3 Popular Cozumel Excursions

Mr. Sanchos Beach

Mr. Sanchos Beach is a very popular destination when visiting Cozumel. If you have done any research looking for what to do in Cozumel, you probably saw Mr. Sanchos pop up.

I found Mr. Sanchos offered through a couple of private entities, but definitely check with your cruise line to see if Mr. Sanchos is available to book through your cruise line.

• Mr. Sanchos is pretty inexpensive, coming in at around $60 per person (prices are subject to change).

• When visiting the beach club, you will get the chance to enjoy different activities offered, food, and lots of drinks. They will keep you full of drinks, for sure!

• I also found that Mr. Sanchos offers an all-inclusive romantic day pass, including a cabana on a private section of the beach. This package comes in around the $250 mark.

Standup Paddle Board and Snorkeling Adventure

Snorkeling and paddleboarding in the Caribbean are very popular activities, and I found similar shore excursions offered through Celebrity and Royal Caribbean.

Pricing varies, such as if you choose to book a package to do multiple activities or separate activities.

Tulum Ruins

Another popular destination in Mexico is visiting the Mayan ruins. I have not had a chance to do this myself, so it is on the top of my list when I return. You can find the Tulum Mayan Ruins offered at some great deals and are usually coupled with a beach break as well.

This Mayan Ruins Beach Break excursion will pick you up from your hotel or cruise port.

You can also find some excursions with a cenote experience added in.

It is recommended to wear slip-resistant shoes when walking through the Cenote.

• Check for reputable companies, such as Viator or Trip Advisor.

• Always check refund policies no matter if you are cruising or staying in a hotel.

• Ensure they have a policy to get you back to your cruise port on time.

• Always check reviews from others before booking

• Be careful of booking anything through a Facebook group or any other social media group

Tips for booking Your Excursion

• Keep in mind the time it takes to get to the excursion if you are on a cruise. For instance, the excursion may be 5 hours in duration, but it could approximately take 45 minutes one way from the port to the excursion.

• For me, I like to pick excursions that are close by, so I am getting a little longer time for my adventures.

• If you are booking an excursion that is a good distance from your hotel or cruise port, you can opt for a ferry ride to enjoy on the way to your excursion. Just be cautious of potential motion sickness.

Pros and Cons of Third-Party Shore Excursions:

• If you are staying in a hotel, third party excursions may be your only option. Be sure to follow the following when picking a third-party excursion.
