We have ben to Cancun and Cozumel many times. Last time we went on the Secret River And Playa Del Carmen because we got bored with everything else. It was AMAZING!
Has anyone tried the dune buggy and snorkel?
Thanks for your responses!
I did a private dune buggy excursion a couple of years ago. They take you to a private resort to snorkel from the beach. I didn't actually snorkel. I suck at it but my friend did. She said it was awesome and our guide pointed out things to her and when she got tired, he pulled her around and brought back to shore.
We also saw some ruins, crocodiles, a lighthouse, a tequila place, and shopped. We had lunch at a place that overlooked the beach. It was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. We had a little time to hang out there. There was only one other family on the beach. The driver also had a cooler of water and beer for us. It was a really good day!
Can you suggest any excursions that will allow us to see the ruins? My husband and I are traveling with our 9 and 12 year old children... Thanks!We have ben to Cancun and Cozumel many times.

Thanks! I'll check it out!We booked through Disney. It has been awhile but I think we took a ferry to a small van which took us to the caves. We broke up into small groups maybe 8 of us? Got all of our gear, walked to the entrance of the caves, did a Myan ritual then entered the caves. Our guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and helpful. After the just relaxed and waited for our van. Not really ruins but super cool!
If you are interested in an actual historical/archeological site and not a tourist trap, I recommend Tulum. I was an anthropology major in college who focused on pre-Colombian cultures, and Tulum was a site we learned about. It has been my dream ever since studying in Mexico City decades ago to visit the Mayan ruins in Tulum. We will be going on the DCL Tulum excursion in March.....I really could not be more excited!Can you suggest any excursions that will allow us to see the ruins?

That sounds fantastic! If you think of it, perhaps you could post after your cruise to give a review!

Great info! Thanks!As I understand it. Many of these that are mentioned require a ferry ride. I heard it can be tough to go across to mainland Mexico. Small boat, seasickness type tough.
We enjoy going to a place in Cozumel called burritos gorditos. Super good.
Have done horseback riding at Mr Sanchos, you ride along the coast. Not in the water though.
The jeep thing was canceled for some table mates of ours last year. As not enough were booked. So make sure you have a backup plan.
