    This was an amazing experience in Costa Maya. We had a group of six that visited the all inclusive beach and we all raved about how much fun this was. Our taxi was easy to find about 2 blocks outside of the port and they had a whiteboard with my name on it so I knew exactly who to look for. We then took a comfortable air conditioned ride to the beach. The ride was about 30 minutes, but did not seem that long as we took in the scenery. Upon arrival we were met by our hosts and led to the beach area that is quiet and serene. One other group was there but there was ample space for everyone. We then walked along the beach, swam in the water, and just lounged around for hours. Fresh made guacamole with chips, the best ceviche we have ever had and chicken and beef tacos were included along with all of our drinks. Everything tasted great and our service staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. When it was time to leave, our taxi was there on time and got us back to port in plenty of time. Upon arriving back into to the crowded cruise port where 2 mega ships had docked in addition to our smaller ship, there was no breeze and it was extremely congested, we knew we had made the right decision for the day! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet comfortable day away from the crowded port of Costa Maya.

    I cannot speak highly enough about this company. I would absolutely book this again.

    I made a really dumb mistake and booked the wrong date for our excursion (we were coming from the cruise port) but they immediately took action and made room for us.

    From start to finish we felt well looked after. Water bottles right when we arrived, comfortable transportation, and a beautiful trip to Bacalar. The lunch was absolutely delicious: ceviche, burritos, street tacos, chips and guacamole, etc,

    Selena + Saul (Chucky) were our guides and they were amazing! They were kind, caring and we learned so much from them. Thank you both for taking such good care of us.

    They were very welcoming and accommodating. The visit was rushed due to our ship getting in at 12:30. Finding Catrina restaurant was a pain- everyone we asked was trying to get us to come to their restaurant. Make sure you have a morning docking time before booking this. We had one drink, lunch, and a massage (which was awesome), then we had to catch a cab back before we missed gangway time. Lots of people trying to sell us something. Even cigars. Ugh. The owners were very sweet.

Our guide, David, was VERY knowledgeable at the Ruins. Told us very neat facts and made you feel like you were almost back in time. After the ruins, we went to a resort. 17 of us total at the entire resort!! Food & drinks were tasty and the views were MAGICAL!! This couldn’t have went any better!!

    We booked the Chacchoben Mayan Ruin Tour excursion through Norwegian. We had an awesome experience. Its about an hour drive there and an hour drive back. But the bus was air conditioned. And our guide, Even Roberto, did a great job the whole ride there with the Mayan history. He was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. He was with us from the time we boarded the bus until the time we got back to the Cruise Port. The ruins are a must see if you have not seen them. We caught it just right in one of the picture I added. the sun was perfectly lined up over the pyramid.

    So, the tour requires alot of walking and climbing. It is hot in the sun, but there is plenty of shade and a cool breeze. The tour did provide us with cold water. And there is cold water, snacks and souvenirs available for purchase at a reasonable price at the ruins. We even saw several Spider Monkeys in the trees.

Jhoana our host was especially friendly and told us all about the area and was kind enough to pack a loaded cooler full of water, soda and beer. She also made fresh quacamole for the group!

    The ruins tour was very well done and very interesting!!
    The private beach with lunch at the Bacalar Lagoon was beyond amazing! I could never have imagined such a beautiful place. We had a wonderful day! This was the best excursion on our 7 day cruise and it was not offered through our Royal Caribbean cruise. SUPERB!

    We visited for the day while on a cruise. It was super laid back, not crowded at all. So relaxing! Comfy chairs and wonderful service. Highly recommend! The staff was super attentive, especially Digby and Chucho! 5+ Stars

    The guacamole and ceviche instruction were good. We had plenty to eat and the presentation was interesting. The massage was very nice! The pool part was lacking as the pool area was very antiquated and not inviting at all. The workers were very attentive and service was great.

    Excellent guide, beautiful day; unfortunately, we only caught one fish. However, it was large fish, so we all enjoyed the best fish tacos I've ever had.
    My sons and I enjoyed our time with Nick. It was the highlight of our trip to Costa Maya!

    The swimming was absolutely amazing!!! Bryan was so knowledgeable and accommodating to everything we wanted to do. The whole family had a great time. Only down fall is it’s about an hour and 20 min drive from cruise port however the kids napped and it worked out amazing!
