SeaNStars4Me Posted January 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Considering booking the Tulim Ruins Tour which includes shopping through Holland America. Has anyone been on this? Experience? I did the 'Best of Cozumel" tour the last time I was there which included stops at a tequila store, chocolate shop, museum and settlement and shopping so I'm looking for something different. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted January 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2017 My suggestion is to find something you want to do on Cozumel instead of taking a tour that involves a 45+ minute (sometimes rough :eek:) ferry trip to/from Playa del Carmen and a long bus ride to/from the ruins. Lots of great beach clubs, snorkeling, sailing and other things to enjoy on Coz. Unless seeing the ruins is a bucket list item, and you do not anticipate returning to the mainland, I would not sign up for a tour where you will spend lots of time getting to/from and comparatively little time at the ruins.

ABQrobin Posted January 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I wish everyone would quit telling people not to take a mainland based excursion because of fear of the ferry. Yes, it is a boat. Yes, it goes across a deep channel and takes 40-50 minutes. Yes, there are waves if it is windy. Nuff said. There are so many great excursions over on the mainland - Tulum, Coba, jungle adventures, cenotes, shopping on 5th ave in Playa del Carmen. Don't skip an excursion just because the ferry "might" be rocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted January 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Too many novice cruiser are unaware of the ferry requirement/hazards. IMHO there is too much to do on Cozumel to spend the time going back and forth to the mainland - but I try to answer questions with information based upon my experiences (both cruising and visiting AI resorts in Mexico) and let the posters make their own informed decision.
