Cozumel National Park And Beach Break: Private Tour

My family and I had a beautiful experience on this tour with our guide, José Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and told us a lot about the islands history and answered all our questions. The island is absolutely beautiful and this was an amazing way to experience the many treasures it has to offer as well as have a delicious meal and some relaxing time on the beach. We enjoyed the tour immensely and would recommend it to others!!

Andrea allowed us to see the beautiful unspoiled natural treasures of Cozumel! She was flexible, professional and a very careful driver. We had an absolutely wonderful time.

Our tour guide, JC was helpful and knowledgeable about the history of Cozumel. The dirt road into the National Park was a bit bumpy, but JC drove with care. We saw Mayan ruins, the lagoon, lighthouse with museum and ended at the beach club where we swan in the beautiful water and enjoyed lunch. It was a great way to see the natural side of Cozumel for our first visit there.

The tour guide was amazing. JC (Jose Carlos). This was a private tour so I did not have to go with strangers. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the island. He was able to explain the history of the island. I saw crocodiles and wild pig. The restaurant at the beach was nice with plenty of lawn chairs and beach umbrellas. There were swings at the bar. And the drinks were very cute in pineapples and coconuts. There was a selection of tacos, fajitas, burritos. I got fish tacos, and it was very fresh and good. The service was incredibly fast. There is snorkeling also available with this tour guide. The water was so beautiful. I would do it again with the same Guide next time.

first of all, this was one of the nicest and well planned day trips to Cozumel. First of all Birget was tremendously easy to communicate with on WhatsApp. He responded many times and made me feel at ease because I had never worked with him. He recommended we work with his trusted colleague JC who’s lived on Cozumel’s entire life. The entire trip was highly customizable to keep that in mind for example, if you want to spend more time, snorkeling or sightseeing or tequila tasting, they will accommodate. Needless to say, JC was great. he spent seven hours with us and took us all around the island which included : historical perspective on the Mayan culture. Mayan ruins, stopping at beaches, including snorkeling, as well as tequila tasting. however he was willing to do anything we wanted to do, but we left the day in his capable hands. He’s been living on the island since he was a young man so he knows everybody. The fee for service was very reasonable and I feel very comfortable very comfortable. Please be sure to tip JC as he made me and my daughter feel very safe. Bridget recommended we take one of the three most popular ferry services. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Cozumel from Playa Del Carmen.

We had an amazing experience in Cozumel! JC and Felipe took us around the island and to a private beach. With the amount of tourists in town (including us), we were expecting the beach to be a little crowded. But it was mainly us and a few other people. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and the included lunch was fantastic. We were given snorkeling gear free of charge and enjoyed seeing fish and a stingray. We also saw the resident raccoon, a coatis (related to raccoons, never knew this animal existed), and many iguanas and birds. It was an ideal day that far exceeded our expectations. JC and Felipe were gracious hosts, pivoting off of our schedule and not that of a large tour excursion. JC told us so much about the island and its history, including a fascinating story about a Mayan structure on the island. I can't recommend this tour enough, and especially JC and Felipe! Get away from all the crowds and book this tour, you won't regret it!!!

We had an amazing time with our host and driver Andrea! Couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. She taught us so much about Cozumel and was super accommodating to requests. She ensured that we avoided crowds, enjoyed a tequila tasting, shared in delicious Mexican entrees, and shared in our love of the ocean. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy Cozumel. We will definitely use Leon’s for booking excursions and will request Andrea. Thank you Andrea and Leon’s Tours.

Carlos was great and the beach was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for a great excursion at Cozumel

We had the absolute best time with JC today! He was amazing! We saw so many things and saw some of the most amazing views. JC was so kind and treated us like family. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with him! Thank you so very much JC!

Jose Carlos was fantastic. Great personality, funny, knows the island like the back of his hand being 4th generation. Saw some very cool heritage + eco things and then the beach club was amazing. You will want at least 2 hours there.

It was a great tour. The tour operator reached out promptly with clear instructions on how to reach the meeting point from the cruise port and accommodated a later meeting time. Our guide GC was very knowledgeable, pleasant and spoke perfect English. He gave us an opportunity to see various parts of the island before going to the Punta Sur eco park, stopped at several beautiful locations and was always happy to take our pictures. Punta Sur was gorgeous and the view from the lighthouse was fantastic. The beautiful beach where we were able to swim and relax on the lounges was the highlight of the tour. Overall, it was the best way to spend a port day in Cozumel.

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide was JC and he was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. It was a nice experience being able to stand only a few feet away from a crocodile. The tower we climbed and the museum at the first stop was very pleasant. There were also a couple Mayan ruins right by the museum that were good to see and read about. My favorite part was the beach we visited next. It was a beautiful beach and it was almost empty. We had our pick of chairs and umbrellas which were in very good shape. We had wait service in our chairs for drinks. I will say when they ask you what size, small, medium, or large go with the small. We ordered medium size and they were huge. As I said, this beach was very private with very few people around. I would definitely do this tour again the next time we stop in Cozumel.

We had a wonderful time with Ian. He drove us around the perimeter of the island stopping at different spots. He was very polite and answered all of our questions.

It was a private tour with our tour guide Ian. He was very informative about everything! Unfortunately it was too windy for swimming but he took us to a lagoon which was beautiful! It was a great way to see the country

Very friendly guide with excellent language skills. Very good communication at all times. Good tour and my first quesadillas (very yummy). Would highly recommend this guy.

We took a private tour for our family of four--husband and I plus our 2 young-adult kids. Our driver was Jose Luis and Guide was Santiago. We had a fabulous time. Both were very gracious and accommodating which made for a very comfortable and relaxed day. Santiago's knowledge of the island, including it's history and ecology made for a very educational and fun adventure. We spent much of our day at an eco park at the southern point of the island. In addition to visiting the historic lighthouse and museum, we spent a lovely time at a protected beach where we swam, snorkled and had a tasty lunch. We also stopped to view the lagoon inhabited by numerous fish, waterbirds and Julio, the resident crocodile. ( The lagoon is actually home to several hundred crocs, but this was Julio's territory. ) Our last stop was a visit to a tequila museum where we sampled delicious organic blue agave tequila and learned about the tequila making process. (Yes, we bought tequila-- it was so much better than any commercial tequilas we've had at home.) At my request, Jose and Santiago made a speacial stop at the Miami bar on the east side of the island where we had the best mojitos we've ever tasted. I highly recommend the private tour and tour guide Santiago in particular.

We had booked the tour “Punta Sur”. They immediately responded to our request to be back on the ship early and brought forward the start of the tour. We were alone with Gerson and he told us a lot about the island. He was a great guide. He stopped immediately when we wanted to take a photo, had a good eye for animals we would never have discovered alone. Finally, we were also in the market hall of Cozumel. It was a beautiful day on this beautiful island. We Rg recommend Leon Tours to anyone who is away from the

We were in Cozumel with Mein Schiff 1 on 05 March 2026. Birgit had prepared all tours very well, so we were informed in time about details and procedure. Our tour with Andrea was very fun. Before the tourist streams we were at the Mayan sites. Later in the national park, while swimming and at the lighthouse it was very quiet and few tourists to see. The tour was very informative and we learned a lot about history as well as country and people. A big thank you to Andrea; happy to be back with Leon Tours.

We were in Cozumel in March 2026 with Mein Schiff 1 and had selected Leon Tours as our provider of choice in advance. I would particularly like to highlight the great contact with Birgit. We already had the first questions several months before the trip (already in August 2025), as our youngest daughter is only 3 years old and could not be registered via the regular booking form. Birgit responded extremely quickly, friendly and uncomplicated every time. She not only advised us competently whether the tour was suitable for young children, but also found a very uncomplicated solution for booking. Punta Sur National Park was an absolute highlight. Directly at the entrance we were greeted at the meeting point and assigned to our guide Pascal – not a huge group, but a small, personal round. The tour was super nice and mega varied. We have seen huge iguanas, raccoons, nose bears, barracudas, many great birds, crocodiles and beautiful beaches. The children were thrilled from the first to the last minute! What particularly impressed us: we were alone almost everywhere with our little group. In Cozumel, five cruise ships were docked on our day. We benefited from getting out early and avoiding the hustle and bustle.

Leons Tours we can only recommend. We were on a cruise at the beginning of December and booked the excursion with Leon Tours with the National Park / Beach. The contact by email was great. A great directions to the meeting point at the port and also the punctual return to the port, everything worked out great. Especially the trip with Gerson was special, he told us so much about his country and also gave us time to look at everything in peace. The trip was in German. When we are back near , we will definitely make a trip again with Leons Tours. Lg from cold Germany and thank you for the lovely memories Thomas and Heike

Very nice day spent with a guide and beautiful landscapes. We even met a crocodile on the road.

Had a wonderful day snorkeling with Leontour on Cozumel Then there was a meal in knee-deep water with the encounter of rays. A really great experience. Our English speaking guide was very good to provide and led us great to the fish Thank you very much Thomas & Yvonne

We were in Cozumel in October 2024. Andrea showed us the beautiful island that day. It was just fantastic! We will definitely come back. A huge thank you again to Andrea for this wonderful day! René, Nancy and Cara

Thank you for this beautiful trip with Leon Tours again. We really enjoyed it. We got to know a lot about the country and people. The small group was very pleasant. Thank you so much!

Dear Birgit, it was a phenomenal experience 🥳 you have brought us closer to your island. Your numerous pieces of information were awesome! Thanks for that

We stayed with the Mein Schiff on Cozumel and had a wonderful small group tour on the island. Our tour guide, Lisa, has really well and enthusiastically informed us about “her” island and Mexico. Thank you for that, Lisa. If we're back on the island, which we're planning to do, we'll get back to you. Michael and Sven

We had a great tour with Andrea from Leon Tours. It was all perfectly organized. Andrea was super nice and very dedicated. No wishes were left unfulfilled. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend Leon Tours!! Thank you for this great tour. Always happy

It was a wonderful and relaxing day on Cozumel. Everything was beautiful from the start. A big compliment to Andrea, who was perfectly attuned to us and imparted a lot of knowledge to us with her charming and warm manner. A big compliment and thank you also to Birgit and the team for the excellent and warm communication beforehand and the impeccable planning. We would book with you again at any time. Greetings Uwe and Birgit 🥰

We spent a wonderful day on Cozumel and learned a lot about the island. Our guide picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point. The meeting point was easy to find thanks to good directions. If we ever go on a cruise again, we will definitely book another excursion through Leon Tours.

That was a very interesting and relaxing day. We spent a day on Cozumel with ncl. Andrea picked us up at the agreed meeting point and drove us around the island. There were two of us, so we were able to ask any questions we had about the detailed information Andrea gave us during the tour. Andrea led us gallantly past the larger groups. We really enjoyed it and will definitely book something with Leon Tours again on our next stay in Cozumel. Thank you for the lovely and well-organized day.

Highly recommended tour where you can see a lot, see animals and swim on a beautiful beach! We had a lot of fun with Birgit's husband as our guide!

We were with the Mein Schiff 1 on Cozumel and made the excursion “Cozumel Island Tour: Punta Sur lagoons and beach”. Everything worked great from the beginning. The booking was very nice and went uncomplicated. On the day of the excursion itself Birgit welcomed us warmly. We were a small group of 12 people. Birgit brought us close to the island in a very sympathetic way. The trip is a great combination of culture, beautiful nature and beach. We had a super organized and unforgettable day and would book with Leon Tours anytime. Thank you for the great impressions. Anna Lena and Christine

We had a wonderful, relaxing day with Birgit in fantastic weather. We felt incredibly comfortable and enjoyed the island tour as well as the national park, especially the dream beach and the sea.
