Entertainment/Activities Shore Excursion - Grand Caymen Combo Tour..2-Stop Stingray City, Snorkel, & Island Tour This is no ordinary day in paradise! They'll swim with stingrays, visit a turtle farm, and take a trip to Hell!
They'll begin this fascinating tour by boarding a cabin cruiser for a two-hour snorkel trip to Stingray City, where they'll be able to get out of the boat, stand on the shallow sandbar, and interact with the stingrays. Let the stingrays swim around them or don snorkel gear and get a little more up-close-and-personal. They won't believe how gentle and friendly these creatures are when they feed them right out of their hand!
The second stop is the incredible Barrier Reef, where they may see nurse sharks and moray eels, or the gorgeous Coral Gardens, known for its abundance of colorful fish. Their guide will determine the location based on the day's water conditions. They will have approximately 30 minutes of snorkel time at each stop. Their captain will determine the order of the snorkel stops.
Then, to eliminate lots of extra driving, they'll begin their land tour once they dock in the marina. Although the order of this portion of their tour may change, they'll see the prestigious Governor's House (from the outside), which Caymanians are very proud of, as well as the Old Homestead.
Continue on to drive by the famous Seven Mile Beach, which is as well-known for its stretch of white sand as it is for the shallow reefs located just off shore.
Next, they'll travel to Boatswain's Beach (pronounced "Bosuns"), a new 23-acre adventure marine park that is home to the Cayman Turtle Farm, one of Grand Cayman's most popular family attractions. Enjoy a guided tour of this one-of-a-kind turtle facility, where interactive attractions bring the wildlife, culture, and heritage of the Cayman Islands to life.
Finally, they'll take a trip to Hell and back. Located in the district of West Bay, Hell is an outcropping of limestone, looking eerily like someone's imagined vision of its namesake. The area features a red hell-themed post office from which you can send postcards, a gift shop with souvenirs, and a costumed devil greeter.

Shore Excursion - Belize PRIVATE XUNANTUNICH--THE MAYAN CITY UPON A HILL Not only will they see a well-preserved Mayan city, but they'll also see the diverse and stunning landscape of Belize.
On their way to Xunantunich, they'll enjoy beautiful views of Belize city, farm vistas, mangroves, grasslands, pine forests, rain forests, multiple rivers, and the towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena. Just before arriving to Xunantunich, they'll ride a hand-cranked ferry that will take them across the Mopan River. Shortly thereafter, they'll arrive to the ancient city on a hill. They will hear monkeys in the jungle.
Xunantunich, Mayan for "Stone Woman," was once home to 200,000 Mayans at its peak. The city consists of six major plazas with more than 25 temples and palaces. They can climb the long staircase to the top of "El Castillo," the spectacular 130-foot-tall Mayan temple. On a clear day, the views are spectacular and they can even see well past the Guatemalan border. The namesake of this city is derived from the numerous sightings, dating back to 1892, of a woman dressed in white with glowing eyes who ascends the stairs of El Castillo and disappears into a stone wall.
The site has a wealth of well-preserved friezes, altars, and buildings, as well as an interesting museum that displays stelae. Another highlight of this city is the ball court. The ball game was a central part of the Mayan culture. A heavy rubber ball was passed between players only using their hips, elbows, forearms, and buttocks. During some games, the captain of the winning team was decapitated, which was a great honor. Ball courts are also known for their advanced acoustics. While you're there, experiment with sounds to find out if this ball court still has the outstanding acoustics it had centuries ago.
If you're fascinated by history and Mayan culture, this tour will be an unforgettable experience.
THIS IS A DEFINITE MUST DO FOR ADAM, THE HISTORY LOVER. HE HAS DREAMED OF THIS.

For approximately 1 hour, they will be tantalized with tales (and facts) of ancient and modern Mayan life. We'll discuss the culture as it was during the time of Tulum, while also examining the inscriptions and murals on the temples, including describing the decoration, rich iconography, and its meaning to the Mayan people.
They may also have time for a little shopping or relaxing on the nearby beach before returning to Cozumel.
From the moment they depart their ship or hotel, they will become an explorer in a new land. The passion of their guide and the stimulation of the sites, scenery, and experiences will undoubtedly make this the most memorable day of their vacation.
They have nothing to do to prepare for this tour. We have included everything--an English-speaking guide, a ferry ride, transportation at Playa del Carmen, and admission to Tulum.
