Amazing Experience with Jhoana - We did a private tour for 4 and had the best experience. The Mayan ruins private tour was a plus that we were not expecting. We learned a lot during the tour and Jhoana showed us photos during the drive there which made it go much quicker. After the ruins we went to the Bacalar Lagoon, had an amazing lunch, and got to get in the water. The lagoon is beautiful, and we are so grateful for Jhoana for making this a great experience.

Recommended tour - We really enjoyed the excursion. The ruins were in a really lovely area and the guide there, Alma, was very informative. The lagoon was very beautiful and a nice swimming spot. We enjoyed the light lunch. Our guide, Jhoana, was excellent as was the driver, Ricardo.
Our important criticism. We went to the meeting location but no one was there. We doubled back a few blocks and were lucky to find Jhoana along the street holding a sign with our names. We had not seen her earlier when we were walking to the meeting point. The other group on the tour had a similar experience. This is unacceptable! There needs to be clear communication between Viator and the guides as to where to meet participants.

Unforgettable Costa Maya Adventure: Ruins, Relaxation, and Delicious Tacos! - We had an absolutely unforgettable day in Costa Maya with Ivan as our guide! Our adventure began with a fascinating visit to the Chacchoben Mayan ruins, where an official park guide shared captivating insights into the history and culture of the site. Next, we headed to the breathtaking Bacalar Lagoon for a serene pontoon boat ride. The crystal-clear waters were perfect for swimming, and the experience was made even more special when Ivan surprised us with a fresh pineapple he had picked up—it was such a thoughtful and delicious treat. To end the day on a high note, we enjoyed a light yet flavorful taco meal at Pappasito’s. This private tour exceeded all expectations, and our family can’t recommend it highly enough!

Enough time to experience both activities - This was a great way to do multiple activities for our first trip to Costa Maya. The ruins were interesting and 1.5 hours is more than enough time to see them without the teens getting bored. The boat was great, the lagoon was beautiful and the lunch that was provided was very tasty. Our guide was accommodating and seemed to really want us all to have a great time.

Too much for one excursion - They tried to fit too much into this tour, so it all felt rushed. Part of that was because the booking wasn't clear about what time to meet outside the port, so we ended up later than they preferred. But even if we'd had another half hour for the tour, it just felt like there was too much squeezed into this excursion--and too much time on the road. The ruins were great, but we would've loved another 30-45 minutes there to see everything and learn a bit more. Then the lake--it's nice, but not amazing--feels like a fun place for locals to go enjoy a day at the lake, but not spectacular for tourism (plus when we were there the weather wasn't great). And because we were low on time, we ended up having our food in to-go containers, which we then ate on the bus, which wasn't great. If we were stopping at this port again in the future, we would find a tour that is ruins only, and then we would take our time and enjoy time in the port shopping area before re-boarding our ship.
