What are people saying about Costa Maya

Hilda_R, Aug 2026

An amazing excursion!!!!!!!!

The experience was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Reggie, made the entire trip unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Maya culture and took the time to explain everything in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. He also answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The excursion was safe, well organized, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. I highly recommend it, especially if you have Reggie as your guide!

Bacalar – 7 Colors Lagoon Excursión Costa Maya

15/10 Bacalar tour

Don’t miss out on this awesome excursion! I would DEFINITELY recommend this tour to anyone cruising into Costa Maya. We had a FANTASTIC time with the Chak EK team (shout out to the awesome guide and driver Adan and Julio!). The team provided detailed information on how to navigate the port, where to meet AND had someone with our names on a whiteboard. After loading into a sprinter van (with glorious AC), we took about an hour ride to Bacalar that was filled with interesting anecdotes about the history and local culture of the area. Abraham and Andrea then took us out on their boat where there was music, delicious local pineapple/mango/dragon fruit and drinks. After taking in the beautiful views and learning about each cenote, we had a chance to swim in the gorgeous turquoise waters. We then had a delicious taco lunch and headed back to the port.

Lovely experience, worth the time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We booked from our cruise, and finding the pick up location was fairly easy. We traveled about 45-60 minutes to the ruins and for most of the drive the guide was giving history lessons on the Mayan civilization. At the ruins was even better experience. We had the same guide, and he walked us through making stops along the way. There was ample time to take pictures and look around. I never felt rushed. The ruins themselves were worth it to visit. There is a small shopping area, but be aware they do not accept card, only cash. On the way back from ruins we stopped at a fresh fruit stand and the mango and pineapple were soooooo delicious. We decided to go to the beach after and it was a lovely area. There were chairs and umbrellas and restaurants if that’s what you want. Overall very satisfied with my experience!

ASHLEY_E, Aug 2026

Very friendly, great customer service, and delicious food

The workers were very welcoming. We arrived early so they gave us water bottles to take with us while we walked the boardwalk. Just my husband and I were signed up so it ended up being a private experience. The teacher took time to explain everything including how we could adjust the recipe to replicate at home. The food was delicious, and they make accommodations for dietary restrictions. Definitely a 10/10 experience.

Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip

Janette_A, Jul 2026

Once in a lifetime experience!

To our family, this was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We booked this excursion during our RC cruise. The meet up point is a bit of a walk especially in over 90° weather. It took us between 10 and 15 minutes to get to the meet up point. When we arrived, we were provided with cold drinks and they were available as needed. After waiting a few minutes, we were put in a tour van and it was about a 45 minute drive. I think it also helped that we had a fast driver which we did not mind at all. When we arrived, there were some vendors and a small taco stand whipping up some food. not once did we feel that the vendors were pushy. The park was very well organized. Our tour guide Siomara was very knowledgeable and smart. We did lots of walking and a bit of climbing so this might be a difficult excursion for someone who has issues with walking or climbing. The ruins were just as we expected and we even got to see some spider monkeys! It took about one hour or so to walk around the whole park with the tour guide. On our way back, the tour van stopped at a local pineapple vendor, and the tour guide provided sliced pineapple for everyone. Overall, we had a great experience, but as a sidenote, if your cruise ship arrives at a later time, you won’t have too much to do because this excursion pretty much takes up your whole day. When we got back to the meet up point. We probably only had a little over an hour to explore the market and then we had to get back on the cruise ship by 4:30 PM.

Getting Mayan in Mahahual, Puerta Costa Maya

We went to Costa Maya to see the undersold Mayan Chacchoben ruins, which are surreal and not to be missed, and Elliot, the Mayan with the Scottish name!, did not disappoint! The Bacalar lake experience offered several varieties of delicious tacos and the beautiful, but rocky, lake itself was a refreshing swim after the epic morning!

Bacalar Lagoon 7 Colors Excursion from Costa Maya Cruise Port

Richard_S, Jul 2026

Amazing excursion

Bacalar lagoon is absolutely beautiful!! This excursion was 100% worth it. We went on Monday, July 20th, 2026. It's a good 1hr20min ride from Costa Maya port to the lagoon and same time for drive back, but we still arrived back with around 45min to spare before ship departure time to be back on the ship. The guides were amazing, friendly, and educated us on the culture and areas. Answered all our questions. The tour itself involved plenty of tequila shots, bottled water, the BEST and SWEETEST pineapple and a good lunch at a local restaurant where we all chose beef, chicken or pork tacos. If you are cruising, don't miss out on this excursion! My 6yo had a blast swimming in the shallow waters and it was really neat to see the various cenotes and pirates channel. It is a decent walk from the port as you have to walk around the shops and then behind them. Not a bad walk for us in our 40s and my 6yo, but would've been a little taxing on my parents in their 70s if they would've gone as they have bad knees/hips. They could've made the walk to the meeting point, just would've taken a little longer with a rest break or 2. The actual excursion is minimal walking and a nice gentle boat ride. The only other thing that "may" be difficult for those who don't walk well is getting up/down the pontoon ladder to swim if they choose. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed this excursion and would 100% do it again! Thank you for such a wonderful time!!

A+ excursion!

What a wonderful excursion! Our tour guide, Leo, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history and interesting facts about our different stops. The Bacalar Lake was the highlight of our entire trip. The water was so blue and perfect for swimming. I highly recommend this excursion. Also, a big thank you to our driver Erick, who stopped to get us a fresh pineapple to eat on the boat ride, and who drove us everywhere. Thank you for everything.

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins Excursion

Stephen_S, Jul 2026

Excellent Tour and Tour Guides

This was a family trip for 13, ranging from age 10 to 80. Our tour guide Juan Carlos and our driver Harmayer were excellent. They took extra time with us since one of our group needed additional assistance. Juan's knowledge was outstanding. Both Juan and Harmayer were more than guides for us, they became the 14th and 15th member of our group. The ruins were beautiful. Highly recommend!!

Costa Maya Sport Fishing

Dwain_P, Jun 2026

Fishing trip

They worked super hard to get us each fish! Seas were very rough, to be expected. Not for the faint of heart when on a smaller boat with rough seas. We thought it was a blast! They cooked up our catch after with tacos and ceviche which was absolutely amazing!!!!! Caught 3 mackerel, 2 of them were close to 3’ long.

Would do it again if longer port time allowed be sure to confirm before booking

Be sure that you will actually have a full 8 hour experience. The food was great, service was great! The vendors peddling all the goodies was a little overwhelming when we were trying to enjoy the time there. And some shops closed up before we were able to visit.
