was a very nice day. Water provided through out the day. Worth the expense

Cozumel Was Beautiful and Relaxing
January 14, 2017
It was wonderful being back in Mexico once again even though this was our first time in Cozumel. Cozumel is a beautiful place to visit, relax and take in the sites. We started in the city and then ended up at Punta Sur beach. We saw a Mayan lighthouse ruin which was very interesting. It was cool finding out just how they did things in their time and how it all fit together. We were then given time to explore, shop and take pictures of the surrounding sites. We then went to a private beach to relax and grab some lunch. There was snorkeling, white sand beaches, clear blue water and no rush what so ever. We all had a relaxing time and my wife was even able to get a massage. We will definitely be back to Cozumel.

When we got to the meeting point, the host informed us that the excursion would go too long and we wouldn't make it back in time, but the host graciously offered a similar tour that was an hour shorter and would get us back in time. We hit most of the same places except the nature preserve and we rode an open air bus rather than jeeps. The Mayan temple was small, but the guide was informative about the culture and religions past and present. Learned about black coral and had an opportunity to buy. Stopped for a delicious lunch (which the host paid for us since our original excursion was more $ than this one) on the water. We had an opportunity to swim in the ocean or pool, swing in a hammock, or do a pedicure with the minnows! We then hit the Tequila place. It isn't a "factory", but they talk you through the origins of tequila, how it's made, a tasting and time to buy. I truly appreciated the guide/host coming through for us and accommodating a change and even paying for lunch!

A beach resort that was very beautiful and relaxing. The restaurant we ate at was outdoors, next to a beach and the food was delicious. The ride back went through the downtown area and we figure this is where the adventure was, narrow streets and yielding traffic. We had a fantastic time. The guide was polite and knoweglable. If we go back we'll probably pick this one again!

As we were entering the parking lot of the restaurant that we were eating at he quickly noticed two ladies that were obviously heading home after their day of massaging. He asked them if they would be willing to stay and they both agreed and even waited for about half an hour for us while we ate our already prepared dinner.

Taking out the weather, the trip was/would of been great! It was a block walk to meet up with the tour guides. They were friendly & informative. We walked another bit to pick up the jeeps and took off for a nice drive. Basically I believe we drove all around the island. The stops were nice. Unfortunately, when we got to the beach, the rain kicked in. There weren't many places to hang out and stay dry while others swam or snorkeled. When we left to go to lunch, the long beautiful drive was rough as we had a roof on the jeep, but no sides or back so it was not pleasant while we drove. Suggestion, have the sides available to put down for such situations. Also our jeeps had 2 doors which was a little difficult for us older folks to get into the back seats. The food was good & the final drive was better as the rain slowed down. A memorable day. I do recommend this tour, but bring a poncho. :-)

Best Excursion of the Cruise
April 22, 2016
We had what equated to a private 5 hour tour. Fantastic guides led us to a beautiful beach park, treated us to a wonderful lunch on the water and gave us a quiet hour on a beach to enjoy the water!

Highlight of our cruise!
April 19, 2016
Great excursion and great company! There was only one other couple in our group so we did have to share 1 jeep. My husband drove the whole time but you would have to switch off if everyone wants to drive. Jeep excursions seemed very popular and you do end up running into other groups at the stops. The big difference (compared to booking it through the cruise) is that this one seemed more like a personal tour and the guide asked us our preference on how long we wanted to stay at some of the stops. We felt like we did a lot in this excursion. (This was a cruise stop for us and the previous day we were in Belize and did the tubing which wasn't as exciting as we had expected so this more than made up for it!) At the end he did bring us to a great restaurant, the price of the food was included but the drinks were not, so bring cash if you want to get a soda or bottled water at lunch. The guide did keep a cooler of bottled water for us during the day. The excursion is great for everyone (kids who can sit in the back w/out car seats). Snorkeling is done at the beach so for those of you who want to relax on the beach can do so while those of you who want to snorkel can snorkel. The light house is pretty narrow going up the steps which is probably the only part to the tour that someone w/limited mobility would have problems with.

We were very surprised at how easy it was to get to from the port, and also that they waited for other people to arrive before leaving. Scheduled time was 11 I think we left around 11:15. This is a 5 hour tour so for the money I don't think you can beat it! You get a guided tour around the island and they guarantee you make it back to the ship on time! We had no problems on this excursion and we are looking forward to our next cruise! Great Value! Great Price! Great Time!

March 31, 2016
My family had a great time on this excursion. My husband wanted to drive around the island, but I was worried about being late to the boat. This was a great compromise. He got to drive a jeep around the island, but in an organized manner. Our guides were great. The weather was windy, so the snorkeling had to be canceled, but the guides worked with us to find an alternative everyone on the tour was happy with. My son would have liked a bit more Mayan ruins.

Huge drawback having to share a jeep with another couple. One couple gets screwed by having to sit in the back. There are frequent stops and getting in and out of the jeeps is not easy for even athletic folks let alone older couples. The best part of the tour was the stop over at the beach where we got to snorkel. Stop was only for 1-hour. Should have been able to stay at the beach longer. Snorkeling was fabulous.

Nice Ride!
April 08, 2015
It was nice to get off the boat and ride in an open air jeep. On the way to the beach, you got to see what city life in Cozumel looks like and how the people live. The beach is beautiful and you have the choice to hang at the beach or snorkel. Our group split up and both groups had fun. My 10 year old hung at the beach but used the mask to ""snorkel"" just a few feet off the shore. He loved it! and saw tons of fish! Take time to enjoy a margarita and some coconut water while hanging out. The next stop is the crocodile sighting area. Not too exciting for me. Then the lighthouse which is pretty cool. Also gives you a chance to shop alittle. Then the ride to the lunch spot is beautiful as you follow the beach/shore line. Lunch was surprisingly good. And then you take one more stop at a place that makes tequila. It was quite interesting and the samples are excellent! We bought a bottle! Then back to the ship.

The Jeep tour was not what I was expecting. Very cool that we were able to drive our own Jeep. Was able to see the entire island of Cozumel, and, see things we would never have seen otherwise. The lighthouse, the ""tortoise"" protected beaches, the ""cocodrilos"", the ""tequila factory/zoo"", great beaches. And, most importantly, Santiago, the tour guide ""extraordinaire""; seriously, it's amazing, but it really gets down to ""who is your guide"". Again, Santiago was amazing! In total control, knowledgeable about everything Cozumel, a real leader and a very nice guy. Made the experience enjoyable, without worry. Great excursion!

February 16, 2015
This excursion was certainly cram packed with fun! From the Jeeps to the beach to the local food, my family had a blast. We would not have been able to see and do as much as we did on our own! Some things you should know: 1.) I wouldn't say that Punta Sur Bay has year-round crystal-clear waters. The day we were there, it was cloudy and while some still snorkeled, it was hard to see the reef and fish clearly. 2.) There are a few different reefs. Each reef is quite small and getting to it is not for the out of shape on a rough water day. However, there were several exotic fish, which made up for the cloudy waters. 3.) Bring your own water. The water provided is very small and barely quenches your thirst. The only huge negative was the added tequila tasting, which is not mentioned in the description on the website. This took time out of our day so that the guides could make a few extra bucks on commission from the manufacturer if someone purchased tequila. This added ""feature"" only caused us to rush back to the ship, giving us very little time to board. All in all, my family had a wonderful time!

The newby's said water was clear & seen plenty of fish & starfish. My fault I decided not to go listening to guide's advice vs seeing for myself though.

Lots of Bumpy Roads
February 23, 2014
We drove to parts of Cozumel we had never seen before. There is a lot of driving on a highway and on very bumpy dirt roads to a Mexican Natl Park. Some very pretty areas. Very good snorkeling but be warned it is a long swim to the reef then you follow the shoreline/reef line for several hundred yards. No boats involved. Great reefs and sea life if you can make the swim. The guide brings a tow line/buoy to pull you if you can't make it. You also see some Mayan ruins, not much but interesting. Would have liked the guide to have a little more info on these. No working seatbelt for driver. No Mexican seatbelt laws but they still have the laws of physics! We stopped at a roadside beach bar that had a great funny bartender and great drinks both alcohol and non-alcohol. Some scary driving in old town Cozumel, but part of the adventure. Great lunch in a local restaurant. All in all, a fun trip to see off the beaten track of Cozumel, great snorkeling, lighthouse and other stops were fun. If you have been to Cozumel a few times and want to see something different, give it a try.

What a Ride !
February 06, 2014
Overall, very pleased with the excursion. It was much longer than we anticipated (4+ hrs) We thought it would be more of an off-road Jeep experience than it was. You basically use an older Jeep (driver's seatbelt was broken) to travel to a fantastic beach and back. You see a ruin, can climb a watch tower (great views) and then drive a very, very long and slow pot hole filled road that takes for ever and offers no thrill. At the end is a beautiful beach with cool sand lounge chairs, you can snorkel (we didn't), sit in the shade, get a drink and snack. Our only criticism was that it took way too long to ride the horrible road and you only get one hour on the beach. We stopped by a tequila company on the way home. Wasn't looking forward to that and actually enjoyed it‚¶and bought some and I don't drink tequila! Ate at a very good and authentic restaurant near the water then grabbed a taxi to the ship. Glad I took a long sleeve shirt as it was cooler and wind while riding was crisp. If you are only two‚¶.the jeeps are stick shift‚¶.back seats are typically small so you might be in the back. If the top is off, you'll get a lot of sun. Bring bottled water and sunscreen.

My wife and I took this trip December 2012 and loved it. We ended up in a Jeep wrangler by ourselves because of our small group size and loved riding around Cozumel with the top down. The drive was gorgeous and the snorkling was also fantastic. The swim out to the reef was tiring, but was well worth it to see the standard tropical fish AND a nurse shark, SEA TURTLE (my favorite thing), and we got a short glimpse at a ray and eel. The only negative I can think of is the fact that the food was at the very end in the resort where you meet. I think some sort of food would have been great during the middle of the trip. I was very impressed with the price and had an awesome time!

Taking the jeep was the best way to see the park in Cozumel- beyond scenic along the gulf, hiking up the big lighthouse had a gorgeous view, the ruin had some cool history to it and the snorkeling was fun! This was a great excursion and our guides were fun!

Once we got out of the city, this was such a relaxing day! We got a chance to see some Mayan ruins, saltwater crocodiles and a light house. Then it was off to the beach! We loved sitting in the hammock enjoying the beautiful private beach (no solicitors). This was the most relaxing day of our cruise and we are looking forward to going back in January!

Our group of three (my husband, my sister and myself) had an outstanding day on this excursion. We have been in Cozumel several times on various excursions and this is definitely one of the best. Our guide, David, was just amazing. The vehicle actually surprised me. It was in outstanding condition -- spotless inside and out, the clutch operated smoothly and the jeep was easy and fun to drive. Our caravan consisted of our guide plus five Jeep vehicles and it was very easy to keep up and stay together. The stop at the inlet with saltwater crocs was interesting and educational. Our time at the beach was totally relaxing. Do not miss out on a chicken quesadilla while you are there -- the three of us shared and it was simply awesome. I can't say enough about our guide David. He is an incredible asset to his company and an exceptional ambassador for the island of Cozumel! If you are in the market to explore the island a bit combined with some quality beach time -- and can drive a manual transmission vehicle, this is a great excursion choice!

Great time in Cozumel despite the rainy weather. The rain stopped for a few hours so we went on the excursion. It gave us a great view of the other side of the island and included a small mayan ruin, a wild crocodile viewing, beach time with snacks, snorkeling and lunch. Everything went great. The pro was that all the ship's excursions were cancelled but ours went! The con was that the jeeps were pretty beat up but ran decently and kept the rain out! The guides were pleasant, accomodating, helpful and fun. Would do it again!

November 25, 2012
We would highly recommend this shore excursion! We had no difficulties finding the representatives at the hotel (a brief walk from the dock), and our guide David was fantastic. Because there were only 6 of us, we had 2 Jeeps plus David's. Having a little extra time, he took us to a tequila tasting, where we were educated on the process of producing tequila. Driving there enabled us to see additional parts of the town of Cozumel. From there we drove (on a well-paved highway) to Punta Sur, where we saw the little Mayan ruin, crocodiles, and ended up on a lovely, uncrowded beach, where we snorkeled. Just wish we had more time at the beach. Then it was on to the lighthouse, where we enjoyed margaritas, and then back to the hotel for delicious fajitas. David was so helpful and very informative about the island and their culture. For the opportunity to see a large portion of the island and enjoy several experiences without a crowd, don't hesitate to sign up for this shore excursion!

This trip was a lot of fun! The guides were very friendly and the jeeps were in pretty good shape. The drive around the island was a lot of fun once we got out of the city. We didn't snorkle since the reef was out so far, but had a great time laying in the hammocks and drinking margaritas. The real highlight of the trip was the lighthouse visit since I have toured many in the past. We got to climb the lighthouse and even went outside the lens room for a great view. (This is something that is not allowed on any of the other 25+ lighthouse tours I've been on.) We ended up back at the hotel where we ate an average, and pretty bland meal. Not bad, not great. Overall, a nice off-the-ship excursion.

Best Excursion
June 30, 2012
Our ship docked late and we were concerned what would happen to our tour due to the fact we had a meeting time. The location off the pier was a quick walk and once there we were greeted by a guide who went to work right away to get us squared away. Lorenzo was an awesome guide who showed us to our Jeep (older but worked fine) and we set off following him in his jeep. The experience of just my husband and I and the guide made for a wonderful day. We stopped at various points along the Island including the lighthouse, a ruin, lagoon, and area to snorkel or relax. It concluded with a delicious chicken fajita lunch and the option to use the resorts pool. All in all one of the best excursions I have ever been on. HIghly recommend the use of this tour.

One excursion you gotta do. If you can, request that your guide be 'Lorenzo."" He is very knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable. The meal provided afterward was excellent. The vehicles were Jeep Wranglers with the tops down (make sure you bring the sun screen, expecially if you're a little thin on top) and were obviously used, but all things considered,they were in good shape. If you're not into the snorkling, the beach has enough shade to just sit back and relax for the 90 minutes that you're there. We had been to Cozumel on a privious cruise and although we did an excurison that visited some of the same places, this one was certainly more enjoyable because of Lorenzo. I could go on and on but the bottom line .... this was one of the most fun excrusions we've been on.

Great - Bring Sunblock!
June 16, 2011
I booked this snorkel adventure with the shore excursions group because I could not find the company they deal with directly. I paid about $8 more than the actual company charges but that's OK because I had the security of the shore excursion groups refund policy behind me. Not that we needed a refund, the tour was great! But it was nice to know that if a storm came through or the ship was unable to dock in Cozumel that we would get a full refund. You get off the ship and have to walk directly out of the port / terminal and cross the street. At the time I did this tour we went to the company's old offices 1 block down the street. They were building new offices 1 block in the other direction so in either case it was an acceptable walking distance crossing at a well-marked traffic signal. The tour takes you in a Jeep Wrangler convertible top so you will definitely have to bring sunscreen. I would also recommend a towel to sit on as our Jeep was black and you can imagine how hot the seats were with the sun beating down on them all day. But that was still fine by us. Because we were only 4 small groups of people, each group got their own Jeep. I was worried about having to share but my partner and I had an entire Jeep Wrangler to ourselves. The Jeep, as you might suspect being Mexico and being a tour vehicle, was not luxurious. The vents did not work so no A/C or heat. The radio turned on but got absolutely no reception of any kind. The Jeep had close to 100,000 miles on it and it was a 2008 model so it was well used. Although some A/C would have been nice, it was a lot of fun to go rugged. Back home I am used to my air conditioned seats (yes air conditioned seats, it's the ""in thing"" for 2011) and my climate comfort zones so going to the extreme opposite was awesome. Don't expect anything like an iPod dock, GPS, or any of the standard luxury items you expect when you purchase a new vehicle in America. First you drive to the other side of the Island about 45 minutes – 1 hour. The second half of this leg of the journey is on dirt roads which were quite bumpy. First we got to a swamp observatory where we saw plenty of alligators and iguana's roaming around. Then a short walk to the Mayan ruin which, let's be honest, wasn't much to crow about. It was ok and I did learn some things about the Mayan's but it wasn't much to look at. Then another drive for about 20 minutes, again along bumpy dirt roads. We got to a lighthouse at the bottom-tip of the island where we stopped for a bathroom break. You could walk up the stairs of the lighthouse or look in the museum. Some people sat in hammocks on the beach. I chose to go down to the water where waves crashed over large boulders and made for a great photo-op. Then we drove for about 30 minutes, again along dirt and even bumpier roads, where we finally arrived at the snorkeling spot. It was a quiet beach with a bar, bathroom facilities and plenty of umbrellas and places to relax. I had been snorkeling before but other people in the tour had not and they got annoying. Some twink swam right into me and slapped me with her fins. What really amazed me was that the tour guide actually CAME WITH US snorkeling. Everyone expected that he would stay on the beach but NO, he came with us in the water and toured us around the reef. The snorkeling lasted about 1 hour. Afterwards we showered off, had some water and got back in the Jeeps to drive back to the cruise terminal / port. We did not go the route back and so at no time did the driving seem boring or cumbersome. We arrived back at the starting point where we then walked across the street for our lunch. It consisted of tacos but not drinks. No problem though, a beer cost $2 and I knew that back on the ship I would replenish my dehydration. The setting was a resort hotel next to the cruise terminal and although it was outdoors the restaurant was completely covered and in the shade. Beware though… this is Mexico after all and when I went to the washroom there was no ""Watch Your Step"" sign. I stubbed my toe. And although back in America we think all those ""Watch Your Step"" signs are a bit silly and excessive, I guess they actually work! After everything was finished we had but a short distance to walk back to the cruise ship terminal and to the ship, less than 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was quite the adventure and considering the price of gas these days, the cost wasn't so bad for the value of the tour.

A truly fantastic, crowd-free excursion!
June 06, 2011
I am so glad we didn't book our excursion through the cruiseline onboard, and chose to use our discount with Cruises Only. Everyone from the ship was lined up for their excursions right at the pier ... and we were able to leave the crowd, walk a short distance to the El Cid resort to meet our tour guide for a fabulous day of Jeeping and snorkeling! The only negative was that our tour guide was late and we had to call from the resort to verify our reservation. But once he got there, we were on our way! In fact, we were the only people on the tour, so it was a very private day, and something we'll never forget! The view from the lighthouse is fantastic. And the snorkeling was great. It was our first time, and the guide was very helpful. I highly recommend wearing a hat and bringing a towel or something for your seat in the Jeep ... it got really HOT (and dusty). There is plenty of room in the Jeep for backpacks, etc. The lunch at the El Cid resort was delicious. I was so glad this excursion offered a full lunch and not just chips and salsa. We had the most delicious mango margheritas ... at an additional cost, but well worth it! We never felt rushed. Our guide let us take our time to walk, swim, relax, and we followed in our Jeep at a very nice pace to see the island.

Our tour guide was very friendly & we only had a total of 6 people in the excursion group. I am fair skinned & burn easily. I had applied 70spf sunblock several times & still got burned. The jeep does NOT have a/c and I had to put up the top on the jeep after getting burned on my head/shoulders from the sun. The tour took you along beautiful beaches & we saw crocs & a light house. I got so hot I thought I was going to pass out & that ruined my adventure. There was no a/c anywhere we went & I had to finally stand under water at the beach to cool down. My son enjoyed the snorkling & that was his favorite. We spent 1 1/2 hrs at the beach & you could swim/snorkle/lay in hammock. The lunch was very good with the chicken fajitas & was within walking distance to the pier where our ship was docked. It was hard to find the office, even though it was close to the ship dock. We had to ask directions to find it. This was a great value for the $ and you got to do alot. Just be sure & wear sunblock & bring a hat unless you want your head burned. I don't do well in extreme heat & thought I was going to be sick to my stomach several times due to heat.

Although we had a little difficulty identifying the tour office, our day was incredible! We experienced so much in the 4+ hour tour! We had a small group of 7. So, we were able to go at a nice pace. The ecological preserve was very rustic. The tour guide helped us spot crocodiles in their natural habitat, very quickly. And he was very informative about the small Mayan temple there. The Punta Celarain lighthouse had an absolutely, amazing view from the top. The waves crashed onto the rocky shore, sending sprays of water into the air, everywhere!It was gorgeous. Then we moved on to another beach. I had never been snorkeling before. Our guide gave good, simple instructions, and made sure we could do it, before taking our group out to the deeper waters. I loved it! I wish we could have stayed longer! Lunch was delicious and all too soon, it was time to go back aboard the ship. Just... AMAZING!

Tour guide and lunch were great. We have been on several Jeep tours in the Caribbean and this was a good one. The tour office was difficult to locate, they need better signage.

This Excursion Was JUST RIGHT!

Our guide was handsome and happy! He kept the tour going but let us have a lot of freedom to set the pace and direction. Being able to be in a topless jeep and drive the shoreline and thru ""light"" rain forest areas, seeing cultural, historic and natural things of interest was exactly what we wanted in an excursion. It felt REAL.

This was the icing on the cake of our cruise to Cozumel. Our guide was WONDERFUL! We loved every stop and felt like we really got to experience Cozumel fully in a short amount of time. I would do this again and again! There can't be a better way to enjoy Cozumel in one day!
