Overview

Two of our favorite places in a single day. As soon as your cruise ship arrives at Costa Maya Port, travel through history from the Mayans to the pirates, just one hour away from Costa Maya Cruise Port. Start your adventure in one of the least explored archeological sites in the Maya Zone that date back to 200 BC. and let yourself be surprised by the incredible monuments, flora, and fauna that the jungle has to offer you. After visiting the jungle and the Mayan city of Chacchoben, we will go to the Bacalar lagoon, a famous haven for pirates, where you can relax, swim or enjoy a kayak ride in the refreshing waters of the seven-color lagoon. Take a short break eating some delicious fajitas with your favorite drink at the edge of the lagoon or just enjoy the breeze and incredible landscape. We recommend this tour if you visit Costa Maya for the first time.

Amazing Excursion

Published on Jun, 2024

Tour guide was very informational & fun. Accommodated our 12 person group with a bus that was Air conditioned. The ruins were amazing to see and the tour guide had so much info about it. Then we went to the Lagoon were free tacos and drinks were served(absolutely delicious!!!!!) Kayaks were a great perk of the lagoon, as you could ride for free. Beautiful lagoon. We all had a blast, I’d recommend to anyone!

BEST TRIP EVER

Great experience

Published on Feb, 2024

Edder and Ramon were great showing us around and informing us about the ruins. Additionally, the private area of the lagoon is great. They have great food, service, cayaks and paddle boards you can use for no additional cost.
