Chankanaab Park is a really facinating place to visit...in Cozumel. There is a dolphin experience there (may need to book that in advance) as well as snorkeling, a great beach with a restaurant and changing rooms, a small museum, gift shops, paths to walk that have all sorts of plants and flowers...pieces of Mayan artwork throughout. I notice that Carnival now has excursions to Chankanaab...although it's about a $10 cab ride and $10 entrance fee...so I'm not sure if their excursion is a must or not that would depend on how you feel about it. The cab will drop you off in the shoping district...you can shop for awhile...and then take a cab the rest of the way back to the pier if you haven't walked that far already. Make sure if you do take a cab that you establish the price before getting in. Oh...they do have a shop that rents out snorkeling equipment on the beach, too. One of the few places I've been able to get magnified lenses - though those were limited.

[QUOTE="SandyBeach, post: 673294"] Chankanaab Park is a really facinating place to visit...in Cozumel. There is a dolphin experience there (may need to book that in advance) as well as snorkeling, a great beach with a restaurant and changing rooms, a small museum, gift shops, paths to walk that have all sorts of plants and flowers...pieces of Mayan artwork throughout.
