Cozumel · FOOD & DRINK EXPERIENCES
Yucatán cooking is its own thing: cochinita, recado rojo, habanero on the table by default. These 15 walk the markets, the taquerías and the bars, priced, timed and clear on how hungry to arrive.
Taste Cozumel beyond the tourist strip with five local food stops, market visits, Yucatecan specialties, drinks, and a small-group guide.
“This was a wonderful way to experience the local culture and food. We went 5 local eateries to taste the local flavors. Erin was a fantastic guide to give us some history and information about how the locals live and eat. Highly recommend”
Review of Cozumel’s 5-hour Fury catamaran to Palancar Reef, El Cielo, and a private beach with snorkeling, lunch, and open-bar drinks.
“excellent team and a lot of fun on the boat. very well organized”
Review of Cozumel’s private Jeep and Polaris RZR tour, with east-coast stops, chocolate and tequila tastings, and a Mexican lunch.
“We enjoyed the visit to the East side of the island and the chocolate demonstration and the tequila tasting, but the tour fell from there. The Razor ride through the jungle didn’t happen because the wait for the machines was more than an hour long and that was too long to wait in the heat. There are no assigned times - just first come first serve. Lunch at Cocos Beach club was good but all you get is food - drinks are to be paid for, and there was NO snorkeling available at all. Fernando was a good guide but if you want to get out and see the island…”
Make a Mayan chocolate bar and chocolate margarita in Cozumel while learning about cacao, tequila, food traditions, and local life.
“This tour was very informative and lots of fun for our family. I was pleasantly surprised that we not only learned a lot about chocolate and tequila, but we got to make our own chocolate! Our tour guide, Angel, was the best. I highly recommend doing this with a friend or a small group.”
Taste 10 regions of Mexico in Cozumel with paired spirits, expert storytelling, and a lively audio-visual dinner for 12 or fewer.

Review of Cozumel’s 3-hour e-bike city tour, with local history, beach time, ice cream, three tacos, guides, safety tips, and value advice.
“Although we tried to cancel in time (there was no answer at the business, and two of our party members became sick), I was still charged for four tickets when only two came. The guide was great, but we had a bad experience with the business, which was unwilling to refund the two tickets. I would still like a refund,”
See lively Mexican lucha libre in Cozumel, with interactive wrestling, three tacos, two margaritas, and easy access from the cruise port.
“This was a very fun event. Extremely athletic action. Very talented performers. We had a great time.”
Explore Cozumel by private van with chocolate, tequila, Maya ruins, coastal views, and Palancar Beach in a flexible five-hour tour.
“This is the first time we have used Viator. The company was very receptive to our needs (e.g. we did not want to go to a seafood restaurant, so it was changed). Sergio was super informative and had terrific personality. I will definitely be booking other tours with Viator and especially with Sergio when in Cozumel.”

Learn Mayan chocolate-making at Stingray Beach in Cozumel, then pair Mexican chocolates with red and white wine in a small group.
“We had a great time, making the chocolate and then doing the chocolate and wine pairing. Lucy and Wendy made the whole experience. A lot of fun. They have a beautiful, air-conditioned location and we truly enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend this activity.”
Make guacamole, pico de gallo, and other salsas, learn salsa dancing, then enjoy Playa Mia beach access in Cozumel.
“I really enjoyed this activity as well as my family. The salsa turned out to be delicious. The salsa class was fun as well. I would recommend this if you want an alternative to the normal watersport activities. I just wish I could have gotten the recipes because everything was so good.”
Review the Money Bar Cozumel day pass with shore snorkeling, guided reef tour, Mexican lunch, costs, restrictions, and booking tips.
“Servers and food/drinks were amazing but the snorkel instructor seemed cranky and a little pushy trying to sell underwater pictures after. There are better areas to snorkel on the island but it was still gorgeous and a great experience.”

Review of El Cielo Cozumel’s small boat snorkel tour, with Palancar and Colombia reefs, starfish, stingrays, snacks, drinks, and beach access.
“Small group, which is what I wanted. Set up for 12 people. Turned out to be 9. Crew was so friendly and helpful too, if anyone needed help. Three beautiful locations, first one-lots of fish. Second one- lots of starfish. Third one- lots of stingrays and shallow water. All beautiful.”
