Fun Day with the bres - We had a lovely and informative visit on this outing. Our guide at the bee farm was passionate about the natural world, the Mayan culture and the future of the bee farm. Who know there were stingless bees?? Everyone was so hospitable especially the guide, Diego, who brought us there

Charlie was an excellent... - Charlie was an excellent tour guide - the best! We appreciated his flexibility and his vast knowledge of the area and its history. Tierra Maya was an great experience. Each of the four stations taught us something new. Learning about and seeing the Meliponini bees and sampling the honey were a highlight. He taught us enough to know that we need to come back to Cozumel for another visit! We packed a lot into our half day tour and it was wonderful - Cenote (with crocodile), chocolate, east coast beaches and more.

Hidden Gem of Cozumel - a must visit! - I cannot rate this excursion highly enough, it was that good! The guide we had from our cruise (DCL) coupled with the guide at the farm (Noemi), were the highlights of our trip. Our kids had a blast, including a 14 year old (can you imagine!) - he loved it, especially all the food! We were truly honored to have had this experience and welcomed so warmly, by Noemi and Ms Martha. She prepared for us fresh tamales, as well as hot chocolate. We made our own dip (delicious!) and our own candles from the beeswax. And of course, lots and lots of honey to try! Do not skip this, it is a hidden gem!!

Amazing A++++ - Felipe was an amazing and knowledgeable guide showed us the island it was a special time, highly recommended . He went out of his way to help lift my daughters wheelchair in and out of the van multiple times just to make sure we had a good experience.

Don't MISS the magical Bee Sancutary! - Amazing! Such a wonderful experience. Our guide was fantastic and it really felt like we were contributing to the local economy. Mrs. Martha started her sanctuary before she began doing tours, unlike other locations that simply started as a way to attract tourists. Trust us, come for the honey but stay for the handmade tamales and incredibly warmth and generosity fo the staff.

Great bee adventure. - Great outdoor nature setting. Learned about bees and honey, with honey tasting. Learned about orchids and vanilla, with vanilla tasting. Made our own salsa and tasted different chilies. Made a chocolate paste and learned about chocolate. Were served homemade tamales and Mexican Coca Cola. Small shop with honey, vanilla, soaps, and bee themed gifts. Loved the whole experience.
