Carnival excursions with 3 and 6 year old???

[jgonzalez]

We are traveling on Carnival's Valor and will be stopping in Cozumel. We are trying to figure out what to do that would be fun for our 2 boys, ages 3 and 6. I liked the look of the dune buggy/beach tour or the Jeep tour of the caverns, but also saw a trip to Xcarat. Has anyone been on any of these and would they be appropriate for small kids?

being a mom, i would think the discover mexico & chakanuba may be fun for them, and maybe the discover dolphins where they get to pet,hug and kiss the dolphins and u can take a pic. with them.

The Dolphin excursion would be FANTASTIC -- but it is very pricey.

 

If you're looking for something a little more budget worthy -- consider the dune buggy trip. Make sure the vehicles hold four people before you book!

 

Otherwise consider the Jeep excursion. I did that with my 8 year old a few years back and we had a blast!

 

Bon Voyage!

I think the trip to Xcarat would be really hard with your age children. My 20 and 30 year old's said it was too long of a trip for them. The Valor is a great ship and your kids will love it. You will probably have a hard time getting them off the boat, they will want to go to Camp Carnival instead. That ship has the best kids program! Have fun!

I thought the dolphins were for 8yr old and older. Chankanaab park is a nice day at the beach.

We did the Atlantis submarine with our 2 boys in Cozumel. They were 4 and 7 at the time and loved it. You take a 30-40 minute boat ride out to the sub followed by an hour sub ride and boat ride back. They saw the most amazing fish and octupus. I enjoyed it too.
