From the moment you step off your cruise ship at the Port of Costa Maya, the adventure begins. Just beyond the terminal, the colorful seaside village of Mahahual welcomes you with its laid-back Caribbean charm — a small coastal town that bursts with life whenever cruise ships arrive.

After meeting your team at the local office, you’ll receive a warm welcome and kick off your day in true island style with a refreshing complimentary drink. As you relax and soak in the tropical atmosphere, your professional driver and knowledgeable guide will prepare your comfortable transportation for the journey ahead.

Soon, your adventure continues with a scenic 50 minute drive through the lush jungles of Costa Maya. As the coastline fades behind you, the road leads deep into the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, where ancient history waits hidden among towering trees and tropical wildlife.

Your destination is the magnificent Chacchoben Mayan Ruins — one of the most important and fascinating Mayan cities in the region. Surrounded by dense jungle, these impressive temples rise dramatically above the forest floor, standing as powerful reminders of a once-thriving civilization. As you explore the ancient pathways and plazas, your expert guide will bring the ruins to life with captivating stories about the Maya people, their traditions, beliefs, and extraordinary achievements.

After uncovering the secrets of this remarkable archaeological treasure, it’s time to trade jungle adventures for a relaxing Caribbean escape.

Your journey continues back to the shores of Mahahual, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and soft white sands create the perfect setting for the next part of your day.

Here you’ll arrive at the laid-back beachfront oasis of Maramao Beach Club. With the sound of gentle waves and the warm Caribbean breeze surrounding you, it’s the perfect place to unwind after your jungle exploration.

Settle into comfortable lounge chairs just steps from the sea and savor a delicious meal from authentic Mexican cuisine. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, bask in the tropical sunshine, or simply relax with a drink in hand as you enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the beach.

When your beach escape comes to an end, the staff will assist you in arranging a taxi back to the cruise port. Best of all, the taxi fare is covered by the vendor, making your return smooth, simple, and worry-free — the perfect ending to an unforgettable Costa Maya adventure.
