El Cedral cooking experience - My wife and I wanted something special to do before we left the island on our last day. We’ve been to Cozumel several times and enjoy learning about the history and culture. Our kind host Michelle showed us the historic area of El Cedral adjacent to her property. Great pictures and lush vegetation. We learned to prepare a few delicious native dishes, had our fill of a fresh lunch cooked right in front of us. We enjoyed the open-air setting, conversation, and relaxed atmosphere. The shuttle service to and from the location gave us the option to be picked up near our hotel and dropped off at the airport where we got on our plane. A great way to spend a few hours doing something different and relaxing.

Great experience learning about life on the ranch in Mexico - I have been to Cozumel many, many times, so I was looking for an experience/excursion that was off the beaten path, so to speak. This was a great way to spend part of our day.

Amazing Experience! Will always treasure it! - Amazing experience!!! We had a wonderful time touring the farm, tasting numerous local foods, preparing appetizers, and eating an authentic meal. If you want to get a taste of the local culture, this is the excursion for you! They all spoke English very well. Everyone treated us like their royal guests. Even the driver was super friendly and answered all of our questions about local culture. In fact, the driver volunteered to go back to get our bag and return it to us when we realized we left it at the farm. Don't miss the full farm experience!

Unique Fun in Cozumel!! - We followed the easy instructions given to us by Viator when our Princess cruise docked in Cozumel and found our very friendly driver, Frank waiting for us exactly as planned. It was a short scenic drive to meet Carlos and his family at their small farm. Carlos took us on a very informative short walking tour of the farm and explained the history, growing and harvesting of many local plants, fruits and vegetables. We learned about how tequila is made and many plants used to infuse the tequila with flavors. We heard many interesting stories and folklore from Carlos and were able to taste different fruits/vegetables. We also toured the “native outdoor kitchen” where handmade tortillas, roasted tomatoes, roasted peppers were cooked to help us prepare the most delicious dishes including homemade guacamole! We enjoyed some delicious tequila and cocoanut drinks with our lunch which Carlos helped us prepare. We spent about 3-1/2 hours at the farm and could have definitely stayed longer as it was so interesting. Carlos and his family were wonderful hosts and even offered walking sticks and chairs during the tour for our “not so mobile” companions. After the tour, Frank picked us back up and returned us to our ship with time to spare to look in some shops as we made our way to our ship. We would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to do something a little more unique, and off of the beaten path rather than book a typical shore excursion through the cruise line.

Bad service - Our excursion was canceled very last minute for weather. We had already booked our taxi to the city and ferry tickets. We were boarding when they called. Obviously nothing to be done about weather but a sooner heads up would have saved us a few hundred dollars 😕
