Calm pace, stunning scenery, and no stress getting back before departure. - We were on Harmony of the Seas and decided to book local instead of the cruise-line tours — such a smart decision. Marco met us at the Costa Maya port and the tour started smoothly. Exploring the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins was fascinating, but the pontoon ride on Bacalar Lagoon was the real highlight — so peaceful and beautiful. We even stopped at Papitos Marina for a quick snack. Calm pace, stunning scenery, and no stress getting back before departure.

Memories forever - Our family came in on Norwegian Encore and wanted something unique. This tour was excellent! Carlos shared fun stories about the Mayans at Chacchoben and then the boat ride in Bacalar was simply stunning — calm water and every shade of blue. Small group, comfortable transportation, and a relaxed pace made this a highlight of our Costa Maya stop.
