Taxi to coconuts?

Taxi there and back will be about $70-80 r/t -- hourly rates are usually about $35+/hour. How many hours and where do you want to go "all day"? :confused:

 

You might check with Tours Plaza or Black Hat for a quote for a guided tour around the island and let them know the stops you want to make.

It would be much easier to just hire a driver for the day... Black Hat, as someone else suggested is my "go to" driver for Cozumel. If you take a cab one way, it's sometimes difficult to find one to get back on the East side. Having a driver would give you the flexibility to visit other places on the way around the island. FYI, Coconuts is the "most popular" place on the East side, but there are "better" options as well... (Mezcalitos, The Liquor Box, Rastas, ect...)

Don't take a taxi there and expect to get one for the way back. Taxis don't go over there as gas is expensive. You will get stuck. If you don't want to do an excursion, pay a taxi driver for the time you want, like 4 hours, and have him wait while you go in the restaurant. Otherwise you are not going to be happy.

Not sure if this would interest you, but the Cozumel Bar Hop visits four bars on the east side of the island, one of which is Coconuts. For $57pp you get the roundtrip transportation, a welcome shot, and a souvenir t-shirt.

+1 for the Cozumel Bar Hop. Definitely an awesome way to experience the "other" side of the island. Coconuts!

 

Best thing they provide is a safe ride back to the ship after stopping at 4 bars. The guide (or more like Bar Hop Babysitter) and driver will make sure you get to the pier with plenty of time to spare. We have Hopped almost completely sober and have Hopped not even a little bit sober. Both are a great time.

 

Check Trip Advisor as well, they are VERY highly rated. We have Hopped 5 times, and are looking forward to our 6th very soon.

Have you tried contacting him on FB? Usually replies within a few hours or sooner. Search "Black Hat Cozumel" and send via FB messenger...

I've been trying to get in touch with Black Hat for a few days with no luck, does anyone know how timely they are when contacted?

If you don't have success contacting Black Hat and are looking for a private driver, we always use ToursPlaza. (ToursPlaza.com.)

 

They have a team of drivers and Eduardo, the administrator will reply quite quickly and is very efficient.
