Things to do in Cozumel is about one of the worlds
most fun and diverse vacation destinations. I
decided to set up this web page to give you an idea
of the vast array of activities available here while
on vacation. I hope that you enjoy the photos and
descriptions, and I hope that you will choose
Cozumel for your next vacation getaway!
The past vs. the present:
I still remember my first visit to Cozumel. What
impressed me most was its people. The native Mayan
people are friendly and warm. The traditional Mayan
dress shown in this picture is seldom seen these
days except during folkloric dances held in various
places throughout the island. Also, today's
Cozumeleño is a little more non traditional!!.....
Cozumel Carnival!
Carnival 2014 was a blast as usual! There were
tons of great costumes, dancing, food, drinks,
floats and fun!! This photo was taken of one of the
locals that participated in 2008. Our Cozumel
Carnival page has the latest photos of this years
event on it. If you want to see a video of this
years Carnival you will find it on our Carnival
page. Make sure to come and enjoy the islands best
party of the year next year. To see a video of
Carnival 2013 just click on the clown!
If you would like to make reservations for your
accommodations during Carnival 2015 just click on
the sun icon. It is never too early to book for
Carnival.
Hope
to see you at Carnival!
Downtown:
As you can see downtown has a very special beauty
all its own. It sure has changed since my first
visit! The sleepy little fishing village of the past
has been replaced by a newer more diversified
vacation destination.
Oh well; the price of "progress!"
The Town Square on Sunday Night:
Don't let the first picture without
people fool you. Every Sunday night around 8:00 p.m. it
gets packed with locals and tourists alike, dancing to
the live band that plays downtown! I remember the first
time I heard them (around 26 years ago). They weren't
that good but we sure had fun. Well, they've gotten much
better and the fun is still the same!
Hey! What about that things to do list I promised?!
I have to admit I do get a little sentimental about
tradition; but we'll move on.
The first thought that comes to mind when I'm
thinking about my vacation is doing absolutely
nothing! After all, I've just been on an airplane, a
car, packing and wrapping up at work so I can get
away!
I can think of no better place to start unwinding
then Passion Island; if you want to experience
mother nature at her finest. It is one of the newest
activity to make the scene and is being written up
all over the internet.
It is about the hottest excursion on the island
since sliced tortillas!! :-)
Seriously, this is a must if you want to have the
most amazing tropical vacation on our island
paradise.
As always, just click on the photo to the left
and it will take you there!
Looking for a really cool and unique adventure to
do while in Cozumel? Then this is for you!
Cruise around in your own mini submarine!!!
See exotic flora & fauna and tropical marine fish
swim by you as you glide along in your personal
submarine. No water experience or special gear
needed for this eco-tour (works for guests wearing
contact lenses).
Compressed air in the helmet allows you to breath
comfortably- So go ahead and take your mini sub to a
depth of 15 feet. Our staff of certified SCUBA
divers serve as your underwater guides. Bring an
underwater disposable camera to document your
experience, and the staff will gladly take photos
for you!
The picture on the right was taken by me on a little
known spot on the southernmost tip of the island
(O.K. so it's a little blurry; that's because it was
taken in 1987!). My amigo Gillermo and friend
Christine went there to spend the day and eat some
fresh fruits and fish. We never saw anyone the whole
day! You can still experience the remote side of
Cozumel on the windward side of the island.
Horseback riding tour:
As you know, everyone on the island looks like
this! The fact is that horseback riding is very
popular and you can take a ride in the Jungles and
savannahs as well as on the beach. It's a lot of fun
and you can really relax while enjoying the ride.
Are you ready for an exciting ATV Adventure
through the heart of the Jungles of Cozumel? Well
this is the excursion for you.
You leave from the Mayan Town of “El Cedral,” and
visit a natural "cenote" (fresh water lagoon
connected through a labyrinth of underground
rivers), followed by an underground cave and later
on to visit a small Mayan Ruin; all of which are
tied to the Mayan Civilization.
After that you will be transported to one of
Cozumel’s beautiful beaches where if you choose you
may experience a one of a kind snorkel experience in
the pristine waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
One of the islands newest excursions is
Flyboarding. From beginner to experienced this
adventure is exillerating and fun! The picture on
the left was taken of Bradley's very first Flyboard
experience. For more information and to make
reservations just click on the picture and you will
be taken there. Her is also a YouTube video that
will give you a sneak preview of what you can
expect.
