We invite you to come with us and enjoy the best snorkeling on Cozumel at Chankanaab Marine Park. Swim alongside tropical fish and a colorful coral reef in a sheltered cove with calm waters. Then relax on a sandy beach with your all-inclusive day pass that includes a buffet lunch, a guided snorkel (gear provided), a sea lion show, and so much more.
Start your day with a short taxi ride from your Cozumel cruise ship pier to Chankanaab Marine Park. Your entrance fee into the park is included. Once you are checked in, the facilities are yours for the day. You won't find this offer with anyone else - only with Shore Excursioneer. All cruise guests are welcome, no restrictions!
Important fact: Chankanaab is a protected marine park. So this is where you will see marine life as it should be in crystal clear waters with unbelievable visibility. You will snorkel in a sheltered, cove-like, area in warm waters accessed by either the beach or with a wide stair entry, making this sport available for everyone. Experienced snorkelers will not be disappointed with the abundance of tropical fish, coral, sponges and more that can be found in the world's second largest reef system. All snorkeling gear is included along with experienced snorkeling instruction - you will be given several options when you check in. You may choose to also snorkel at your leisure throughout the day.
Included in your all inclusive day pass is a beach chair for relaxation on the sandy shore, but there are numerous shaded palapas as well. Or just enjoy the refreshing water while children play in the sand at the water's edge.
Once you get hungry, there is a buffet lunch included with fajitas, chicken tacos, chicken enchiladas, grilled fish, salad, fruit, nachos and salsa along with water and soft drinks. Lunch service begins at 1:30 PM. There are small on-site restaurants also in Chankanaab if you prefer to purchase additional food or beverages. For your comfort, lockers are also included in your excursion price so you can store your belongings while you are in the water, so your day will be worry free.
But, keep in mind that Chankanaab is not just about the water, there is much else to see and do including a walk through a well-tended, and quite large, botanical garden, sway in a hammock, view the Mayan House (homemade tortillas samples), enjoy the Tequila Exhibit (with samples), browse the Eco-Archeological and Archaeological Mayan Replicas, maybe watch a Sea Lion Show, there's lots to do here. There is even a swimming pool. You also might spot some of the famed iguanas of Chankanaab. Do not forget your camera to capture the sites and memories both above and below the water. There are maps throughout the property to help you find your way, and showers and restrooms as well.
There are also numerous taxis waiting at the entrance of Chankanaab to take you back to your Cozumel cruise pier.
Please note that guests who want to join your group but do not wish to snorkel may choose to stay on the beach instead (no price difference).

Freddy picked us up at the port and took us everywhere we wanted to go. There were 6 in my family and he brought a large van with lots of room for our gear. My husband and I have been to the island many times but we wanted to show our kids everywhere we love to go. Freddy felt like part of our family. He was extremely helpful and was great to talk to about his family and the history of the island.
Next time we cruise to Cozumel, we will definitely call Freddy! Excursion: Cozumel Private Island Tour with Driver View more reviews Write a Review

We did a Carnival shore excursion to Tulum Mayan Ruins a couple of years ago and decided to try the ones on Cozumel this time. San Gervasio was nice, but just ok compared to the ones at Tulum. They were smaller and more scattered. I guess it is a great way to see ruins during a short time in Cozumel. Mr. Sanchos was nice, very nice. We loved it and booked the driver for an extra hour. We enjoyed our time.Excursion: Private San Gervasio Mayan Ruins and Beach Club Excursion View more reviews Write a Review
Management Response: Hello Sleepys,
Yes, the San Gervasio ruins here in Cozumel are much smaller in size than many sites on the mainland. But I am sure you learned, they had an enormous place in the Mayan civilization. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Mr. Sanchos! Having a private driver and guide really does make an excursion special.
Thank you,

Management Response: Hello Benton Beach Boys. Thank you for your review of the Cozumel Mr. Sanchos Beach Water Park you booked through us. It sounds like you picked the perfect excursion for your day in Cozumel. We look forward to having you join us again for future cruise shore excursions.

My children were pushing me to do this tour. We ordered a couple of tours from Shore Excursioneer for our last cruise so we were able to save money with their multiple excursion discounts!! Saving money is always a good thing.
The submarine staff ran things very well and we were able to see quite abit of sea life. It was really interesting to learn why everything was such a strange color or rather lack of color underwater. It changed when they shone the light on the reef! We had a good time but there was one guest who got seasick so I recommend you take Dramamine before you go just in case.Excursion: Atlantis Submarine Adventure Excursion View more reviews Write a Review
Management Response: Hello Ray,
We really appreciate you taking the time to post your review and comments about the Atlantis Submarine Excursion here in Cozumel. It is an excursion that not only adults but as you said, children also enjoy. Your recommendation about Dramamine is a good one for those who are susceptible to seasickness.
Thank you,

Jet skiing at Mr. Sanchos was great. I have never seen such pretty water. My boyfriend wanted to get one for half an hour and the price was the same for 1 or 2 of us. We also had the Mr. Sanchos All Inclusive that I had heard so much about. Nice tour!Excursion: Jet Ski at Mr. Sanchos Beach Club View more reviews Write a Review

My friend and I have wanted to try this but there is no water where we are from. We loved it! It was kinda tricky getting your balance at the beginning but after a few minutes, it was much easier. We were paddling around and having a blast. The instructor was very patient. The big surprize was that after the SUP, we got to stay at Mr. Sanchos and use the facilities! We purchased a some beer and nachos and lounged by the pool. Fun day in Cozumel!Excursion: Cozumel Stand Up Paddle Board Lesson at Mr. Sanchos View more reviews Write a Review

There were not very many people which was great. My younger child had more fun than my teenager. The food was good and the drinks were good too. I was a little nervous about catching a taxi back to the pier but there were several waiting when we were leaving. It was a relaxing day :)Excursion: Allegro Resort Cozumel Beach Day Pass View more reviews Write a Review

6 of us booked the mini sub excursion and we were very happy that everybody was on the same trip. Rafael and Marcos made sure that we felt comfortable in the subs and they also had divers with us at all times so we could focus on having fun. The machines were easy to drive and it was nice to dive with the head staying dry. Next time we will have a camera with us!Excursion: Cozumel Mini Submarine Under Water Scooter Excursion View more reviews Write a Review

Mr. Sanchos Beach was was beautiful! This all inclusive package came highly recommended on cruise critic and tripadvisor and I must say we had a blast. We added jet skiing and para-sailing to our beach day and were able to safe money through the online discount. We definitely recommend Sanchos and will be back!Excursion: Mr. Sanchos All Inclusive Day Pass View more reviews Write a Review
