Our trip to Cozumel is one we’re still thinking about! The first time I visited, I was just 16 years old on a cruise with my family. Needless to say, coming back years later as an adult, on a week-long trip with my partner, was a much different experience!

We spent a week in Cozumel and were pleasantly surprised at just how much we were able to see in a short period of time. Scuba diving, beach lounging, visiting ruins, road tripping, eating everything in sight… Cozumel has something for everyone. You might just want to chill out on the beach, with a drink in hand, and I understand completely.

But, after visiting here, I recommend you leave the beach behind and experience the many other things to do in Cozumel. We had a blast snorkelling in Cozumel! Cozumel is one of the top places to visit in Mexico, so give yourself some time here.

I highly recommend that you plan a minimum of 5 days to see all the things to do in Cozumel, you may even want to stay longer. With numerous incredible things to do in Mexico, make sure Cozumel is on your list. 15 Best Things To Do in Cozumel Here’s my list of our favourite things to do in Cozumel for adults that you don’t want to miss! 1. Visit Punta Sur Ecological Park Beautiful view!

Punta Sur Eco Beach is the best beach on the Island, and a visit to this eco-park is a must! This isn’t a “Disneyland” type place, it’s a natural gem and the number one thing do to in Cozumel. This area is located on the south of the island and covers an area of 2,500 acres.

There’s an entrance fee ($25 USD for adults and $17 for children), but in my opinion, it’s worth it. There are lots of things to do inside the park, here are a few of our top choices: The Lighthouse Within the Punta Sur Eco Park is the Celarain Lighthouse, which was constructed to warn sailors at night of the dangers of running aground off the southern coast of Cozumel. The Lighthouse is now part of a maritime museum.

View from the lighthouse in Cozumel For 360-degree views of the Island, you can climb the 133 steps to the top. On a clear day, you can even see the coast of Cuba, but unfortunately for us, that wasn’t the case. Entrance fees to the Punta Sur Eco Park include the Celerain Lighthouse.

Marshlands Boat Ride A 40-minute tour of the Marshlands of Punta Sur Ecological Park is also available. They can’t guarantee that you will see any crocodiles on the day of the tour (we were lucky and saw a couple!), but you will see many species of birds, especially the roseate spoonbill. These short boat tours are currently departing at 1:00 and 2:00 pm.

Confirm the times at the entrance to the park when you arrive. Visit the Mayan Ruin El Caracol ruin – also called Tumba del Caracol because of its small size – dates back to 1200-1500 AD. Caracol means “snail” in Spanish and the ruins were named this because of the snails that decorate the small dome on the top of the temple.

The structure was built as an early hurricane warning system for the Mayan people. The roof was constructed in a way that the strong breeze gave a humming noise alerting the Mayans of the impending danger. 2. Private Jeep Tour With Lunch and Snorkelling One of the best activities to do in Cozumel is a private Jeep Tour with lunch and the opportunity to go snorkelling.

The tour comes with your own private guide which means that he knows the best-secluded beaches to go snorkelling and swimming without the crowds. The best part about this Cozumel excursion is that it’s completely customizable.
