You will begin your fun all-inclusive day at Chankanaab Marine Park located just a short taxi ride from your Cozumel cruise ship pier. Your entrance fee into the park is included ($26.00 value for adults, $19.00 value for children). Once you get checked in, the facilities are yours for the day. You won't find this offer with anyone else - only with Shore Excursioneer. All cruise guests are welcome, with no restrictions!
Chankanaab is a protected marine park, so the marine life is thriving and some of the best in Cozumel. Please consider there is a marine park fee of $6 per person not included, payable on-site. There is a sheltered cove-like area, crystal clear, year-round warm Caribbean water along with a wide stair entry making it inviting even for beginners. Experienced snorkelers will not be disappointed with the abundance and variety of tropical fish, coral, sponges, and more that can be found on the coral reef which is part of the 2nd largest in the world. All snorkeling gear is included along with experienced snorkeling instructions - you will be given several options when you check-in. You may choose to also snorkel at your leisure throughout the day.
Included in your all-inclusive day pass is a beach chair so you can stretch out and relax on the sandy beach. There are numerous shaded palapas along the beach area as well. Or just enjoy the refreshing water - there is a sandy beach entry. Children may enjoy playing in the sand at the water's edge.
Once you get hungry, there is lunch included for you to enjoy with fajitas, chicken tacos, chicken enchiladas, grilled fish, salad, fruit, nachos, and salsa along with 2 beers per person, water, and soft drinks. Lunch service begins at 01:30 PM. There are small on-site restaurants also in Chankanaab if you prefer to purchase additional food or beverages.
But Chankanaab is not just about the great snorkeling and beach, there is much more to see and do including a walk through the botanical garden, trying out the hammocks, viewing the Mayan House (homemade tortillas samples), enjoying the Tequila Exhibit with samples, browsing the Eco-Archeological and Archaeological Prehispanic Replicas, viewing the Crocodile Exhibition, and sitting to watch the Sea Lion exhibit! You also might spot some of the famed iguanas of Chankanaab. Do not forget your camera to capture the sites and memories both above and below the water. There are maps throughout the property to help you find your way, showers, and restrooms.
There are numerous taxis waiting at the entrance of Chankanaab to take you back to your Cozumel cruise pier.
Please note that guests who want to join your group but do not want to snorkel may choose to stay on the beach instead (no price difference).
