Cozumel Private Sightseeing Shore Excursion
Enjoy a broad and pleasant overview of Cozumel island on this private shore excursion. After pickup from the cruise-ship or ferry pier at a time of your choosing, your personal driver takes your group to a variety of sights on Cozumel, in air-conditioned comfort. Discover the role the island’s Aztec Eagles pilots played in World War II. Then, stop at a chocolate factory to learn how the Maya people made and used chocolate. Follow your chocolate tasting by discovering the flavors of tequila—with nonalcoholic honey drinks available for kids. Next, opt to explore the San Gervasio Mayan Ruins (entry at your own expense). Continue along the coastal highway, discovering the island’s less-touristed east coast. Finish your outing at Playa Palancar beach, where you can swim, snorkel, or purchase drinks and/or lunch at a beach club, before your driver returns you to the pier.
