  1. Bacalar Lagoon and Mayan culture tour from Costa Maya Port, Costa Maya1

    1. Bacalar Lagoon and Mayan culture tour from Costa Maya Port

    4.9· 10 reviews· 5.5 hours

    A full-day private tour — visit Chacchoben village, interact with a local Mayan family, and unwind at the Seven Color Lagoon, just one hour from the port.

    This excursion is a must-do if you want an engaging and educational experience. Eliot is by far the most knowledgeable tour guide I've encountered in my 20 years of cruising. My husband, teenage sons, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. The food was outstanding, and the lagoon provided a calming atmosphere. Overall, it was an excellent experience that I highly recommend.116dkt

    2. Guided tour of Chacchoben Mayan Ruins and local Mayan village

    4.9· 103 reviews· 5.5 hours

    Four hours guided tour visiting Chacchoben Ruins and a local Mayan village, including a traditional lunch prepared by residents.

    We had a wonderful time on the Mayan Experience tour with Eddar. The meeting point was straightforward to locate. This was my son's highlight of the cruise. Our small group of 14 arrived at Chacchoben before the cruise excursions, allowing us to explore the site without the crowds. We also appreciated the tasty Mayan lunch. Overall, it was a great glimpse into the culture, and I strongly recommend this excursion.squeekcar
  3. Bacalar Lagoon excursion from Costa Maya cruise port, Costa Maya3

    3. Bacalar Lagoon excursion from Costa Maya cruise port

    4.6· 53 reviews· 5 hours

    Seven-hour guided tour with round-trip transport — explore Bacalar Lagoon, swim in cenotes, and enjoy lunch with tequila tasting.

    Jocelyn truly excelled at providing care for my mom and me during our experience. She offered great insights into the history of the cenotes and lagoons. The coordination with our ship's timing was excellent. Although I can’t recall the names of our boat and shuttle drivers, they ensured our safety throughout. We enjoyed refreshing Mexican drinks and fruit, which added to the experience. I highly recommend this to anyone and plan to return next year.V7862AVveronicar
  1. Pitaya Beach day pass with snorkeling and massage in Costa Maya, Costa Maya4

    4. Pitaya Beach day pass with snorkeling and massage in Costa Maya

    4.6· 16 reviews· 6 hours

    Full-day pass includes unlimited drinks, a 1.5-hour snorkeling tour, kayaking, and a 50-minute massage by the beach.

    The massage was incredible, and I really appreciated the comfort of the covered beach chair. The snorkeling guides were patient with my lack of experience. Although the drinks were diluted, the service was polite. I would certainly do this again.Paula_M
  2. All-inclusive beach day at Nacional Beach Club, Costa Maya, Costa Maya5

    5. All-inclusive beach day at Nacional Beach Club, Costa Maya

    4.3· 107 reviews· 8 hours

    A full-day beach pass — includes meals, drinks, and amenities at Nacional Beach Club, accessible by taxi from the port.

    The food is excellent, and the beach is very comfortable. However, the pool is quite small. I plan to return here whenever I visit Costa Maya. Be prepared to encounter vendors trying to sell items.Richard_F
