Excursions in Cozumel
Popular excursions in Cozumel include snorkeling or diving at the world-famous Palancar Reef, Stingray Beach encounters, and ATV or jeep tours through the island’s jungle to Mayan ruins. Many visitors book catamaran snorkel trips that combine reef stops with beach time and open-bar, while others prefer the calmer Chankanaab National Park for swimming with dolphins or relaxing on the beach.
