Discover the hidden gems in warm, welcoming Isla Cozumel. When you step off the boat, make sure you also step off the beaten tourist track with a private Cozumel shore excursion tour that promises to show you both the popular and lesser known attractions of this beautiful island.

People from all over the world flock to Cozumel's spectacular reefs for fantastic snorkelling and diving adventures. Your guide will be happy to find you a quiet beach where you can enjoy the colourful underwater marine life. If you prefer to keep your feet dry, a hike to the lighthouse at Punta Molas is a must. And for a dose of Mayan history, visit the ancient site of El Castillo Real. If you're lucky enough to make it to Cozumel in February, your guide will insist on showing you a fun time at the island's annual Mardi Gras Carnival.

Feel free to personalize any of the Cozumel tour itineraries to suit your interests - your guide wants you to have a magical, memorable time exploring his island of Cozumel.
