★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 525 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89

Review of Cozumel’s private Jade Caverns Jeep Tour, with cenotes, snorkeling, tastings, lunch, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“The first difficulty was finding the pickup spot. The directions given did not take you to the spot. They don't really have a booth, just a guy standing around waiting for you. You actually spend more time just riding in a vehicle than anything else. It was interesting to see the island, but too much vehicle time. We did enjoy seeing how the tequila was made - and of course the samples. The lunch was nothing to get excited about. Three small tacos - all beverages (including water) were extra. Our guide was good, but overall, the snorkeling was the most enjoyable part.”

“My wife, 10yr old daughter, & I had an amazing time on this tour and would highly recommend to our friends & family. The crew was great! Jonathan our guide was great at explaining everything, patient, & very attentive. Carlos, the photographer, captured amazing photos & was also very helpful in the water. Pedro, our captain was great navigating the catamaran & Israel was helpful at getting us back on the boat. The ceviche at the sandbar was the perfect snack and coming back to The Money Bar to a full restaurant, bar, outdoor showers, and bathrooms was nice. Highly recommend!”

Also very funny ! the Crew was very personable. there was approximately 10 or so people on the boat. The water was a bit too cold for my husband and I. My son and his wife enjoyed the snorkeling. They took us to 3 different area's to snorkel. Would highly recommend 👌”

Lunch was lovely in The Monkey bar beach club. Buggy experience was brilliant, long roads with the breeze cooling you from the heat. We went to some quaint little spots and would highly recommend this tour to everyone. 10/10 for Aaron and I hope he gets this recognition”

“The communication was not good. The time was changed without being notified. We missed the boat and had to pay $70 in taxi fare to try to catch it and the representative was so rude and not helpful. I will say the reps when we made it to Playa Mia were more helpful and friendly.”
