Amazing day spent in this gorgeous and clean national park of Mexico! The six of us (adults 28-56 years) took a taxi for $16 (prices posted and dictated by law) to the park and spent the day snorkeling (clear, warm, barracuda and a dozen colorful fish species) fifteen feet off the shore. Great service, no hassling, free chairs 'n cabanas,... More

We (family of 9) took a taxi for $25 from the port where our cruise ship was docked (Carnival Paradise). Taxi rates are very visible on a display board, so you don't need to worry about haggling. Park admission is either $21/adult or $26/adult with a t-shirt and drink from one of the little shops. You can print a $2... More

We were on a cruise ship and chose this for our excursion. It was raining very hard that day. The roads were a foot deep in water but it did not stop the taxi and we planned to get wet anyway. The dolphins were great. We had lunch which was not very good. Then explored the area. The sand was... More

this was a nice place to go to relax, snorkel, sunbathe and see some sights (if you want to). We got off the ship and took a taxi here. the taxi drivers tried to talk us out of it - even saying that it was badly damaged by a hurricane. they tried to get us to go to a hotel... More

The park is beautiful and very well done, service was excellent but lunch was very pricey and not that great. Plenty of palapas for those who wanted shade and chairs for those that wanted to sit. I had a very nice massage - I think it was $45us for 45 minutes.

I LOVED this place and so did my family. When you know you are going to pay for all the extras and you can just let go of your frustration about the money you're spending on vacation, just sit down and look around you! White sand, Mayan Ruin replica gardens, tequila tasting, massage by the lagoon, dolphin encounters, and an... More

Way more than expected. Bucks for the pictures but they were worth it. Liked the Eco. focus. Least anticipated part of trip and ended up the best. WELL DONE.

This is our 2nd trip to Cozumel. Both times we have taken the 3 reef tour by boat for around $34 per person. This time we decided to also try Chankanaab Park. Had we gone here first, we would have skipped the boat tour. The facilities were amazing. The sea lion show was entertaining and the water was simply beautiful.... More
