Combine a clear-hulled boat snorkel with an off-road ATV tour of Punta Sur, ending with tequila tasting and lunch at Playa Uvas. Expect reef viewing, sand-dune drives, and wildlife spotting at Cozumel’s largest reserve.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The clear-hulled boat eases away from the pier and the reef rises into view beneath your feet — a living ceiling of coral and darting fish, the ghost of a sunken hull peeking through sandy swells. Later, an ATV kicks up coastal dust as you head south into Punta Sur, where a low lighthouse punctuates salt-scrub dunes and a lagoon watches for crocodiles.

Punta Sur has long been a navigational landmark: the lighthouse and watch points trace the island’s role in Caribbean shipping and local fishing communities.
