“Took a private tour in Cozumel with my husband, my parents, and our two sons (ages 7 and 5), and it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Angelo, was vibrant, knowledgeable, and engaging for all ages. We began at the Mayan ruins, then visited Tierra Maya for a hands-on experience where we made tortillas, fresh tomato sauce, and guacamole. We also learned how chocolate is made and discovered fascinating facts about native bees. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch at a local spot with delicious, authentic food that was very reasonably priced. We absolutely loved the experience and highly recommend this tour.”

“Carlos was a nice driver to take us around the island. We arrived early because we got off our ship early and the arrival was local time, an hour behind. We enjoyed seeing the nature preserve area, sandy beach and climbing up the lighthouse. It was nice to customize things by requesting to skip one stop and head back at the 4 hour mark and we were dropped right at our cruise terminal. We were very happy we saw a lot of the island without having to figure out where to go ourselves.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 245 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $134

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…”

“The private Jeep and ATV to Jade Cavern was a great tour to see Cozumel outside the bustling port area. Our tour guide Johnny was friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent!!! He was able to make some changes on the fly (based on weather conditions and what we wanted to do). We fit so much into our time in Cozumel! Despite the mixed reviews of Jade Cavern, I would see it again. It was unlike anything I had seen before and it did NOT stink! The drive to Jade Cavern was an adventure all by itself. We had two jeeps, so my boyfriend got to drive one. Navigating the rocks and bumps…”

“Great day in Cozumel with our guide Fernando. The open buggy was a lot of fun and a great way to tour the island. Visiting several beaches and great views for awesome picture taking too. We finished at a beach resort where our grandkids had the best time. Swimming in the ocean and playing on the floating rafts. Lunch was also included which was a typical Mexican meal of Tacos and Fajitas all served family style which we shared. Our guide provided cold drinks and was very friendly and informative too. He was born in Cozumel and his family is still there as well, and we could tell he loves…”
