Cuizer2 Posted February 24, 2017 #101 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm looking for some specific information about Chankanaab. Trying to decide whether to just take a taxi and pay to get into the park or go thru a private excursion company which includes entrance, beach chairs (but I think everyone can use all beach chairs), snorkeling equipment, and buffet lunch. Can anyone tell me the separate costs for snorkeling and lunch buffet? I can't find that information anywhere. Thanks! You are correct. I found everything you want to know about snorkeling except the price. I did find one mention of price, here is a link ... https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/cozumel/chankanaab-beach-park-snorkel-all-inclusive-day-pass.html?gclid=CNuy7_Lcp9ICFUpNfgodGYEFGw Here they are advertising $40 which includes park admission ... https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/cozumel/chankanaab-beach-park-snorkel-all-inclusive-day-pass.html?gclid=CNuy7_Lcp9ICFUpNfgodGYEFGw#Incuded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out the cost of doing it all on my own, (ie entrance fee $21 minus $2 coupon, plus cost of lunch, plus cost of snorkeling). I just can't find those costs anywhere. Basically, if we do the excursion, we're paying$20pp for lunch and snorkeling, which seems reasonable to me. We'll probably just book it:) Thanks!

I've booked manatee swims directly with the park and of course I knew the price when I booked it. So the only thing I can suggest is to do a mock booking then do the math. But if you are asking, how much is lunch, then that depends on whether you are eating grilled cheese or lobster and how many lobsters you are going to eat.

Swamp Cruiser Posted March 6, 2017 #104 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Private Jeep Tour for the day; Going to the "Other Side" of the Island with only you and your party with a guide in the back of your Jeep. Stops along the way at anywhere you want including snorkeling,drinks and lunch included; Then end up at The Money Bar before heading back to the ship. I've been to Cozumel 25+ times and have about done it all. Been to every beach club/shop and water and land tour around. I usually rent my on car now days.

navybaby1113 Posted March 6, 2017 #105 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Salsa, Salsa, and Margaritas through Carnival was awesome. We did it on Christmas day a couple years ago. You have a gorgeous view over the ocean. You get unlimited margaritas (or non-alcoholic drinks) while you learn how to make different types of salsa. You get additional food like chips and quesadillas to eat with your salsa. After you're finished eating and drinking, you learn how to salsa dance, which was way more fun than I thought it was going to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which excursion company did you use for this? We are looking at shoreexcursioneer.com for private jeep tour in Cozumel and Blue Lagoon tour in Costa Maya. Wondering if anyone has good experience and recommends this company? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elainmir Posted March 12, 2017 #108 Share Posted March 12, 2017 We've done a private jeep excursion which was THE BEST ...just me , hubby and an amazingly cool driver. We toured the chocolate making place as well as El Cedral and the tequila making place We've done the whole shopping and walking around thing many times We've been to Sanchos...it's nice and the food is great, they make sure you are waited on hand and foot. But I think if I go again I'll do the pay as you go side. Son did the water toys but said they were HARD and not bouncy...he said he wouldn't do that again.

dixi_lynn Posted March 24, 2017 #109 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Stupid question but is this an organized event or do you just find your own bars? Bar Hop one of my favorite excursions EVER! We're not big drinkers. Views terrific, tour guides wonderful! Great fun, great food, would definitely do again! Drive to east side of island and stops at 4 different seaside bar/restaurants. Food and drink available. So going and games aboard air conditioned bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgomes Posted March 26, 2017 #110 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Something a little different to try: Cozumel Chef Food Tour You will be taken by van to 5 -6 different local off-the-beaten-track restaurants where you will be sampling Yucatan foods (not Tex-Mex). Very nice, very filling, very different from the usual water based activities. We had a great time last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilynmtm Posted February 7, 2020 #111 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Love Cozumel. Always a fun port. Think my favorite time was last December on harmony of seas beach bash party at playa maya. Traveled with my son and his wife and free party with private beach and food and drinks. Absolutely wonderful. My favorite stop is usually paradise beach. Usually always go there when at Cozumel.

baldilocks Posted March 20, 2020 #113 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Mexican cooking class at Playa Mia beach. You make you own lunch and drink a lot...beach before or after depending cooking class time. You get a decent lunch and nice alcohol. The 12 meter yacht race....old America's Cup yachts. Very fun.

Rare mamaneedsavacay Posted September 28, 2020 #115 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Our cruise line (MSC) is selling a horseback riding excursion in Cozumel. I haven't been able to find anyone who has mentioned horses in Cozumel so far. Any reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted September 29, 2020 #117 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Maybe try trip advisor or google. I am sure you will find a place that offers horseback riding excursions. However, if not offered by the cruise line, might not be allowed to go off on your own excursions until Covid is under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks- it is offered by the cruise line, and so I'm wondering which outfit they use and if it's any good. I will still check trip advisor, that's a good idea, but I just wondered if anyone had done riding in Coz via a cruise excursion. It seems like multiple cruise lines use the same vendors/locales. I'm assuming we will have to use a cruise line excursion to get off, and their only beach break is Playa Mia, so I'm researching their other offerings. Besides the horse riding they have a Cabana at Chankanaab, Bottom-Fishing Bonanza, Clear Bottom Kayak at Uvas Beach Club, and Atlantis Submarine Expedition. Edit: I guess Chankanaab would also be a beach day, but it's not one of the preferred beaches. And I've never heard of Uvas Beach Club. I also wonder if these excursions will REALLY happen (even though they would let me pay for them right now) because it doesn't seem like they could control/trace our movements very easily. They might as well let us get off and go to Paradise Beach. Edited September 29, 2020 by mamaneedsavacay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read about European cruises that have started up is if you depart from the tour group then you will be barred from returning to the ship - they will off load your bags and leave you in the port. Until thins are under control I would plan to stay with the tour group. Of the options you listed I would head to Chank - nice beach, separate snorkel area, small pool, sea lion shows, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf778c Posted September 30, 2020 #120 Share Posted September 30, 2020 If you can make independent arrangements, check out Rancho Buenavista. I had wanted to ride with them a few years ago, but unfortunately, the day I was to be in port was their day off. Rancho Buenavista info@buenavistaranch.com phone+521 987 111 90 41 Cozumel Q.

Just trying to read the tea leaves in whether we will face the same restrictions in the Caribbean that they have in the Med. I'm leaning towards chank myself if I'm choosing between their offerings.

tbmrt Posted October 3, 2021 #124 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thinking of going to Chankanaab first week of December. However, I've been reading that the snorkeling has really gone downhill. Would appreciate input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
