📸 Cozumel Cruise Port | Mexico
📝 My Story
We were buzzing with excitement as we stepped off the ship in Cozumel, Mexico — this was the port where our much-anticipated dolphin excursion at Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park would begin! The port itself had such a fun, welcoming energy — music playing, bright colors everywhere, and locals greeting us with smiles.
Before even boarding our shuttle to the excursion, we noticed how much there was to do right in the port area. From restaurants and bars to rows of shops packed with souvenirs, snacks, and handmade crafts — this cruise port was alive. After our dolphin adventure later that day, we returned to this same port with just enough time to walk around, grab a few last photos, and soak in the energy before heading back on board.
