Had to follow a guide, and we rode the same trail over and over for maybe 30 minutes and never went fast. Maybe 15 mph tops. Definitely not what I expected after paying 260.00 for 2 people.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Cozumel KUZÁ beach day with a hands-on Mexican flavors class, tacos al pastor, unlimited buffet, open bar, and cultural shows.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

Various sauces, salsas, service, tacos, guacamole and even margaritas. You absolutely can't go wrong with this tour. Limited to 8 people. Ours was 5. Small tours let you really let you learn and not just observe.”
