Costa Maya

Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan including Chacchoben and Kohunlich. These sites are substantially less excavated than the better known pyramids near Cancun. The Mexican government is trying to improve the standard of living for the Indian population. The path chosen to do this in the Costa Maya area is to develop small-scale ecological based tourism destinations, including natural reserve parks.

The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

Atv Explorer and Beach
Tour Code: CMA-5299
Duration: 3 1/2 hours
Price: Free

Experience Mexico's rugged and picturesque coast in an exhilarating new way during this off-road expedition and beach break in Costa Maya.

After receiving your safety briefing, driving instructions, helmet and goggles, you will depart the pier in an automatic all-terrain vehicle for the drive to the wild and rugged jungle. Upon arrival, your guide will provide you with a safety briefing, off-road vehicle instructions, and helmets and goggles. Your guide will then lead you on the ride through the jungle where you will see exotic flora and fauna.

Next, you will exit the jungle for a scenic ride through Mexico's diverse topography, and along the Caribbean coast. You will then follow the spectacular blue-green waters to Explora Beach, where some time will be made available for you to lie in the white sand, take a refreshing dip in the sea, or explore the beach.

Following your visit, you will re-board your all-terrain vehicle for the return drive to the pier.
