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.

Perfect Mix of History & Relaxation!
The One Day Tour to Chacchoben Mayan City and Bacalar Lagoon was an amazing experience. The ruins were fascinating, and our certified guide made the history come alive with great explanations.
Bacalar Lagoon was absolutely stunning—the water colors are unreal and it was the perfect place to relax after exploring the ruins.
Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. Highly recommend this tour if you want a mix of culture and natural beauty in one day

Worth it!
Fabulous. Tour guide, Elliott, was amazing, personable and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. The Chaccohben site was worth the trip. The special treat was making tortillas and having lunch with the REAL women of Chacchoben in the small town nearby. My 87 yr old mother went and this was the highlight of the cruise for her.

Mayan ruins yes, beach no !
Its not 5 star just because beach ... The beach was not good, sea was unclean and boats passed all the time with smell of diesel. Mayan ruins were fanrastic

Mayan Ruins.
Great tour and informational on Mayan culture. Hot and humid at the ruins. Bring insect repellant. Stop at fruit stand was nice.

Fun experience
Meeting location easy to get to. Guide was knowledgeable about the culture and entertaining. Kept us in the shaded areas as much as possible which was helpful. Bus had AC and cold drinks provided. Lunch was simple but perfect right before beach.

Loved it!
Manuel and JC were great! JC knew a lot about the area and the ancient customs. Manuel was a great driver. Definitely recommend this excursion! We loved seeing the ruins. Take bug repellent if going in the summer. We got some fresh pineapple on the way back. It was really good!

Carol was great, we...
Carol was great, we enjoyed the smaller group and the ability to move quickly when needed or double back if we wanted to. The quick stop at the Lighthouse on the way back to the port gave us a great photo opportunity with the MSC Seashore in the background

Quick and Seamless Refund!
We were excited to do this excursion, however, choppy seas and strong winds prevented our ship from docking in Costa Maya. I let Chac Ek (operator) know and within the hour they worked with Viator to get our booking fully refunded. Was grateful to get such great service and an easy resolution.
Hopefully we’ll be back sometime soon to do this tour!

When to visit

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.
