We offer you the best of Cozumel! If you had only one day to enjoy the island, what should you do? Here is the answer: Drive around the island, snorkel great reefs and visit Faro Celarain Eco Park.

Your guide will welcome you upon arrival at the ferry pier on Cozumel. A short walk through the downtown area of Cozumel will bring you to the parking lot where your fun island car awaits you. On board of a Volkswagen Beetle your guide will drive you around the island and show you its unique beauties.
After a scenic ride over the coastal road that leads south from town you will arrive to Faro Celarain Eco Park. The reserve protects over a thousand hectares (2471 acres) of coastal dunes, mangroves, reefs, lagoon systems and the most stunning beaches of the Mexican Caribbean. You will visit the small Caracol ruin, constructed by the ancient Maya to alert them for hurricanes. You will also get the chance to see crocodiles from a wooden pier build on the shores of the Colombia Lagoon. Climb the watchtower for a better view over the lagoon and its bird island.
 
                                                                                           



















We then continue on to the light house which offers even more amazing views over the island. In addition you can visit the museum on marine history.

A special park vehicle will bring us to the beach area. The park protects 2 kilometers (1.5 miles) of powder white sand beaches; one of the most beautiful and tropical sights available in the Caribbean.

Snorkeling
Cozumel offers some of the best coral reefs right from shore. You will be amazed with colorful marine life such as corals, aquatic plants, fish, reef creatures and sometime even turtles!
Your guide will choose the ideal reef to snorkel at depending on your snorkel experience and weather conditions. Before going out to the reef you will receive the necessary snorkeling instructions.




















  Time to eat!!
Back at the beach it is time to relax, kick back and enjoy an island’s specialty lunch.




Enjoying Cozumel


After leaving the Eco Park you will continue to drive around the island over the east side of Cozumel. You may pause as often as you wish to take pictures or simply enjoy the spectacular views over the Caribbean Sea.

We then drive back to the downtown area where we leave the vehicle and you are free to stay a while longer before taking the ferry back to Playa del Carmen.
