What To Do in Cozumel

Gramps Travel has many clients who take cruises to Cozumel. For your next trip there, here are some interesting things to do.So what are the best things to do in Cozumel Mexico? Cozumel is the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean and the region’s most popular cruise port. Known as a diver’s paradise, Cozumel is considered safe for visitors, since most of the recent drug-related violence has been in cities along the border. The U.S. Department of State’s travel warnings specify cities such as Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez as places American citizens should avoid. Resort areas like Cozumel are generally safe, according to officials, as long as tourists follow basic safety tips.

Go Snorkeling

The waters around Cozumel have an amazing visibility of 70m (230ft). The coral reefs of Cozumel are where it’s at for prime scuba diving and snorkeling. One of the best reefs Cozumel has to offer is the kilometers-long Palancar Reef where stunning coral formations and a ‘horseshoe’ of coral heads offer the world’s finest scuba diving snorkeling adventure.

Take in a Beach

According to the locals, Paradise Beach and Mr Sanchos are the two best beaches on the island. Both are just a short taxi ride from the port. The photo above was taken at Mr. Sanchos.

Visit the Other Side

The other side of Cozumel (east side of Cozumel, also known as the “Wild Side”) has 7 miles of secluded ocean & beach front that is absolutely breath-taking. If you’re looking to get the most out of Cozumel in a single day, the other side of Cozumel is the perfect place to enjoy gorgeous deserted beaches, off-road jungle terrain, blow holes, hidden water caves, beach bars/restaurants, hatching baby sea turtles, snorkeling, rock formations and much more.

Wave Season Is Almost Here!

Wave Season begins in January after the holiday buzz has died down and when families have extra time to focus on their travel plans for the coming year. As a result, the cruise lines concoct their most aggressive deals at this time to entice travelers to get on board.

Hands down, Wave Season is the best time of the year to book a cruise. With access to many diverse offers, travelers can expect to see not only hot fares but extra perks such as:

• Onboard credit
• Prepaid gratuities
• Unlimited drinks
• Specialty dining packages
• Shore excursions
• Reduced deposits

Many cruise lines are even giving guests a choice of these amenities; they understand that every traveler’s vacation needs are different. Booking during Wave Season also allows guests to have first pick of the best cabins. Few people realize that 40% of all cabins for the entire year are booked in January.

Bucket List Advice

Even if traveling later in the year, secure your deal in January. Not only will you get the best price but you will also have a greater selection of cabins from which to choose.
