How to Get to Cozumel
Depending on the liner, you might dock right downtown in San Miguel at Punta Langosta (Norwegian, Disney, Seven Seas). San Miguel is a quick taxi ride or 35-minute walk from the International Pier (Royal Caribbean and Celebrity). From Puerta Maya dock (Carnival), just south of the International Pier, it’s a 10-minute taxi ride to San Miguel. Always agree on a price before setting off when you hire a taxi; it should cost around US$6 to reach downtown.
One Day in Cozumel
Immerse yourself in San Miguel’s laid-back holiday vibe, by shopping for souvenirs and handicrafts, feasting on Mexican fare and sipping Margaritas. Or find a Caribbean beach for the day to soak up the sun and relax.
Most visitors can’t resist the lure of more active pursuits, like taking a PADI-certified scuba dive, snorkeling with angel fish in the Yal Ku Lagoon or swimming with loggerhead sea turtles off Akumal beach. You can see the coral creatures yet stay dry aboard an Atlantis submarine or glass-bottom cruise, or visit the island’s Mayan ruins at San Gervasio. Or opt for seclusion with a private beach pass to Chankanaab National Marine Park, for guided snorkeling, lunch and drinks, and a little bit of Caribbean pampering.
Port Information
Cruise liners anchoring at Cozumel include Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, Norwegian, Princess, Seven Seas and Royal Caribbean. You’ll hear lots of Spanish, though English is widely spoken and understood. The local currency is the peso but US dollars are almost universally accepted.

Doing what: Cozumel Shore Excursion: 4x4 Rhino and Snorkel Adventure Tour
We had a great time! It was just our party of four with our guides David and Jose. They took us to so many beautiful places that weren't your average tourist stops. David was polite professional and very knowledgeable of the island. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Jose his assistant was fun too!

Doing what: Cozumel Shore Excursion: Segway and Snorkel Adventure Tour
On 4/2/13 my daughter and I were scheduled for the Segway and Snorkle Tour but when we arrived ,we were told that this tour was cancelled because the segways got wet the previous day and needed time to dry out.We were given three options as replacements for this tour and we picked the ATV Jungle Tour.This tour was really great.Jose and his team of helpers were very informative,helpful and funny as guides.The road in the jungle was a blast to drive on with all the hills ,rocks and sand,The stops along the drive in the jungle were very scenic and we especially liked Jose's history on the Mayan ruins and the Mayan people.It was very educational for my daughter and me.We would highly recommend the ATV tour.

Doing what: Cozumel Shore Excursion: Segway and Snorkel Adventure Tour
Jose and Roberto were excellent. We really enjoyed the segway tour in a small group with another family. It was unfortunate that the snorkeling had to be cancelled due to the weather but that was not within your control! Jose gave us a nice gentle introduction to the segway with several laps of the car park before setting out on the road. Its a great leisurely way to travel and you can take in the scenery once you get used to the machine. There is a segway company near home and we will be certain to make use of this in the future. To compensate for the lack of snorkeling, Jose took us further along the road on the segway. On the way back we had to stop short from home due to rain. All part of the experience. Keep up the great work.
