Creating memories that will last a lifetime, that is why we Disney Cruise. Our seven-night western Caribbean cruise a few weeks ago (July 2018) was nothing short of amazing. This was our first time sailing this itinerary, so we got to experience some fantastic new ports of call with incredible port adventures. Let's take a closer look at some of the Disney Cruise Western Caribbean Port Adventures.
All-Terrain Buggy and Snorkel at Punta Sur National Park - Cozumel, Mexico
As an extra special early birthday present, I chose this adventure for my son specifically. Littlest stayed on the ship and enjoyed the Oceaneer’s Club and Lab all day! With a quick walk off the boat to our ATVs, the tour hit the road pretty quick! With a scenic 25 km drive to the Punta Sur Eco Park, it was a great way to see the city.
Once inside the park, words can’t describe how beautiful the area was. That's what I love as a mom the most, educational and FUN! My son ( as well as me and my husband) learned a lot about the Mayan culture and the history of the island. Did you know that when a Mayan woman was pregnant, they would canoe over to the island to come to the temple for prayer, and THEN, canoe back to the mainland?! Or that the bigger temple was the first alert for incoming hurricanes by using conch shells!
Full disclosure it was HOT! Everyone in the tour by the end was begging to get to the beach LOL! If you didn’t bring your gear to snorkel, the tour guides provided your fins, mask, and life vest (I brought our masks). Omar took us out for a nice 30-minute swim. He showed us a real-life conch, snapper, and I got to touch a sea cucumber! Afterward, we enjoyed an amazing lunch at the shack on the beach!
If you want to really extend your port adventure be sure to look into going from Cozumel to Tulum (MEXICO). Tulum offers some of the most serene beaches in the world.
