Cozumel · FOOD & DRINK
The good food & drink experiences fill up days ahead and the cheap seats go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cozumel Chef food tour in English with 5 tastings, market and bakery stops, drinks, and AC minivan, small group up to 12.
“Erin was an excellent guide. We had 5 food stops plus a market stop. All of the food was wonderful. I definitely suggest this tour.”
Cozumel by e-bike with a small local group, then tacos and ice cream at real island spots in about 3 hours.
“Fun ebike tour followed by delicious tacos, what's not to like?? Our guide Milton was fantastic as was the woman doing the check-in's. Well run operation. Would do again in a heartbeat and highly recommend! Great job, guys!!!”
5-hour private Cozumel tour with hotel pickup, San Gervasio ruins, chocolate and tequila tastings, and Palancar Beach time.
“We had a great time with Roger he was the best Tour guide ever . He took us to see so many Beautiful things .”
Private boat snorkeling in Cozumel with Palancar, Colombia, El Cielo starfish, manta rays at El Cielito, plus ceviche, guac, and drinks.
“Our family of five (two adults and three kids) had an incredible day on this cruise excursion! From the start, our boat captain, Ruben, and snorkeling guide, Victor, were at the meeting point early and ready to go. Our first stop was a deeper snorkeling area where Victor was amazing—so patient and helpful, especially when our kids were struggling with their masks. Next, we visited an area full of beautiful starfish, and our last stop was a stunning sandbar with the clearest water I’ve ever seen. While we were swimming, we had large manta rays gliding right by us and even spotted a few barracuda in the distance. To top…”
Mayan-style chocolate making at Stingray Beach, then red and white wine pairings, all included in a small Cozumel group.
“Lucy was awesome, explaining the history of chocolate in Mayan culture, then teaching us as we made our own chocolate bar. We started with a yummy refreshing chocolate martini, then ended the 2 1/2 hrs with delicious wine & chocolate pairing! The venue was a beautiful air conditioned building right on Stingray Beach with a gorgeous view! Highly recommend this activity!”
Small-group Cozumel snorkeling: Palancar, Colombia, El Cielo starfish, and a manta ray pool, plus ceviche and drinks on a 3-hour boat.
“We took a taxi from the cruise terminal ($18 for up to 4 ppl) to the beach club for the tour. Boat holds 14 people & 2 staff; our trip had 12...it was tight. Three AWESOME stops. We could not ask for a better snorkeling experience. Oscar & Juan were friendly & competent. Food was great, drinks were cold. Plenty of time at the stops & plenty of wildlife! 3 nurse sharks, 1 turtle, 20 stingrays (even swimming thru our legs) plus a bunch of nice reef fish! Excellent value.”
Shore snorkel at Cozumel’s protected reefs, then relax at a beach club with a tequila tasting and optional massage.
“Beautiful reef, great service from waiters. I waited to get picked up, then i texted the tour operator who never responded, finally asked around the post area and paid $15.00 each way for taxi ride. Tequila tasting requires a tip. If you want to purchase a bottle the price ranges from $60.00 to $250.00. In addition, too much haggling. I was paying to be at a private venue and I was bombarded with people trying to sell me things. Not as relaxing as what I expected. There is no beach it is a reef.”
3-hour Cozumel food tour with Yucatecan street snacks, a traditional market visit, and home-cooked meals in local cocina economica.
“We had a fantastic time! The food was amazing and the salsas were delicious. We would definitely recommend”
Cozumel power snorkel on a sea scooter plus homemade tequila tastings, Mayan dance, chocolate and lunch in a small-group tour.
“Our guides went above and beyond to provide a great experience! We changed snorkeling locations because they warned us that there would be jellyfish near the ship following some bad weather the prior day, which we appreciated. We also had a delicious lunch at a local spot after the tequila and chocolate tasting.”
San Francisco Beach Club day pass in Cozumel with lounge chairs, meal voucher, 5 drinks, snorkel gear, kayaks, Wi-Fi, jet ski or parasailing.
“We done a tour in Cozumel in 2023 and at the end of the tour we were brought to this beach club, we had a great time, it was very relaxed ! So when we were doing this port again on our cruise this year, we decided to book this beach club for the day! Upon arrival we were very disappointed to find that we were brought to a different part for the pre booked people! The chairs were different and the lounges were different even the food was different! We called for the manager and explained everything to him… he informed us that the part we were brought to…”
Power snorkel on sea scooters in Cozumel, then Mayan dance, tequila tasting, and homemade chocolate and salsas at La Monina.
“This was a great experience. Our guides were locals who were very knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. (Especially Adolfo) However, for some reason I thought we were being taken out on a boat. Not so. The guides take you down the beach where you enter the water. Not a bit deal, just a surprise. Also, the waves & currents can make you a bit seasick if you don't ocean-snorkel often. But really, we had a great time & saw some amazing fish & wildlife. We are both nearly 70 & if we can do it, anyone can. Since my husband & I don't drink, we left off the tequila tasting &…”
Cozumel cacao workshop, Mayan village visit, tequila tasting, and taco lunch. Make a chocolate bar to take home in 4 hours.
“Our group of 22 really enjoyed every part of the tour!! The tour guides at both the Chocolate Factory & the Tequila Factory were very knowledgeable and friendly. The food at the restaurant was really good and came quick. We appreciate both Adolfo our travel agent and Memo our tour guid for such an amazing experience!!!”
3-hour small-group mezcal and tequila tasting in Cozumel with lunch, snack pairings, history, and shopping time. Adults only.
“Such a fun and informative afternoon tasting tequila and mezcal. Melisa was so passionate and engaging. We were a small group of 4. The tasting paired with fruits were wonderful and it was followed by a really nice lunch. I highly recommend this experience. Short cab ride from town.”
A 3-hour Cozumel food and culture tour in English, with Mayan village rituals, Mercado tastings, and a local restaurant stop.
“The tour was very informative and interesting. Our guide was fun and really shared the culture from past to present.”
Private Cozumel snorkeling by boat to El Cielo, with reef stops, snacks, and cold drinks for up to 10 people.
“We arrived at the beach club and after a short way we were on our boat with our captain Ruben and snorkeling guide Victor. They both did a great job and we hit three spot deep water snorkeling, star fish shallows and then chilling anchored at El cielo for drinks, grub and looks of sun, and sting rays cruising past. If you want a great private experience for two or a family; two thumbs up! And bring your camera for amazing pictures”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
