99. Bacalar Lagoon and Chacchoben Mayan Ruins tour from Costa Maya
4.3· 57 reviews· 5.5 hoursEight hours, includes visits to Chacchoben ruins and Bacalar Lagoon, with swimming, kayaking, and lunch by the water.
“My family of four, including our 12 and 10-year-old kids, had a wonderful time on this excursion. Magalie was our guide for the entire trip and provided plenty of information during the ride. She stayed with us even while Edder narrated about the ruins. The ruins were incredible and visiting them was a highlight. Edder was knowledgeable, though at times he talked a bit excessively, repeating himself. He was very friendly, and I appreciated his passion. The Lagoon itself was lovely, but recent storms prevented us from seeing all seven colors; we managed to see only two or three. This was a good experience overall, although the water was quite choppy. We couldn't use the two-person kayaks as they took on too much water, which made me uneasy about my daughter kayaking alone, despite her wearing a life jacket. Magalie also assisted with serving our drinks and the food, which included four tacos—your choice of al pastor or chicken fajitas. Even the kids enjoyed them. In summary, it was a very good experience. I might consider doing this again if the water conditions were better, but we had a great time regardless.”— Robert_D
1010. Beach break in Costa Maya from cruise port
4.3· 47 reviews· 5 hoursFive hours at a relaxing beach in Mahahual — open bar, lunch options, and water activities included.
“I had an excellent experience on this cruise excursion. If you're cruising, I suggest disembarking as early as you can. The beach was clean, and the staff were lively. I had several Mexican holy water shots, which were enjoyable, and I would definitely return. Many vendors approached us, but a polite "no thank you" sent them on their way. Massages are offered but are priced like those in the U.S. My partner and I made good use of the beach chairs, and the water was pleasant, though quite shallow, making it great for relaxation. Just remember to bring your own towels.”— Samantha_B
