The experience

The day starts at your hotel or cruise port with pickup included, and the guide meets you in an air-conditioned automatic Jeep. You'll drive to Cenote El Aerolito first (an underground cave system with cool freshwater and dramatic rock formations), where you swim surrounded by stalactites and the quiet of the subterranean space. From there, the Jeep takes you along Cozumel's wild east side, stopping at El Mirador, a natural rock outcrop where the Caribbean crashes against the shore, and at Playa San Martín, an unspoiled beach with no crowds.

At Sabores de Cozumel, you strap into a semi-automatic ATV and ride through jungle trails and mud ponds: closed-toe shoes are required for this part. When you return, there's a tasting of handmade chocolate, fresh tortillas, and premium artisanal tequila made for the tour. The snorkeling happens at Paraiso Bajo Reef Beach Club at kilometer 6.5 on the Costera Sur, where you walk straight onto the boardwalk and into the water in front of the Paraiso Bajo Reef: no boat, no long ride out. The reef is right there, and the guide leads the snorkel. Afterward, you have Mexican lunch (tacos or fajitas) at the beach club, with access to lounge chairs, freshwater pools and a Jacuzzi. Bottled water and sodas are provided throughout the tour.

The whole experience runs about 5 hours. You need to be at least moderately fit for the ATV riding and snorkeling. The ATV portion isn't available for pregnant participants or anyone with back or neck problems, and snorkeling isn't available for people with heart or lung problems, asthma, or those using insulin. If you want to drive the ATV, you must be at least 16 years old with closed-toe shoes. If you're riding as a passenger on an ATV, you need to be at least 6. For the Jeep driving portion, you need to be 18 with a valid driver's license. Snorkeling requires a minimum age of 5.
