Dune Buggy Island Tour
The Dune Buggy Island Tour is one of Cozumel's finest eco-tours and is an adventure to treasure forever. This trip is taken in recycled VW dune buggies that are fabricated right here in Cozumel by the owners of this tour provider.

With open-air, roll bar tops and big fat wheels, these dune buggies are custom made by the owners to provide a day of adventure. Enjoy the thrill of driving up the beachfront highway to a great snorkel area, then heading on to El Cedral, the oldest town in Cozumel for more adventure, then continue to the "wild side" other side of the island for a lunch break and great photo ops before heading back to town. Giving you a real taste of the whole island of Cozumel.

A tour guide will prepare the dune buggies, pack some delicious healthy snacks as well as a Mexican style picnic lunch to enjoy. And the guide will also bring along plenty of refreshments and beer to keep everyone hydrated on the island journey. You will see small ruins, both coastlines, pristine reefs, and occasionally encounter local wildlife. An awesome all-day, fun-filled adventure for the whole family to enjoy!

NOTE: For many years, all of the "island/jungle tours" left town via highway and made their way to one particular stretch of Cozumel's beachfront roadway that was not paved with asphalt. This is where all of the tours had their "off road" portions of the tour. However, this several mile stretch of gravel road was washed out and severely damaged in 2005 by the hurricanes so NONE of the dune buggy tour providers are able to use this area now. As a result, most all are simply "island tours" now rather than "jungle or off road" adventures even though the vehicles are built to endure the sand and limestone passageways that eek through the most remote areas of Cozumel.

I felt like a kid again! So cool tooling along the beach. It was just pure heaven. We visited the most remote places. Afterwards we went to Palmar and had Happy Hour out on the most beautiful beach front and watched the sunset. We also saw some of the most beautiful sites when we visited the lagoon. Definitely, don't miss this one! The Witherspoon Family ~ Freemont, CA

Outstanding adventure!!! Highly recommended. Attention to each and every detail was beyond anything I expected! We owe you one! Please keep us up to date on your adventures. Mary & Joe Vos ~ Birmingham, MI

We had a wonderful time and appreciated the extras you did for us. This is one of the most exciting things I have ever done! The buggies ran beautifully and were real zippy. Had plenty of food and drink too! Remember to bring sunscreen as it gets really hot. Bill Howland ~ Villanova, PA
