Your Cozumel Private Highlights and Shopping Excursion will start when you are greeted by your English speaking, certified local guide and driver, directly at your cruise terminal. The route most guests decide on has you passing through downtown while your experienced guide will tell you the story of Cozumel, its folklore and history before going across the island to the "other" side, the east coast.
You can make a stop to enjoy a Tequila Tour and learn how this world famous liquor is grown, harvested, distilled and bottled. You will be offered tequila samples such as Blanco, Anejo, Reposado, etc. There are even bottles for purchase to take back home.
The next stop is usually the east side, the uninhabited side of Cozumel island where there are no resorts, crowds or even electricity...just miles of white sandy beaches and the wild open turquoise ocean...some of the best sightseeing in Cozumel, Mexico. The only thing you will find here are just a couple of small beach bars/restaurants and you might want to stop at the most famous one, Coconuts Bar and Grill located on the highest spot on the island. Enjoy the stunning views from the restaurants cliffs 41 ft above the water. You may want to order from the menu as Coconuts Bar and Grill Restaurant offers excellent drinks, ice cold beer and great food.
The tour then generally continues around Cozumel island past Punta Sur Eco Park before going to "El Cedral". This tiny but extremely important spot was the first settlement on the island and an ancient Maya post. You still see the remains of a Mayan ruin and the first church of Cozumel. Your guide will tell you how this tiny settlement played a significant role in the history of Cozumel Island. There you will also find numerous handcraft stores with souvenirs, jewelry, clothes and trinkets. Guests of Cozumel Water Sports enjoy a special 20% discount on black coral purchases at the designated store.
Then it is off to return to Cozumel downtown to take care of your shopping list! Along the main street and plaza, you will find everything from sombreros, name brand jewelry, t-shirts, diamonds, sterling silver, vanilla...there is something for everyone. Your guide is there to assist you in finding everything you need and at the best price.
This is just a suggested itinerary...you can choose other options such as San Gervasio ruins, other beach clubs, etc. but there may be additional entry fees or costs. Your private driver will take you back to the comforts of your ship when your tour is completed.
