Tour details

Our off-road tours in Cozumel let you discover the island’s most magnificent side. Live an unforgettable adventure with a Jeep tour guided by experts through the best trails of Rancho Buenavista.

The other side of the island offers solitary beaches and virgin jungle. Inside Rancho Buenavista you’ll explore and see original, hidden Mayan caves.

The tour lasts about 5 and a half hours, includes transportation and starts with a 15-minute van ride to Rancho Buenavista. Then you explore the jungle, the caves and a small Mayan ruin in your off-road vehicle: travel through the lush jungle, see animals in their natural habitat, follow ancient paths to virgin ruins and learn about Mayan culture. Admire panoramic views and Cozumel’s secret spots.

Next, enjoy a Mexican lunch — fajitas and margaritas — at a private beach club, plus a guided snorkeling tour. After snorkeling, relax at the beach club with showers, pool, beach, bar and more; at the end you can swim in the pool or snorkel from the shore to admire the reefs. Our adventure offers much more for much less.

Finish the tour with a visit to an open cenote. Nature, Mexican food and history in one day — please enjoy this unique island experience!
