What are people saying about Costa Maya

Charlotte_H, May 2026

Beautiful Scenery and Excellent Tour!

We had a wonderful trip to Bacalar! This was our first time visiting Costa Maya on a cruise and after reviewing this posting, we decided to book. We are so glad we did! Pick up from the port was seamless with extensive directions provided on how to find our tour operator once we were off the ship. They communicated throughout the process and even accommodated our seating requirements due to a recent knee surgery for my husband. The water at Bacalar was insanely beautiful and we’re so glad we did not miss out on the opportunity to take this trip. It’s about an hour and 15 minutes from the port, but our tour guide Carol was amazing at ensuring us that we would be back on time. Before we left, she laid out the agenda for the full day and gave us approximate times that we would arrive at each stop. The provided lunch at Taco Loco was delicious and it was a day to remember!

Best experience in Costa Maya

We docked at 7am and thought it was early to do the tour and meet at 7.30 but it was perfect. We beat the crowds at the ruins. Carlos was great and made the 45 minute ride a fun experience. The tour was really interesting and Carlos was full of information about the ruins and the culture. The whole event was put together very professionally. They take note of your ship time and made sure we all on time even with a beach visit. Very safe and a highlight of our week.

One Day Tour to Chacchoben Mayan City and Bacalar Lagoon with a Certified Guide

Anupam_S, May 2026

A Memorable Costa Maya Adventure Thanks to Yoshi & Ozzy!

This was a really enjoyable excursion, but the absolute best part of the trip was our guide, Yoshi, and our driver, Ozzy—they truly made the experience memorable! Yoshi was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly patient. He brought the Mayan history and culture to life during the Chacchoben ruins tour and took the time to thoughtfully answer every question. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing his knowledge, which made the experience so much richer. Ozzy was equally amazing behind the scenes, making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. He carried a big cooler stocked with cold water so everyone stayed hydrated in the heat, which was such a thoughtful touch. And the unexpected highlight? Stopping at the Pineapple Village, where Ozzy got us to try the best pineapple I have ever had—absolutely unforgettable! After exploring the Mayan temples, lunch was a real treat. The tacos and horchata were delicious and exactly what we needed after the morning tour. Kayaking on the beautiful Bacalar Lagoon was a lot of fun and a lovely way to end the day—though our kayak unfortunately started taking on water, which put a slight damper on that part of the experience. Overall, this was a very good excursion, made exceptional by the warmth, care, and enthusiasm of Yoshi and Ozzy. Cheers to both of them for making our Costa Maya day so special!

I messed up on the...

I messed up on the starting time. I thought it was 9:30am, but apparently other cruise ship people were out at 8:15am. The tour info said they would usually wait until 9:30am so I think I was still within the expected time frame. Had to walk outside the port shops which was a bit hard to do, the exit sign wasn't clear, but eventually we've had a local guide that walked us to the tour picking up spot, then we had to take the car to a secondary location where other tour members were already waiting. The 1st car ride took almost 1 hour, then we joined the actual tour guide. Once the tour started it was very informational. I liked how detailed the guide on explaining the Mayan culture and the things we saw. I liked that bottled water and snacks (dry ones and one bag of fresh fruit per 2 people at the end) were provided and included in the price of the tour which was a huge plus. We had 10 people in total for the tour group so it was really intimate. The guide took us to the locations to avoid the large groups so we had ample time to take pictures. Some steps were steep, but it was still okay for my 75 year old mom as the guide took some people to the "easier" climb. (still steep but have rock wall to grab/balance) We went to the lighthouse at the end for a quick photo stop, then we went back to the ship.

3 Hour Costa Maya Snorkeling Excursion - La Leyenda ECO-TOURS

DeeDee_B, May 2026

Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure in Costa Maya

Our private snorkeling excursion in Costa Maya was hands down one of the best experiences of our cruise! Brianna was absolutely incredible — calm, professional, easygoing, and always focused on keeping everyone safe and comfortable while still making sure we had an unforgettable adventure. She took us to multiple snorkeling spots where we saw stunning marine life and beautiful coral formations. You can genuinely tell she loves what she does and cares deeply about giving guests an amazing experience. The drinks and snacks were such a nice touch, especially the fresh chips and guacamole made by the captain — absolutely delicious! Snorkeling the second largest reef in the world is truly a must-do when visiting Costa Maya, and this family-owned business made it feel personal, authentic, and special. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Costa Maya - Pitaya Beach Open Bar, Snorkeling, Massage and Lunch

Jonathan_N, May 2026

Such a Thrilling Time

The whole experience was amazing. The hosts were super accommodating working with my Spanglish and still providing such a pleasant time. Everything was explained in detail and matched the itinerary. The host and hostess made sure we were setup and comfortable, gave us time, and then coordinated the snorkeling experience. I have never been until this excursion and I had a great time. Balthazar and Ernesto explained everything and Ernesto pointed out so many different fish and sea animals. Getting back, the massage was amazing, and the waiter did a phenomenal job catering to us. He made sure we constantly had drinks and deconflcited times to ensure we maximized the time we had. This entire experience was well worth the price and the entire team of people were so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be coming back to Pitaya Beach Club the next time I come to Costa Maya!

Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya

Kelly_V, May 2026

A great experience - Highly recommend!

This was a fantastic excursion experience, which included a nice range of activities. My husband and I really enjoyed our tour of the historic Mayan ruins, and our tour guide Juan did a fantastic job explaining the history behind it. Lunch was delicious; we had a decent variety of authentic dishes to choose from. Bacalar was also great, the water was beautiful and we had plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves. The entire excursion was very well organized and our time was managed well. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Costa Maya.

The tour guide and driver...

The tour guide and driver went above and beyond. While we were waiting for the other party to show up at the van, they actually took us to a location near the port we wanted to visit just to make sure we wouldn’t miss it. They provided beer and tequila shots at no extra charge and stopped and got us honey pineapple to try. We will ALWAYS use this company for our tour needs if they offer it.

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.

Costa Maya Shore Excursion: Chacchoben Day Trip

Helen_T, Apr 2026

A quick visit

The meet up location is easy to find if you follow directions. The ride out, the tour guide was very detailed about the history behind the temple and the culture of the Mayans. Although you don’t get to spend a great time at the destination, that’s because your boat is leaving at 12:30. They are very conscientious about getting you back to the boat in time.

Ancient Chacchoben Mayan Ruins & Mayan Experience from Costa Maya

Jen_J, Mar 2026

Thumbs Up for Native Choice Tours & Edder

We had a fantastic day with Edder and leaves so much about the Mayan culture. After a slightly delayed start due to a large group that didn't want to split up on two buses, we drive to Chacchoben and had an amazing tour. We then visited the village for a tasty Mayan lunch. Everything about the tour was top notch. We highly recommend Native Choice Tours That being said, I will never book with Viator again. We added two friends to our booking and paid in advance. When we arrived they were not on the list and the tour was full. Viator customer service did nothing to help us. Thankfully, the tour operator has two no shows and they were able to join and had to pay AGAIN. Eight thumbs down for Viator.

Mahahual Snorkeling Adventure: Turtle Encounter

Harry_R, Feb 2026

Superb snorkel trip with reefs and turtle sightings

We found the location easily and had a very warm welcome. After a short boat ride and safety briefing we entered the water . The guides were very friendly and competent. They lead us to various coral reefs with lots of different species of fish . The highlight was seeing two turtles feeding . Without their experience we would never have seen them . We were in the sea for an hour and after returning they had facilities to shower . An excellent trip overall and great value for money .
