Walk San Gervasio's ancient grounds, then snorkel at your own pace with all the gear you need

A five-hour Cozumel tour pairs a guided walk through San Gervasio Mayan ruins with snorkeling and beach time at Tortugas Snorkel Center, led by a guide accredited by Mexico's Secretary of Tourism. Private air-conditioned transport, a full Mexican lunch with rice horchata, snorkel gear and life vest, and a tequila tasting are included; if ocean conditions turn rough, the afternoon shifts to shopping in Downtown instead of the beach.

The Experience

Five hours covers the full arc: a certified guide walks you through San Gervasio's ancient sanctuary, then you move to Tortugas Snorkel Center for the afternoon. The guide is accredited by Mexico's Secretary of Tourism, so the ruins stop is not a surface pass—you get the actual history. Private air-conditioned transport keeps you cool between sites, and a cooler of cold water rides along for the whole day.

Snorkeling happens at your own pace with all gear and a life vest supplied. If you want more—spotting extra marine life, understanding what you're seeing underwater—you can hire a local guide on-site for a small fee. The beach day includes a full Mexican lunch: fajitas, quesadillas, tacos (chicken, beef, or fish), nachos, and authentic rice horchata made with soaked rice, cinnamon and vanilla. A tequila tasting rounds out the afternoon; no purchase necessary, just a chance to sample.

Weather and ocean conditions shape the day. If conditions aren't favorable for snorkeling, the afternoon becomes shopping time in Downtown Cozumel instead. Cruise ship passengers need to provide ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time at booking so the timing works with your return. Vegetarian meals are available—just mention it when you reserve.
