Cozumel: Mayan Chocolate Workshop & Margarita ClassYou’ll feel cacao between your fingers as you make real Mayan chocolate in Cozumel, try fresh tortillas with local sauce, and shake up a chocolate margarita with help from friendly guides. Taste, laugh, get your hands dirty—and leave with new flavors (and stories) stuck in your head.
Cozumel: Seaside Chocolate Workshop & Wine TastingYou’ll grind cocoa beans by hand on Cozumel’s seaside terrace, shape your own chocolate using ancient techniques, then sample seven types of Mexican chocolate paired with red and white wines. A local guide shares stories and pours you a chocolate martini or cocoa drink as you relax by the water—a sweet memory that lingers long after you leave.
Cozumel: Mayan Cooking Class & Traditional Recipes TastingYou’ll cook side-by-side with locals in Cozumel, learning ancestral Mayan recipes like cochinita pibil and sikilp’aak’. Expect laughter over sticky dough, new flavors from fresh ingredients, and real stories behind every dish. This is hands-on cooking that feels like joining someone’s family for lunch — not just watching from the sidelines.
Cozumel E-Bike Tour & Taco Tasting with Local GuideGet ready to ride an e-bike through Cozumel’s colorful streets with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Taste three kinds of authentic tacos downtown and catch glimpses of daily island life — from WWII planes to hidden murals — all in half a day you’ll remember long after you leave.
Cozumel Cooking Class: Mexican Recipes in Josefina's KitchenA 3-hour hands-on cooking class in Cozumel limited to 6 students, held in Josefina's home kitchen with her son Jeronimo as an alternative instructor. The class begins at El Mercado, Cozumel's local market, where you learn to select fresh traditional ingredients from vendors, then move to the kitchen to prepare handmade tortillas, sauces, guacamole and side dishes using authentic Mexican cooking tools. You'll make margaritas or agua frescas, enjoy the meal you've cooked, and leave with Josefina's e-cookbook of family recipes. The class is available in English or Spanish, and vegetarian and gluten-free options are available with advance notice.Is it for me?The class involves a small amount of walking on uneven surfaces at the market and some time standing in the kitchen, so it suits someone comfortable with light activity and hands-on work. If you want to learn Mexican cooking from someone who cooks it every day, in her own kitchen, with recipes you can take home and make again, this is built for that.
ATV & Cenote Tour Cozumel: Jade Cavern & Tequila TastingThis shore excursion combines ATV riding through Cozumel's jungle, a swim in Jade Cavern (the island's largest cenote), and an authentic tequila tasting, all guided in English or Spanish. The five-hour experience includes round-trip transport from your ship, cenote entry with lifevest, ATV rental and safety equipment, and a tasting session that walks you through the traditional distillation process. You must have a valid driver's license and be at least 16 to ride; children from age 7 can join as passengers on a double ATV with an adult.Is it for me?Book this if you want to move through Cozumel's interior rather than stay on the beach—the ATV ride and cenote swim are the core, and the tequila tasting rounds out the experience without padding it. The fixed schedule works because the tour is built around cruise timing, so you're not managing your own return to the ship.
Cozumel Craft Beer & Mezcal Tasting Tour with Brewery TastingsThis guided tasting tour in Cozumel combines a brewery tour at Punta Sur with mezcal and food pairings at Mezcalteca, a short walk away. You'll taste four distinct craft beers with guacamole, four varieties of mezcal with tacos made from fresh ingredients, and finish with a sweet mezcal paired with a local dessert. A professional guide leads the experience in English or Spanish, and the whole tour runs about two and a half hours. Minimum age is 18 for the beer and mezcal tastings; bring your ID to verify.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're cruising into Cozumel and want a guided tasting experience that moves between two venues without you arranging the stops or the pairings—the brewery, the food, the mezcal varieties and the timing are all planned. It works best for groups of mixed experience with beer and mezcal, since the guide explains what you're tasting and why.
Mexican Cooking Class in Cozumel: Make Tortillas & TacosA hands-on Mexican cooking class in Cozumel at KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park where you learn to make fresh tortillas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor in a shaded beachfront palapa, then spend the rest of the day swimming, lounging, and eating at the park's all-inclusive buffet and bar. The class runs 8 hours total and includes a guide in English or Spanish; transportation to the park is available on one of the two purchase options.Is it for me?Book this if you want to learn a real cooking skill in a beach setting without spending the whole day in a kitchen—the palapa is steps from the water, so you move straight from making tacos to swimming in them. The 8-hour format means you're not rushed through the class or left with nothing to do afterward; the cooking, the beach, and the food all fit into one day.
Cozumel: Jeep Adventure, Cenote Swim & Mayan Food TastingYou’ll drive your own Jeep around Cozumel’s wild coastlines, swim in a sacred cenote, taste ten types of tequila (with plenty of laughs), learn about Mayan honey and chocolate at Otoch park, then share lunch under jungle trees while local guides bring ancient traditions to life right in front of you.
