Escape tourist traps on our new private tour to The Other Side of Cozumel. Free from electricity or cellphone reception, the island's east coast is famous for its rugged beauty and peaceful tranquility. You haven't seen the true Cozumel until you've been taken to The Other Side! |
Your group will enjoy private transport in comfortable, licensed taxis, guided by the island's friendliest, English-speaking drivers.
After picking you up at your hotel or cruise ship terminal, they will take you to the island's east coast, stopping on the way at Hacienda Antigua.
At the Hacienda you take a 20-25 minute tour and learn how Mexicans turn a spiky plant into their national drink: tequila.
After your educational margarita-drinking experience, your knowledgeable local driver-guide takes you a few more miles east until you arrive to the open sea.
Marvel at the views out towards Cuba and Jamaica as you breathe the wonderful Caribbean air and lose yourself in the hypnotic rhythm of the turquoise waves.
Depending how you like to customize your day, now could be a good time to stop at a beach and relax, or splash around in the waves.
Normally you'll have about an hour on the beach, but since this is a private, personalized tour, you can customize the itinerary as you like, spending as much or as little time at each stop, and doing things in whatever order you like!
However you decide to spend the day, at some point you are going to be ready for lunch, so we recommend a stop with more panoramic views at Coconuts bar and grill, or another restaurant of your choice (food/drink not included).
After filling your bellies you'll be ready for some more fresh air, so the next stop on your Cozumel east coast tour can be El Mirador lookout.
At this fascinating natural rock arch formation you can get snap-happy with your camera and take some of the best photos of your vacation.
If you're feeling thirsty again after your mini photo shoot, you can buy a delicious, ice-cold coconut on the beach, and quench your thirst with the truly tropical taste of natural coconut water.
Finally, tired but happy, you'll be driven back along the coast to reality again, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel or cruise ship and can recount your wonderful day with the rest of your group.
