Trikes-Cozumel Review

[DavidsNana]

Based on a recommendation from a post here a few months ago, we decided to take this excursion 4/3/23 on our Caribbean Princess cruise.  It was easily booked online via email on their website.  A $30 deposit needed to be made ahead of time and was required to be paid via Zelle.  I had never used Zelle before but found it easy to use once set up via my bank account.  The remainder of the excursion $95 per person was paid the day of the excursion.  We exited the port and crossed the street and walked a short distance (maybe 1/4 block) to the Pemex station and 7/11 store.  We were met by the Trikes Cozumel rep and were taken by cab to a place just a short ride away where the trikes were waiting where we paid the balance and the driver (or drivers) were given instructions on how to operate the Trike.  We then got on and were lead by the guide and his photographer/assistant around the island.  The assistant took lots of photos with her cellphone which are posted to their Facebook page and are free for the downloading which was very nice as most places make you pay for pics.  Also, they would take pictures of us using our own cellphones.  We made several stops to rest or switch out drivers if you wanted.  One stop was at a place on the wild side of the island where they had drinks to purchase that were made from all fresh ingredients.  We had a virgin pina colada and it was delicious.  These drinks were $8 each.  It was a very pretty beach area.  We also stopped for the included lunch at a beach and ate at a prearranged place across the street from the beach with a nice view.  There was a choice of beef, chicken or fish fajitas which came with rice and beans (black bean puree) and corn tortillas.  The fajitas were piping hot but the beans and rice were just warm and could have been warmer but everything was delicious and the portion of fajitas was more than most of us could eat.  Water was provided by Trikes Cozumel but other drinks had to be purchased.  There were 3 in our party, we had 2 cokes, an extra bottle of water, guacamole and chips and salsa and it was $20.  Again, everything was very tasty.

 

The only caution I would advise is that there were probably 30 stairs to get up to the lunch pavilion.  Helmets were provided and required to be worn during the ride.  The staff were great, very safety conscious, warm, welcoming and accommodating.  Part of this tour includes tequila tasting and none of us were interested in that so we bypassed it and just had a little longer to ride.  We were dropped off at the end of the tour about a block from where you cross the street at the port.  My adult grandson was our driver and the reason we took this excursion as he loves vehicles of all kinds and wanted to do this.  It was something other than the beach to do and was fun.

We’ve done the 3 wheeler excursion several times. Always have an amazing time. A trusted service with great guides and photos. There might be a hiccup or 2 for initial pickup but they will get it resolved lol.
