Experience on Chacchoben Mayan Ruins and Laguna Bacalar tour from Costa Maya - We had the opportunity to take the excursion of the lagoon bacalar with Mr. Andrés and it should be noted that it was a super good experience, the treatment was incredible and both Andrés and the person who did not give the boat tour are very attentive and have a lot of knowledge about Mayan coast. The service was excellent and we really enjoyed our time during the excursion. I recommend it 100% are humble and trustworthy people. When we return in the future I am sure we will take a trip with Mr Andrew again.

Wonderful! - Amazing experience! Our guide Mau, was wonderful, we could not have asked for a better experience. They thought of everything. We had snacks and drinks, fresh local pineapple. Worth every penny! It was so nice being in our own private group.

Amazing Trip to the Ruins and Bacalar Lagoon! - This was an amazing tour! Everything was planned out perfectly and the guide and owner were exceptional. It was the perfect amount of exploration in the ruins and pure Mexico when hanging out in the Lagoon. Both are places you wouldn't want to miss in Costa Maya. Our favorite part was lunch in Bacalar, which was away from the crowds and very private. The drinks were delicious and we enjoyed just taking in the views. Highly recommend and our favorite trip throughout all the stops on our cruise.

All in all, I’m really happy we did this tour, and I would highly recommend it to everyone! - Our tour in Bacalar with this company was amazing! Our guide told us everything about the lake, the lagoons, and even during the drive to Bacalar, he shared interesting facts about the nature and villages we passed through. This made the experience not only beautiful but also very informative. Throughout the tour, we had several opportunities to swim in the stunning crystal-clear water, which made the experience even more special. The tour ended at a private beach with a beach club, where we could go kayaking and enjoy a delicious lunch with two tasty cocktails. Throughout the entire tour, you could drink unlimited Coronas and water for free, and they even had local chips! All in all, I’m really happy we did this tour, and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Nice but poor timing - Started 50 min late because we had to wait for 3 more people in our group, which was annoying and put us late back to the ship. Guide was very good and Chacchoben guide was excellent. Longer trip, about an hour to Chacchoben. Then about 30 min dive to the lake. Nice boat tour of the lake, drinks and lunch. They took us to a nice swimming spot on the lake after a view of the cenote, then to the other side to see some birds. Had some beers and pineapple. Lake was gorgeous, much nicer to see by boat than stay at the lake beach. Then back to lake beach for tacos and more beer/drinks. Then back to ship, about an hour. Unfortunately we were late to the boat and that put a damper on the day b/c we were stressed getting back as the boat hands were preparing the gangway for leaving. Overall nice, but next time I will book a private tour so we are not forced to wait for people who are late and then screw up the timing for the whole day. Also this tour was very expensive compared to others, but I was ok with that.

Terrible - We spent over an hour walking around outside the cruise port only to find out that our tour had been cancelled. We had to contact Viator to find out about the cancellation.
