CHANKANAAB PARK

[Darlene]

I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ON CHANKANAAB PARK,ENTRY FEE'S FOR ADULTS AND KIDS 8 & 10, SNORKLING EQUIPMENT RENTAL PRICES, CAB FARES FROM PIER TO PARK AND ANY OTHER HELPFUL INFO YOU THINK I MIGHT NEED. IS IT CHEAPER TO DO THIS ON OUR OWN THEN TO TAKE ONE OF THE SHIP'S EXCURSIONS?

Hi Darlene,
You can easily catch a cab at the pier and go over to Chankanaab park.

Here is a link to their web-site where you can get additional information:

I was there in November. I think the cab fare from the downtown ferry dock was $5.00 and the admission to Chankanaab was $8-10. No need to do this through a ship shore excursion. It's a piece of cake on your own and cabs are readily available.

You can rent lockers and snorkeling equipment for a nominal fee. We spent a week in Mexico and the nachos we had at one of the Chankanaab restaurants were the best.

Thank you both for the info, the more I find out about Chankanaab the more excited I get. My daughters are both asking about all the "pretty fish" they are going to see. Thanx Again!

Darlene: Don't forget to take a walk through the botanical gardens. You can even hook up with a guide to tell you about the various plants and ancient artifacts. There is a recreated "mayan dwelling" . And your daughters will enjoy seeing the iquanas everywhere.

$8. in Cab from International Pier (Standard rate they all charge). $10. for Adults to get in Park, not sure about kids.

As for Snorkel gear, yes it is available, not sure of price thoguh.

Is that cab fare per person?
Thank you

That cab fare is per cab, up to 4 people. There is a board at the taxi area that lists all the fares for different points on Cozumel.

We were there in April, with 2 kids ages 6 and 11, I believe the snorkeling equipment was about $8-10 which included, mask, snorkel and fins.

make sure you take crackers so you can throw thjem in the water to draw hundreds of fish as well as feed for the iguanas. Take bug repelant sun screen. the black mosquitos are very bad

[pipefit]

5.00 for fins mask and snorkle 1.00 more for life jacket. scuba is 35.00

Is there a beach there also? We will be there with children and grandparents and my parents would rather sit on a beautiful beach. Is this the place to do all of that? Is there local shopping also?

[Donna]

Lisa,
Yes, to the beach, so the grandparents can relax there as well, have fun!
