Book it!
This was honestly the best way to experience Chachoben and the Lagoons. We arrived early to Chacchoben before any of the tour groups came and it was so peaceful and a really special experience. Our guide Caro was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour for our family. It was a perfect cruise excursion and we really utilized our time wonderfully!

Phenomenal Experience
This excursion was fantastic!! The tour of the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins was wonderfully organized, extremely interesting, and incredibly informative. The visit to the lagoon was a delightful break that included our lunch and drinks, and several members of our group swam and a few even kayaked.
Our driver Edgar was polite and efficient, and our tour guide Edder was simply amazing, knowledgeable and kind.

Costa Maya Chacchoben
Toucan tours van was located in the parking lot. It was a short drive to their main office where we were greeted with welcome drink, water bottles. They provide plenty of water bottles throughout the tour. Our tour guide Gaby and Driver Nacho were great. Gaby provided good information about Mayan culture. The transfer to beach vehicle was seamless. Beach was small but they had chairs for everyone. Don’t book Mayan / Chacchoben excursions through cruise lines. Book it through viator instead.

The experience was amazing and our tour guide Huitzki was very knowledgeable about Mayan history and about Mahahual. I appreciated that he had different perspectives and was really funny.

Ozzy & Yoshi were a great driver & Maya guide. Yoshi explained all about the Chacchoben ruin, and we enjoyed our 4 types of tacos & swim in the picturesque Balacar Lagoon. Loved the small group size.

Good times
Tour guide was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The ruins were amazing to see. The lagoon water was beautiful. The tacos were some of the best I have ever had. Outstanding. The beach itself was rocky and would have liked to known to bring water shoes. The resort was nice but could use some up-keeping. Like the pier that lead to the water needed work and the faucets in the bathroom were coming lose from the sink. Overall though a fun experience.

Since the ruins are mostly unexcavated, visitors should wear sneakers or hiking boots, not flip-flops.
Mosquitos may be abundant, especially during rainy season, so remember to bring insect repellent.
Keep your eyes open for deer, peccaries (piglike animals), armadillos, gray foxes, and spider and howler monkeys, which inhabit the surrounding jungle.
