You Have One Day. Make It Count.
Most cruise ships dock in Cozumel for 6–10 hours. That's enough time to have an incredible day — if you plan it right. Here's a timeline that works perfectly.
8:00 AM — Pick Up Your Buggy
As soon as you get off the ship, head straight to us at Km 4.3 on the Costera Sur (just a short taxi ride from the port). We open at 8 AM and your buggy will be ready and waiting. Book your spot in advance — cruise days fill up fast.
Why not a tour bus? Because with a buggy, YOU decide where to go and how long to stay. No waiting for 40 other people, no rushed schedules.
8:30 AM — Head South on the Costera Sur
The Costera Sur highway runs down the western coast of the island and is completely breathtaking. Ocean on your left, jungle on your right. Roll down the (non-existent) windows of your buggy and enjoy.
9:00 AM — Stop at Playa Palancar
Spend an hour at this gorgeous beach. Swim, snorkel, or just sit and stare at the most beautiful water you've ever seen. Palancar Beach Club has lounge chairs and food if you want to stay longer.
11:00 AM — Cross to the East Coast
Drive across the island through the jungle. The eastern (windward) coast is completely different — wild, dramatic, and almost empty. Stop at Playa Bonita for photos and Mezcalitos for a drink.
1:00 PM — Lunch in Town
Head back to San Miguel for fresh seafood. La Choza is a local favorite. Fish tacos, ceviche, and cold beer — the perfect combination.
2:30 PM — Explore the Town
Walk the malecón, browse the markets, maybe grab some vanilla or locally made jewelry. The town center is beautiful and walkable.
4:00 PM — Return Your Buggy
Return your buggy to us and make your way back to the ship. We're conveniently close to the port, so you'll never be rushed.
