Cozumel: Customizable Private Jeep Excursion

If you are looking for the absolute best way to experience Cozumel, book a tour with Enrique immediately! He gave us a flawless, comprehensive look at the island that perfectly balanced stunning natural beauty, cultural history, and local flavors. We started our journey exploring the vibrant Downtown area and the central Main Square (Plaza Central), where Enrique shared fascinating insights into local island life. From there, he took us to the incredible Chocolates Kaokao Factory learning about the Mayan history of cacao and participating in a bean-to-bar tasting experience was an absolute highlight. Enrique then navigated us through the island's distinct regions, showing us the serene North Island and taking us deep to the breathtaking Punta Sur Eco Beach Park. Seeing the pristine lagoons, historic lighthouses, and coastal wildlife was unforgettable. We cruised down the rugged, undeveloped East Coast, stopping at the famous Coconuts Bar. Perched high on the island's only cliffside, it offered spectacular ocean views, a fun atmosphere, and the perfect place to unwind. Throughout the entire day, Enrique was incredibly professional, deeply knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. He timed our stops perfectly to avoid major cruise ship crowds and tailored the day to our rhythm. Thank you, Enrique, for sharing your beautiful island with us!

Diego was an amazing guide. He gave us the authentic Cozumel experience that we were looking for. He had some excellent suggestions and knows the island very well. He took us to the local market, a local taqueria, a free beach, a chocolate factory, a Cenote and to Tierra Maya (def a highlight!!) where we participated in some great hands-on activities. We knew we wanted to go to Tierra Maya and a beach when we booked the tour… and the rest of the time, Diego helped fill in the gaps. The jeep was in great condition with a great amount of a/c and very comfortable for the 3 of us. This was my third time in Cozumel, and this tour was way better than my previous trips where I spent most of my time at Chankanaab - swimming with dolphins and snorkeling. This time, we learned a lot about the real culture and people living on the island and really enjoyed our time. But Diego really knows his stuff and can cater to anyone’s tastes. He also had some great recommendations for all-inclusive beaches, but we chose to skip since we didn’t plan to spend too much time at the beach. Highly recommend.

Angelo, our driver was great and willing to take us wherever we wanted. He did suggest Tierra Maya, a hands on cultural activity taking us back thousands of years to the Mayan way of life. We learned about the importance of stingless bees and the various types of honey, converted cacao beans into chocolate powder, tasted various tequila products, made salsa like the Mayans did thousands of years ago, and made tortillas to eat with the homemade salsa. Very informative and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended excursion.

Irving was a great guide! He was very personable. He took us through Punta Sur and shared his knowledge on the park and on Myan culture.

Enrique was an excellent driver and an exceptional ambassador for the island. Great conversation, information and flexibility. Joel was super friendly and informative at the experience. Loved the attitude and insight he provided at every step of this hands on experience. I've never invited bees on my hand before, nor smelled the tequila on my flesh. I recommend doing this as a small group private tour.

We had an incredible experience exploring Cozumel with Enrique. He took us to some amazing spots, gave us some great history of the island and finished the day with the best meal we’ve had at Casa Mission. Highly recommend especially if you can get Enrique!

Our guide Enrique was a delight. We had a blast touring the island and learning the culture and history

We signed up for this private tour so we wouldn’t have to be on a bus with several others. We got to customize our tour and our wonderful guide Irvin was friendly and knowledgeable about his Island. We went to a few places near the cruise pier and drove around the island. We went to a bee farm where we learned all about the stingless bees native to Cozumel. Tasted all the different honeys they make, tried vanilla from there plants they grow. And we made chocolate. He then took us to the other side of the Island to a local quiet beach where we had time to swing on the beach, have a shoulder massage and a delicious lunch. We tried local tequila, which was delicious. We ended up buying the chocolate and caramel flavored ones. We even got to hold an iguana, which I was nervous about, but they were soft and very relaxed. Then he took us to a Mayan cenote water well. These are natural sinkholes are formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock, exposing groundwater. They were sacred to the Maya as water sources. They were so big and deep that we saw people, snorkeling, and scuba diving in them. We also saw crocodiles being lazy in the sun. Highly highly recommend this tour in our guide. Irving was the best.

Inreque was awesome!! Highly recommend! Showed us all the great spots! Taught us a ton about the culture!

Enrique was an amazing and knowledgeable host. We really enjoyed our trip around the island. He took us to some really fun and unique spots. Would 100% book this trip again.
