Costa Maya, snorkeling on the reef with fish, looking for turtles

Danielle_E, Jun 2026

Great Snorkel Experience

We booked this a day before our cruise was at the port and the team was really accommodating. The snorkeling experience was really fun and worth the price. We saw lots of pretty coral and colorful fish but unfortunately no rays or turtles. The gopro pictures were really cool and a great addition! The crew was very responsive through whatsapp and the team was attentive in the water. It’s a small boat so if you get seasick it’s worth taking some medication before you go. After snorkeling we went to the Mariachi Loco beach club which included beach chairs for free and had good value massages. The food was good but super overpriced, you could definitely find better value somewhere else. They got us a taxi back to the port for $5 a person. Overall the snorkeling tour was awesome, and it’s worth walking around the beach area to see what’s around but then head back to the ship.

Prettiest of Blue Waters

This was a very chill excursion for us. We had our guide show us the main points of the ruins so we were there for only about 45 to 50 minutes because we wanted more time at the lagoon. Then we headed to the Bacalar Lagoon. The food at the lake was AMAZING, AUTHENTIC and FRESH. (except for the chips, they joked they were from Costco😄). We had tacos and drinks here and played in the water. The water here is beautiful. My pictures do not do it justice. It's very clean and a see through blue. You can kayak here or just jump from their pier. It's definitely something to see!

Book this Beach Club!

Amazing time at this beach club! Was easy to get a taxi, only $5 per person which Gio will get you about the day before you arrive! We were provided amazing service and an amazing experience snorkeling from our Guide Jesus who made should we were good in the water and let us go see really amazing things like tropical fish, coral formations, and even a turtle! We ate tacos with fajitas which I thought were delicious! Also we were provided a very good list of open bar drinks that we were allowed, I had a great Pina Coloda and my parter had a good bit of beers! And the massage was perfect, very relaxing and the girls made sure to get very part of you, my advice is just take in the local sounds of Mexico and enjoy your vacation! Gio and the other woman were so friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. I would wholeheartedly book this experience again! I’m so glad I went out of my comfort zone and booked an excursion without the cruise line because it ended up being one of the best ones and not stressful at all!

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!

A great experience that is full of history and culture!

This was an amazing experience! Javier and Rosie were the perfect tour guides. Javier transported us safely and kept us fully hydrated throughout the trip. Rosie made us feel like we were friends of the family. She was very knowledgeable and extremely proud of her culture. It was a pleasure to have her guide us on this excursion. If you want the opportunity to have a cultural and historical experience, this is definitely the excursion. A very memorable experience that we will not forget.

Great tour to give you the best of local history and fun activity

This is a great tour that gives you a chance to learn about and see parts of ancient culture, while also giving you the opportunity for swimming and kayaking in a pristine lagoon!

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.

Perfect day!

Absolutely amazing experience! Gorgeous lagoon views and our guide Adan was amazing. We got fruit and beer/snacks/water on board. It was very choppy but still a smooth pontoon ride. Our driver man he was amazing and kept us safe. Our boat driver and his daughter were awesome navigators. Excellent family day!

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.
