In Costa Maya, Mexico, visitors can enjoy a vibrant mix of cultural discovery, outdoor adventure, and tropical relaxation all within close reach of the cruise port. Begin your day by exploring the fascinating ancient Mayan ruins of Chacchoben or Kohunlich, where guided tours walk you through towering pyramids and jungle-covered temples rich in history and mystery. If you're craving adventure, try zip-lining over the jungle, driving an ATV through rugged trails, or visiting Mayá, The Lost Mayan Kingdom—a water park with slides, lazy rivers, and zip-lines styled after Mayan architecture. Nature lovers can head to the Aviarius, a suspended aviary walk showcasing colorful tropical birds, or book a snorkeling or scuba diving excursion along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef in the world. For a slower pace, catch a quick shuttle or taxi to the beach town of Mahahual, where you’ll find calm, crystal-clear waters, open-air seafood restaurants, local shops, and beachfront loungers perfect for relaxing under a palm tree. There, you can rent snorkel gear, try paddleboarding, or just enjoy a beach massage with a cold drink in hand. Back at the cruise terminal, the port itself offers plenty to do—swim in the massive saltwater pool, sample Mexican tequila, enjoy folkloric dance shows, or browse stalls selling handmade crafts, textiles, and chocolate. Whether you prefer history, nature, water sports, family fun, or simply lounging in the sun, Costa Maya offers a full day of unforgettable activities for every type of traveler.
