Cozumel: Private Excursion - MiniVan or Jeep (Your Day, Your Way)

Excellent Value and Performance

This private tour was a relaxing and easy way to tour Cozumel during our limited time on shore from our cruise ship. Our guide, Aldair, was on time, super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We discussed a plan prior to heading out and we enjoyed our time looking for adventure around the Island. We stopped at a local resort and enjoyed the beach, Taquella tasting, and the wildlife. We visited a couple of local markets and enjoyed interacting with vendors to get good deals and support the local economy. We would recommend this excursion to those looking to make their own memorable day in Cozumel.

Response from the operator: Hola hola Mrs Denise! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re very happy to hear you had such a great day exploring Cozumel with Aldair and our local team. Aldair is a very kind and patient guide who always tries to create the perfect itinerary around what each guest wants to experience, especially with the limited time our cruise guests have on our beautiful island. We also understand that planning a day in a new destination can sometimes be a little stressful, especially when arriving by cruise ship. That’s why our whole team is here from the moment you book, answering your questions before arrival and making sure everything is ready so you can simply relax and enjoy your day. As a local Cozumel company , this is exactly the kind of experience we love to offer guests who are looking for something more authentic and personal. We’re especially happy you had the chance to interact with local vendors and support our community along the way. Thank you again, Denise, for choosing us and for recommending our excursion. We’ll make sure Aldair sees your kind words! 😊 Greetings from Cozumel!

Must do!!

Gerardo was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about the island. We loved all of our stops and appreciated the customization. I would definitely recommend!! Be mindful that the vehicle is small although it holds 6. If you have taller passengers, you may want to communicate with them, they are very responsive.

Response from the operator: Buenos dias MRs Camillie, Thank you so much for your review and for choosing our most affordable private minivan option for your group! It’s actually one of our most-booked vehicles, along with our Jeeps, because it allows us to keep the private experience at a great price for groups of up to six. And we’re so happy you enjoyed your day with Gerardo. He is a true Cozumeleño, born and raised on the island, and his passion for Cozumel really shows. He loves creating a different day for every group and sharing the local places and stories that make our island special. Thank you again for choosing our local company and for recommending us. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gerardo Hasta pronto! :)

Great day

Great way to cost the island. Our guide Ricky was very knowledgeable and took us to a great Mayan experience as well as remote area of the island. Finally we had a great Mexican lunch based on his recommendation. Thank you to Ricky and Jesus for a great day.

Amazing Day in Cozumel

What a wonderful day! Enrique was a fantastic guide and curated our day around our desires. We did not want to go to the beach or tourist stops so we drove the whole island, learned about the culture and did a wonderful Chocolate and Honey experience with Terrra Maya. That experience was a highlight that he coordinated for us. Lunch was a local place that we went to with him. I highly recommend this company. Car was very clean and the whole company is very professional and good with communication. Would definitely use on our next trip to Cozumel!

Enrique made us feel like Cozumel experts in a few hours

Enrique was a phenomenal tour guide. We opted to cruise the island and learn some of the history and geography of the area. Enrique, being from Cozumel, was a wealth of knowledge and made the trip a lot of fun. We stopped at Tierra Maya to learn and experience local honey, chocolate, salsa, and of course tequila. Tierra Maya is a newer tour excursion, but they are locally owned and operated which made it enjoyable to visit. Enrique was extremely flexible, stopping for some lunch off the southern coast when we asked and had great recommendations. I definitely want to return to Cozumel and stay for an extended stay. Such a laid back, relaxing vibe. And people like Enrique make it worth returning to. 10/10 would recommend this tour to others.

Response from the operator: Muchas Gracias Colin! It really means a lot to us. 😊 As a local company, there’s nothing better than hearing that our guests truly enjoyed their time on the island. Reviews like yours mean a lot not only to our team, but especially to our guides. Enrique loves sharing the authentic Cozumel—our history, culture, local way of life, and some of those special places you might not discover on your own. We always hope that by the end of the tour, it feels a little less like saying goodbye to your guide and a little more like saying goodbye to a new friend. We’re also so happy you enjoyed Tierra Maya! It’s a very hands-on experience hidden in the middle of the jungle, where you can grind cacao, taste honey from the sacred Mayan stingless bee, make your own tortillas and salsa, and sample local liqueurs and flavors. It’s a fun way to actually participate in some of our traditions instead of just hearing about them. We’ll definitely share your review with Enrique. He’ll be very happy to know he helped make your day in Cozumel so memorable! Hopefully next time you’ll come back for that longer stay!
