After your ATV riding adventure, there is a complimentary tasty lunch for you at Mezcalitos Beach restaurant as option when booking. This Cozumel Wild Side ATV Excursion truly has something for everyone!
Your Cozumel adventure shore excursion day will start when you gather at the meeting point located just a 3 to 5-minute walk from your Cozumel cruise ship terminal. Then hop onboard an air-conditioned taxi for the 20-minute, scenic ride across the island to Mezcalitos beach at the east side of Cozumel, also known as Cozumel's Wild Side! There are no resorts here, just a few island beach bars dotted here and there along miles of gorgeous undeveloped beaches alongside the vivid blue Caribbean sea.
Once you have arrived at the ATV excursion base camp, your experienced guide will go over instructions and any safety tips for driving in the sandy trails. This is a great adventure cruise excursion for beginners, your ATV guide will show you how to drive! You will be given your helmet, and matched with your semi-automatic 250cc Honda and you are off for some thrilling exploration of the sandy trails meshed between the thick jungle and the Caribbean Sea. No worries, this is a guided all-terrain vehicle excursion so you won't miss a thing. Do be prepared to get a little sandy/dirty, but that just means you have had lots of fun! You have the choice if you want to ride solo or double (check shopping cart below for options and pricing). Kids from 7 to 17 years old can ride along with an adult.
This is a 2-hour ATV riding adventure! Your Cozumel shore excursion guide will lead you across sandy beaches and fun-filled trails and all while heading to Xpalbarco Mayan ruin that you will visit. This area of the island is only accessible to very few as it is strictly a 4-wheel off-road drive area so you are really away from the cruise ship crowds! When you arrive at the unique Mayan ruin there will be a short break to enjoy a cold bottle of water and relax while the ATV excursion guide gives you some background information about the Mayan culture, how significant these ruins were to their civilization and learn why Cozumel was once a pilgrimage stop for all Mayan women. The goddess of fertility was believed to grant her powers to those who came to Cozumel and the women would paddle across the sea to visit and worship at least once in their lifetime.
Then your group will follow the ATV guide back down the trails to world famous Mezcalitos Beach Restaurant. Your exciting ATV portion ends but you will have 30 minutes at Mezcalitos Beach Restaurant for lunch of some delicious chicken fajitas and cold water. Enjoy the lovely views of the water at this rustic and charming landmark beach side restaurant. You can purchase beer, tropical cocktails and more from the restaurant's bar as well as other items off the menu at your own expense. Single riders have the option to purchase with or without lunch.
At the end of this Mayan Ruin and Mezcalitos Beach ATV Excursion, you can return to your Cozumel cruise ship pier with the guides in the transportation, or choose to stay at Mezcalitos as long as you wish and simply take a taxi back to your ship at your own cost and convenience.

We thought our vacation was going to be a bust with the rain (it rained the first 4 days of our 8 day stay) but we were so wrong! The rain made this tour a total blast! We had so much fun riding the ATV through mud and water that at times was so deep we were putting our feet up on the front fenders to try to stay a little dry. The tour guide was informative when we got to the ruins and gave us time to explore around and play on the beach in the mud on the ATVs. The lunch afterward was not at a restaurant but onsite at the Adventour location. It was delicious, maybe the best meal we had while on vacation. The food was more than we could eat and the only complaint we had was that we couldn't eat more or we would bust! We were thrown off a little when we got to the (meeting place) and no one was there to meet us. However, another tour guide called them for us and we learned they were waiting for us behind the (the meeting place) and we were in front. Then, when we reached the tour location, they tried to sell us insurance in case anything happened to the ATV while we were riding, but finally told us it was optional (the advertisement on this website said it was included). All in all this was our favorite tour that we had during our stay.

Our local Cozumel excursion operator is very eager to provide a great excursion. You had an added bonus for the rain! It sure makes the course more fun.

The best part of our trip! The guide was fantastic. There was a member of our group that was a little timid, and instead of slowing everyone else down, they split us up and took the "timid" group to a milder location, while the rest went off for the "wild" tour. As a part of the group that went to the "mild" side, even though it wasn't as "extreme" as it could have been, we had an absolute blast. The "timid" member gained confidence, and by the end of the 3 hour tour through jungle, beach and trails, she was taking hills and splashing through puddles like a pro. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The ATV ride was a thrill, our guides were friendly and safe. The wild beaches views were spectacular, we enjoyed from the beginning to the end. The only downside is they don't provide bandanas and the road is very sandy and dusty, so bring your own!

My family has visited Cozumel for the last 6 or 7 years, but this is the first time we take a tour to the wild side of the island. It was amazing to see the ocean side, the trails are sandy, dusty and muddy, perfect to go wild on the ATV! We definitely are doing this one again!

The staff on this excursion is the best, attentive, safe and funny. We enjoyed the ride, a lot better than driving the ATV in a crowded beach club.
The stayed at the beach a little long and enjoyed real Mexican food and cold XX beers.
Parts of the road were really dusty so remember to bring closed toes shoes.
