Enjoy a free-wheeling day cruising the great outdoors on this fun-filled Beach Buggy & Snorkel at Punta Sur shore excursion. Experience parts of Mexico many people never see—a crocodile lagoon, a Mayan ruin, a vintage lighthouse—at the wheel of a beach buggy on this exciting Cozumel shore tour.
The adventure begins as excursion guides show how to operate the low-riding, open-air “dune buggies.” Start up your beach buggy and follow the caravan of fellow Carnival cruisers to Punta Sur Ecological Park. Hug snaking dirt roads as you zip past mangroves and coconut palms. Stop at El Caracol, a seashell-shaped Mayan ruin that whistles when the wind blows through—it may be the New World's oldest hurricane-forecasting instrument!
Ready your cameras on the short walk from El Caracol to the Punta Sur Crocodile Lagoon. Snap shots of lounging crocodiles, iguanas and passing flamingoes. Jump back in your buggy and motor across lush terrain to Punta Celarain lighthouse, at Cozumel's southernmost point, where you can climb the lighthouse stairs for panoramic views. Do the turquoise seas below look enticing? You bet! It's time to hit the beach.
Kicking up powdery sand, your caravan makes a beeline for secluded Punta Sur Beach. Here you can snorkel or sunbathe at leisure on the pristine sands of this protected marine park. When hunger calls, a beachside Mexican snack buffet, piled high with empanadas, chicken tacos, a green salad, pico de gallo and seasonal fresh fruit will be waiting for you. Then it's back on your beach buggy to head back to your Carnival ship.
