Cozumel: ATV Jungle Tour, Snorkeling & Beach Club Lunch

Summary

ATV adventure through Cozumel’s jungle with tequila tasting and snorkeling

You’ll ride ATVs through Cozumel’s jungle with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Taste handmade chocolate and sample eight kinds of tequila at Sabores de Cozumel Park before relaxing over a real Mexican lunch at Coco’s Beach Club. Snorkeling is right off the shore—no boats or crowds—just you, the fish, and maybe a little sunburn if you forget sunscreen.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway down a muddy trail in Cozumel before I realized how loud the jungle could be — birds shouting overhead, engines humming under us, and our guide, Diego, laughing at my complete lack of steering skills. The air smelled like wet earth and something sweet I couldn’t place. Every so often we’d stop for Diego to point out a plant or tell a story about growing up nearby. He said his grandmother still makes chocolate by hand; I believed him after tasting a piece that melted instantly on my tongue. The ATV part was messy (my shoes are still recovering), but honestly, that made it better.

I didn’t expect to learn so much about tequila — apparently there’s more to it than just shots at bars back home. Eight types lined up for us at Sabores de Cozumel Park, each with its own weirdly specific smell (one reminded me of pepper, another of old wood). Diego explained the difference between blanco and añejo while we tried not to look too clueless. He even taught us how to toast in Spanish — “Salud!” — though I probably said it wrong because he grinned every time I tried.

By the time we got to Coco’s Beach Club for lunch, my arms were tired but in that good way. The tacos tasted like someone actually cared about them — fresh tortillas, lime juice everywhere. After eating we just wandered down to the water and grabbed snorkel gear; no boat needed, you just walk right in. Fish darted around my legs and there was this moment underwater where everything went quiet except for my own breathing. I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy back home.
