There's Something For Everyone on
Cozumel
Though Cozumel is virtually a
mecca for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, there´s also plenty to do for
land-lovers.
Cozumel is indeed one of the
world´s top diving destinations, so there´s no shortage of dive shops or
independent dive operators on the Island. Offered are various diving
services including standard 2-tank dive trips, custom charters, afternoon
dives and night dives, diving/accommodation packages, and equipment
rental. Most operators also offer instructional services from Open Water
to advanced levels of certification and specialty courses. Reputable
operators will also offer hyperbaric chamber insurance.
If you prefer snorkeling, Cozumel
boasts some excellent shallow reefs for gazing at the abundant sea life.
You can snorkel right off the beach or the Fury Catamaran will take you on
a fun and memorable experience sampling a few different reefs, a stop at
the beach for a lunch buffet and banana boat rides. If you like boats, but
don´t want to go in the water, some operations offer sunset margarita
cruises plus there are glass bottom boats and even a submarine
ride.
Jet skis can be rented at several
beaches including Playa Sol and Paradisus. Or, view the island and
surrounding area from 400´above the water on a para-sailing excursion!
Fishing enthusiasts will find a number of deep sea and bone fishing
operators offering ½ day and full day charters.
If you don´t like water sports,
don´t worry, there´s something for you too. There´s horseback riding,
miniature golf, island tours, carriage rides and exploring the Mayan ruins
at San Gervasio, plus there are wonderful restaurants and a multitude of
stores to keep any shopper busy for days. You´ll find everything from
souvenir items like T-shirts and blankets to pottery, paintings, and
jewelry of silver, gold and precious stones. There's even a brand new 6
screen movie theatre on Cozumel, and golfers will be delighted when the
new Cozumel Country Club is scheduled to open by 2002, with a Jack
Nicklaus designed golf course.
There are also excursions to the
mainland such as Xel-Ha water park near Cancun or the ancient and mystical
Mayan ruins of Tulum, Coba and Chitzen Itza. Tours include bilingual
guides, transportation, park entrance fees and some include lunch. Tours
can be taken by ferry and bus or ferry and air conditioned van. Some tours
are also available by plane.
Just want to relax and enjoy the
most peaceful side of paradise? Try a massage and aromatherapy treatment
or other spa services. Then, rent a car and drive to the east side of the
island only a few minutes away. There you´ll see miles of beautiful,
white, sandy beaches. Though undercurrents can be very strong, there are a
few lagoon areas perfect for splashing around in the water. You´ll find
several small restaurants on the beach where you can get a snack and a
cold drink or even eat a whole, fresh, grilled fish. On your way back
around the island, be sure to visit the southern lighthouse where you´ll
see an amazing view of the Caribbean. After your day of relaxation, head
back to town for dinner. Cozumel hosts many restaurants offering all types
of food from Mexican, Seafood, American and Italian to Vegetarian,
Mediterranean, and Continental cuisines.
Cozumel also has lots of fun night
life! Any night of the week you´re sure to find a party at Carlos and
Charlies, Viva Mexico, Neptuno or Café Salsa. On Sunday experience the
real Cozumel by joining locals in the traditional Sunday night Fiesta in
the main plaza of town. Stroll the plaza with local families and watch the
children frolicking in their special Sunday dress, sample traditional food
from vendors, watch the artists at work, or dance to the live
music.
