10 Private Car Days in Cozumel Worth Booking

1.ATV Adventure to Jade Cavern with transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 376 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Ride a single or tandem ATV through Cozumel’s jungle near El Cedral, then swim beneath stalactites at Jade Cenote. Guides such as Willie, Carolina, Gabriel, Israel, and Miguel lead the route in English. Expect rough rocks, dust or mud, lockers, showers, and optional photos.

“Our ATV adventure was on a day after torrential rainfall; so we were driving through a lot of muddy puddles! But actually getting a bit dirty was half the fun!! And at least the trail wasn't dusty. I choose to use my sunglasses instead of their goggles--sunglasses are much better, I think. We were given bandanas to put over our nose and mouth, but we really didn't need them as the trails weren't dusty at all. They have Crocs and lockers to rent; so I was able to keep my nice tennis shoes clean. They also have outdoor showers available to rinse off arms, legs, and feet. Visiting the cenote…”

2.Cozumel Shore Excursion: 5-Hour Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 325 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) Top rated

Taste Maya-style chocolate and tequila, visit San Gervasio, stop at El Mirador, and finish at Playa Palancar. Your group can adjust the pace and add a beach or local lunch stop.

“Never heard from Viator as to where we were supposed to meet our driver/guide so I paid $44 to buy wifi/internet on the cruise ship so I could email Viator. I tried, at least three times, to find out where we were supposed to meet our driver/guide - finally, received a message from Viator to meet him at the International Pier in Cozumel. So I wrote back - what's the driver/guide's name? What kind of vehicle (color, number) is he driving? Never got a reply from Viator or the company supplying the driver. Our ship docked in downtown so we had to hire a cab (cost of $10 + $2…”

3.Cozumel Private Airport Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 169 reviews · 15 to 30 minutes (approx.)

You’ll be met at Cozumel International Airport by a Visit Cozumel representative, then taken directly to your resort or accommodation in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. A bilingual driver handles the ride and luggage. Sandy and Pablo are among the staff named in guest reports. Port transfers may also be available.

“We purchased the round trip service to and from the airport. We have a toddler that needed a carseat for our trip to the resort. Instead of travelling internationally with a giant seat, this service provided that for our transfer. The driver was waiting for us upon arrival and came to our hotel at the time we requested for departure. This service is more expensive than you'll pay for a standard taxi, but it is worth it for the expediency, convenience, and certainty.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 82 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $69

Guides such as Alejandro, Victor, and Noah add local history along the way. Finish with an eight-tequila tasting at Mi Mexico Lindo. Expect dust, mud, and a sales pitch.

“As someone from South Carolina, I have always found that it is the little things that make a huge difference. Such as holding a door open for someone, returning a wallet, or even as simple as taking a shopping cart back to the buggy returns. It’s all about who you are when no one is looking. And I can say there is no one better than Alejandro, as he is a stand up guy. If there was an option for 10 stars I would give it. This is perfect activity no matter the age. I was traveling with my partner (ages 36 and 46), our two children (ages 13 and…”

Nobody did, I had to waste time by phone; everything was cumbersome ,long wait time online just to find out the time and confirmation that somebody will pick us up at the hotel.”
