Then, participate in an exciting and fun salsa dance lesson that will fill your day with lasting memories! Finally, enjoy the beach, sun, and sand at Playa Mia.

Salsa, Salsa and More Salsa!

After meeting your tour guide at the designated meeting point you will depart for your Cozumel shore excursion, and make your way to Playa Mia Grand Beach and Water Park. After a short ride, you will arrive to where the fun never ends.

This deluxe package with buffet and open bar included is for the person who does not want to have to worry about anything on their port day in Cozumel.

Start your Cozumel excursions by learning the secrets of how to prepare salsa. Combine your freshly made salsa with a sampling of delicious quesadillas, corn chips and fried tacos. Enjoy your salsas with tasty margaritas, both made for and brought to you from a bar. Outside the class enjoy an international buffet and domestic open bar.

Next on your Cozumel tour, it's time to learn how to salsa dance! Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in the Caribbean. The movements of salsa have their origins in Cuban Son, Cha-cha-cha, Mambo and Puerto Rican Bomba and Plena as well as other dance forms.

After the dance lesson, be prepared to enjoy the best of the Caribbean; relax and let loose with top-notch services, facilities and exciting activities for all ages. This famous beach park is the ideal place to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, sunbathe on the white-sand beach and have a blast in the brand-new water park. Explore Buccaneer's Bay kids area, a lagoon-pool chock-full of fun activities including a pirate ship, water cannons, water sprays and animal slides. Relax with your favorite drink at the Oasis Island Pool and Hydro Massage Tub or make a splash on the 200-foot long Twin Twister Waterslides.

In addition to the white sand beach and beautiful Cozumel water, there is a shopping area, swimming pool, lounge chairs, beach volleyball and soccer courts, ping-pong tables, restrooms and dressing rooms, kayaks, paddle boats, water bicycles, floating mats, and the amazing floating park. Under the ocean, there are sunken Mayan relics you can snorkel over.

For an additional fee, the following activities and items are also available at the park: drinks at the espresso bar, beach umbrellas, snorkel gear, other water sport equipment, outdoor massage, hair braiding, a fish spa, parasailing, and more.

If you cannot find something to do at Playa Mia, then you are not looking.

To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.

We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.

Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction.

We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.

Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world. These tours generally range in size from 2-12 people compared to larger tours which can number up to 50 people. While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.

In our experience, exceptional travel experiences are almost always delivered by exceptional people. With that in mind, we utilize a comprehensive approach to select and employ the leading tour guides and tour providers around the globe.
