Dusty 4x4 tires kick up Caribbean grit as your guide opens the roofless Jeep and the sea-breeze rushes in — Cozumel’s southern flank arrives in a collage of wind-sculpted dunes, mangrove veins and sun-smacked limestone. The tour threads coastal road and park tracks into Punta Sur Ecological Park, where a short climb up Celarain Lighthouse turns the horizon into layered blues and the island’s low reef line dares you to lean closer.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The park and reef are sensitive — use reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and bring extra, as the sun is strong.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shoreline, mangrove boardwalks and beach clubs mean shoes that grip wet rock are useful.
Hydrate before snorkeling
Island sun and physical activity dehydrate quickly; drink water provided in the Jeep and carry a small bottle for the water stop.
Secure valuables
Use a dry bag for phones and wallets during snorkeling and the boat-to-shore transfers.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the coral reef during prolonged sun exposure.
