Since the outbreak of Covid-19...
We continuously have been monitoring the local and global impacts of the pandemic and are updating our policies and actions accordingly. As a result, our number one priority is the safety of our staff and guests. For that reason, we have taken the necessary steps to ensure a safe reopening, and we want to walk you through these steps:
Certification
Firstly, since the beginning of June, the Secretary of Tourism of Mexico launched a mandatory certification to ensure that all tour businesses complied with the new health protocols for reopening. Beach Bum Cozumel is now fully certified and complies with all the sanitary and health procedures as established by the Secretary of Tourism, which means that our staff is certified and trained accordingly to maintain the highest levels of hygiene in the workplace and throughout the execution of our tours.
This certification complies with the highest levels of sanitary protocols approved by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the United States. To read more about this certification, click here.

Reduced number of participants
To reduce the risk of agglomerations, we have decided to limit our tour group to 12 people max. Every time we exceed that number, we will open a new group and send in a new guide. We love small group tours anyway and now more than ever.
