Chankanaab Adventure Park, Ruins Tour or Paradise Beach?

[Kemgstcruise6]

We are cruising on Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas the week before Christmas. We are trying to decide on what we should do while in Cozumel. Does anyone have any recommendations? If we did a ruins tour, we would want to still have time for the beach, so we don't want to do one that has a long travel time. Thank you for your advice!!

Chankanaab has a miniature Mayan Ruins in the adventure park....why not do that , and you can do a beach and ruins visit in one location ?

 

An alternative would be doing one of those Jeep Tours that stop at San Gervasio and a beach .

I had not seen the Jeep Tours option ... that sounds like a lot of fun! Do you have one that you have done or that you would recommend?

The bigger ruins sites from Cozumel are on the main land, it's an all day experience.

Here is one on Shore Excursioneer that is highly rated...you get to choose the itinerary, which can include San Gervasio and a beach...

I really recommend Tulum excursion with lunch and beach break. Enjoyed it a lot.

As for Cozumel... we love just renting a car and going to resort beaches, then to Punta Sur, then to wild side beaches. On our first visit we also drove to San Gervasio. They are ok ruins, but nothing special.

When we go to Cozumel we just rent a Jeep and do the island at our own pace. However- if I were going to do Chankanaab, I would just take a taxi as you can spend a whole day there. They have a nice beach, you can rent snorkel gear (or bring your own), walking trails, “ruins”, (they’re reconstructed) sea lion show and you can pay extra to swim with dolphins. There’s an entrance fee- you can also acquire a coupon. Google it.

Renting a Jeep allows you to see the less traveled side of the island. It’s beautiful over there! We’ve been all over the Caribbean and Cozumel remains our favorite location.

Well, I wouldn’t call Chankanaab beach nice... it is good for snorkeling though.

There are some small ruins on Cozumel at San Gervasio - bring your bug spray! You'll only need about 30 minutes there leaving you plenty of time at Paradise Beach :cool:

Who did you book your Tulum excursion with?

With RCCL. It was 10 hour excursion for $119 iirc. On Allure.

We rarely do ships excursions, but felt it was very well worth the price.

Thank you! I appreciate your reply!!

You are very welcome

 

It’s a very picturesque place. In some reason I was only able to find one photo I took, and only B&W... just a small part

 

 

Real watercolor is just amazing
