Cozumel is an island paradise, not far from Cancun.  It’s an excellent choice if you like laid back vacation surrounded by incredible nature.  Don’t get me wrong though, even though it’s laid back, there are TONS of things to do in Cozumel.

Here’s a list of things to do in Cozumel, to get the best out of your Cozumel Vacation:

• SCUBA DIVING – This is the most popular activity on the Island.  Cozumel is a scuba diver’s paradise as it is considered one of the best locations in the entire western hemisphere.  A typical 2-tank dive will run you about $70.
• SNORKELING - For those that don’t want to dive or are looking for a cheaper alternative, snorkeling is another extremely popular pastime on the Island.  One of the most popular snorkeling spots is a nature reserve called Chankanaab where you can swim with a wide array of colorful fish right off the shore.
• SWIM WITH DOLPHINS - Need I say more?  This is a once in a lifetime experience to be able to swim side by side with one of the most beautiful and friendly creatures in the sea.  Visit Dolphin Discovery for more information.
• SUBMARINE TOUR - Join Atlantis Submarines for the underwater ride of a lifetime.  Submerse into the depths of the ocean on a real submarine and be amazed at what you’ll see.  Colorful corals and fish, and if you’re really lucky a shark or a turtle.  Visit Atlantis Tours for more information.

Those are the major activities you should know about other than other activities such as para-sailing, kitesurfing, fishing, eating yummy food at restaurants, shopping for souvenirs, and lounging in the sun.

FUN FACT:  In Modern Maya, Cozumel is called Kùutsmil.  Share that knowledge and you’ll be sure to impress the locals!
