Cozumel: Private Jeep & Polaris RZR Tour with Mexican Lunch

Summary

Jeep drive coastal views polaris rzr jungle ride chocolate tequila tasting beach lunch cozumel

You’ll drive your own Jeep along Cozumel’s coast, then tackle jungle trails in a Polaris RZR before learning how to make chocolate and tortillas by hand (and tasting plenty of tequila). Finish with tacos at a beach club where time slows down and you can just breathe for a while.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I remember is our guide, Miguel, waving us over at the pier with this huge grin—like he already knew we were about to get dusty. He handed me the keys to our Jeep (automatic, thank god), and I swear I hesitated for a second because driving in Cozumel sounded way cooler than my usual commute. We followed Miguel along the coast, windows down, salt air everywhere. At some point he pulled over by El Mirador and just let us wander. The rocks there are sharp underfoot but kind of beautiful—waves crashing so loud you have to shout. A local kid tried to sell us coconuts; I bought one mostly for the photo but ended up finishing it anyway.

The next bit was pure adrenaline—Polaris RZRs lined up like little beasts at Sabores de Cozumel Park. I’m not really an off-roader but apparently that doesn’t matter here. The trail was muddy in spots (should’ve worn darker shorts), and every bump made us laugh harder. Afterward, we wiped mud off our faces and joined this hands-on chocolate demo where you actually grind cacao beans. My arms still ache thinking about it. There was tortilla making too—Li laughed when I tried to say “nixtamal” in Spanish (I probably butchered it). Tequila tasting after that felt earned; smoky, sweet, then suddenly warm all over.

Lunch at Coco’s Beach Club was slower—sun on my arms, toes in sand, tacos that tasted like someone’s grandma made them right there. People lounged around or floated in the sea; nobody rushed anything. Miguel came by just to check if we needed more water or maybe another round of guac (always yes). It’s funny how fast you go from roaring engines to total quiet except for waves and distant laughter. I still think about that view from my chair—blue on blue on blue—and how easy it felt to just sit there for once.
