We did Boatswain's Beach AKA The Turtle Farm last week and it was enjoyable. Got time with the turtles, snorkeling and swimming time plus time to see the other animal exhibits. The tour included lunch which did not have a lot to interest the picky eaters. Lunch was a buffet (one trip through only) that included cole slaw, pasta salad, beans and rice, chicken legs and mahi mahi. The beverege choices were water or pink lemonade. The kids ended up ordering a la carte from the menu which was not included and was expensive. Overall, enjoyable but not something we would do again.
In Cozumel we did the jeep tour through Disney. It was run by a company called Explora and was great. Drove around the island with stops at El Mirador for pictures and shopping, then on to El Cedral for a little history and cultural lesson and time for pictures and more shopping. There was a little demonstration about black coral and making jewelry with it. The last stop was going to be a private beach at Punta Sur but it was too windy so we ended with our last stop at Chankanaab where we had a buffet that even the picky eaters enjoyed. Chips and salsa and cheese, watermelon, tossed salad, rice, beans, and chicken fajitas. All very good and all you can eat. Then back to the pier. Santiago and Eduardo were great guides and they brought out beverages at every stop. This was a lot of fun. The same company runs the dube buggy tour.
