3.KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Spend eight hours at KUZÁ Beach Park in Cozumel with a taco-making class, buffet, open bar, beach time, culture, and optional water sports.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

Jeronimo and Angie (his sister from another mother) were excellent hosts to our group of 5! Everything was delicious! Made our own tortillas too :)”

5.Chocolate Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 92 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $39Best value

Make Mayan-style chocolate in Cozumel, grind cacao by hand, learn its history, and take home your own chocolate disk.

“My family and I booked this tour primarily for our children. I’m pretty sure they love chocolate more than my wife and I. Overall, the tour was very informative and interactive. The entire family learned a ton about Mayan culture, Cocoa, and the local vegetation. The chocolate workshop, itself, was great experience and a bit of arm workout. My daughters are ages 8 & 12, and they both seemed to really enjoy it. Lastly, I thought the chocolate was great, but my children seemed to be hypnotized by American milk chocolate! We definitely recommend for families and groups.”

Our family was in port for the day via a cruise ship and we were picked at the agreed to location on time. We were taken to a beach where we were met the surf team and were taught the essentials before hitting the water. Our family enjoys small group interactions with local guides that enjoy sharing their talents and talking about the local area.
