Things to do in Cozumel?

Question

My husband and I are taking our first cruise vacation in January and one of the ports is Cozumel. We are looking for something to do when we are in port and don't want to book through the excursions on the cruise line as they seem to be a more expensive option to planning on our own. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would recommend you rent a jeep and do a self tour of the island. The east side of the island is very interesting and beautiful. It kind of like the wide side of the island. Big waves and some rip tides. Bring your camera. There is an area you can safely swim in on that side (Chen Rio beach)

A couple of cute and interesting bars Coconuts and Mezcalito's. Relax and have a drink.

You can rent a jeep for about $50. After you do your tour of the east side, go into town and do some shopping. The further you go from the down town area (water front) the cheaper the prices. You can do some bargaining with the small shop keepers.

You can always, get a cab and go to one of the local beaches and hang out.

Enjoy your cruise. Cozumel and the people are very nice.)

We chartered a boat and did some snorkeling. We arranged it before we left. It was really great and we saw some fun spots. Another time we were there on a cruise we went to the National Park, Chaakanab. It was nice, we got to swim with the dolphins and the park is really nice. It's a $10 cab ride then the entrance is quite pricey. Check for them on the web.

I disagree that there is nothing to do at Cozumel. We really enjoyed it. There is shopping of course.

there is really nothing to do in cozumel. Um...you can shop. Thats about it. I've been there and the only thing i did was got my hair braided. If you guys dont do excursions then you would have to find stuff to do and there is nothing. I hope I helped you! Have fun!
