Located just off the main shore, Cozumel is a small island in Mexico that offers beautiful beaches, lush flora, and once-in-a-lifetime excursions that you and your family will remember for years to come. Whether you are exploring the Mayan ruins just on the mainland in Tulum, or swimming with the nurse sharks and rays, a port stop in Cozumel offers cruise guests an array of shore excursion options. Here are the top 5 things to do when visiting Cozumel:



Ray and Shark Interaction

Duration - 2 hours

Price - $

Make memories with your family as you spend time interacting with stingrays, snorkeling, and swimming with the nurse sharks. Your day begins at the 1 acre stingray habitat where you will get in the water with these majestic creatures and get to feed and hold them. They are trained to interact with humans, and are extremely docile! After the interaction you will don snorkel gear and head to the deeper waters of the enclosure and swim with the sting rays and nurse sharks. This is an amazing way to experience these beautiful fish in a controlled environment.
