    Wow. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Our tour guide was so awesome, so friendly, so knowledgeable and made our trip one that we will never forget. If you’re considering doing this trip , don’t walk RUN! We had delicious fresh fruit, alcohol, so many snacks, an awesome lunch afterwards and they were just so much fun to be around. I seriously can’t thank them enough for the amazing time!!! You guys are awesome !

    Great Experience, wonderful location
    We just returned from a cruise where we did this shore excursion in Costa Maya. We had a great time and our tour guide, Sofia, was very attentive and informative. The timing was perfect and we made it back to our cruise ship with over an hour to spare. Would recommend this experience for anyone visiting this port. Even though it is a bit far to travel, the lake is beautiful and very enjoyable to swim. The beaches near the port are not very appealing.

    Excellent Trip from Cruise Port
    We had a fantastic time, there were 10 adults and 2 toddlers and we were well taken care of from pick up to drop off of our cruise. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to make the trip to Bacalar from Costa Maya

    Wonderful tour
    We are a party of 15 (age ranges from 16 to 80+) and chose this tour mainly because it is a private tour and can accommodate our big family at our pace. We were greeted warmly by the staff at the pick up point, especially by our driver, Saul and our guide, Judith. The weather was fluctuating between heavy rain and sunny and humid, Judith and Saul ensured we stay cool and hydrated the entire time. Both are very attentive, kind and patience, especially with helping the elderly getting on and off the van. Judith is an excellent history teacher providing plenty of interesting Mayan history. We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent together. Saul and Judith also gladly dropped us off at a local restaurant for lunch upon request and ensured our bill was calculated correctly. They took good care of us and we had a fantastic time.

    Perfect day for cruisers
    Tino was our guide and he was fabulous! Our driver Andrea always made us feel safe and we had a nice new van to ride inside. We stopped for some fresh fruit and then drove to Bacalar! We would love to come back one day and stay longer. Bacalar was beautiful and the water was so refreshing and clear! After our water time we went for fresh tacos! We made it back to our cruise ship with an hour or so to spare to shop around. I recommend Tino as he was constantly asking us if we had everything we needed at all times- very attentive . Very easy to talk to via Whats app too!

    Very fun guide, beautiful lagoon
    Our guide Tino made this tour. He was highly entertaining as well as knowledgeable on the culture and area. The lagoon is pretty, you get unlimited drinks/ beers, delicious fruit and the taco dinner at the end is tasty. It is a bit of a drive (1:15 each way) and I believe this is overpriced vs most other island tours, but for Costa Maya there are not a lot of options and this seems to be one of the best. The lagoon is fresh water so you will not experience sea life here.

    Bacalar Lagoon PARTY
    HIGHLIGHT OF MY ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE!! Oh my gosh I loved loved Costa Maya Bacalar Lagoon. Our guide’s name was Tino and he was absolutely INCREDIBLE and FUN!! He kept our cups full and took these awesome photos!! I wish I could give it 10 stars!! It was so much fun and we got unlimited drinks, snacks, and 4 tacos. It was a long hour and 15 min drive to the boat but so worth it- I will do that every-time in Costa Maya from now on!! Worth EVERY penny!!

    Fantastic!!
    We booked a tour while in port for a cruise and were very happy with everything. Our tour was extra private as we were the only ones riding in the vehicle. Saul was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He actually grew up and lives right near the site so his knowledge of the ruins and the area had a more personal touch. He made our day even more special when he stopped by a small fruit stand on the way back home and bought us fresh pineapple as an anniversary gift. I cannot more highly recommend Chac Ek and Saul as a tour guide.

    Best Port excursion
    My favorite excursion of all the ports. There were 9 of us ranging from 55 to 14 years old, and we all loved it. Our tour guide Judith was excellent, gave us tons of information and made sure we were enjoying it at all times. Our driver Saul was also fantastic. And the place is gorgeous, the lagoon is just breath taking and Cenote was really interesting. It is about an hour and 15 min from the port but Judith and Saul made it fun. After the lagoon they took us to lunch to their BEST tacos I would go back just for that lunch. I would go back any time.

    Incredible experience! Perfect for families!
    We went on a guided trip last week with Chac Ek and have zero regrets! Leo was our tour guide. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the whole area not just Bacalar. We had 9 people in our group(4 adults, 3 teens,2 kids) Everything went smooth. We felt 💯 safe and comfortable while traveling with Leo. He made sure we had plenty of snacks drinks and our lunch was incredible! I felt the need to hug him at the end of our day! Leo we hope to see you again and we hope your dog liked the tacos!! Thank you again!!

    Best part of our vacation
    This was the highlight of our vacation. From the moment we met Tino the trip/experience was wonderful. We got on the van greeted with a cold bottle of water and on the drive took our order and explained all the fun. We stopped at a local market he got us pineapple 🍍 and dragon fruit. The boat ride was great We jumped in the clear water with hands down the best pineapple drink on the island. After our water experience we went to a local taco shop all sat and ate. It was delicious! Only 4 of us in our group. Much better then a large crowd like the ship offered. Tino- you are wonderful. The few hours we spent with you were the highlight of our trip. You are such a kind person and made the experience amazing. Thank you

We visited costa maya on a cruise stop last month and decided to support a smaller owned family business, rather than go with the large tour groups that were double the cost. And we are so beyond happy with our decision. Carolina was informative, personable and inspirational. I would 100% take this tour again if I visit Costa maya again. Definitely book with this tour for an amazing and authentic experience in Mexico!!!

Absolutely love it! Chac Ek Costa Maya nailed it with this one.

We had about 5 ppl total in our group, 3 from our group and 2 from another group, who also were from our ship. Our guide was Leo and our driver was Andres (Perro) lol.
After about a 15 min walk through the port we found the Chac Ek location. We were greeted with a much needed ice cold water, which was consider a luxury at the time since they was a current ice shortage. Everyone booked for the day arrived early so we were able to get a good head start on the rest of the groups from other companies.
One the ride, we were provided with snacks and a wealth of information from Leo regarding the local area and Mayan history. Us being huge fans of history we asked Leo a bunch of questions regarding Mayan history and he had the answer for every one!
After about a 45 min ride, we were the first group to arrive to Chacchoben. We were able to get a ton of great pictures without the crowds and people in the background. Leo provided us with some more great information about the site and even took us to a spot to see some spider monkeys!
Off to the lagoon! After having a few shots of tequila, we made our way to Bacalar Lagoon, where we had a pontoon boat waiting for us. More snacks, water and tequila were available. We stopped at two separate spots to swim, cool off and take some amazing pictures. The water is so clear and refreshing. It was nice to get a break from the the salt water.
The tacos were overall good and I enjoyed trying the different homemade sauces.
We finally left and made it back to the port with plenty of time to spare before All Aboard time.
I highly recommend Chac Ek for their customer service, wealth of knowledge, amenities and punctuality.

This is my second tour with Chac Ek and was once again incredible. We had Leo, and he was very informative and so much fun! You can tell he truly has a passion about Mayan history and Mexico. We were only in port for five hours and this tour is usually seven hours. Leo and our driver, Saul, still showed us everything and had the full experience.

Such a great experience from start to finish. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and trustworthy. You got to learn about the history of the towns, stop and pick up fresh pineapple and mango, experience bacalar lagoon which was beautiful even on a cloudy day and eat the most amazinggggg tacos. Our guide stopped at several places for photos that he took for us and sent them afterward. Oh and can’t forget the compliment beer and tequila. He got us back in plenty of time to walk around outside the port and make it back to the ship. Overall highly recommend booked with a smaller private company like this rather than through the cruise line.

This was the best experience we have had on a tour. The staff and guides are absolutely amazing. Safe, welcoming and completely focused on making our experience top notch. The groups are kept small and very flexible to adjustments on order or time spent at events. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Mayan culture and the area. His English was outstanding. Bacalar was beautiful and the water crystal clear. They provide snacks and drinks throughout the tour.

Our tour guide Leo was absolutely fantastic! He had the van, snacks, and drinks ready to go upon our arrival. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The Bacalar Lagoon was absolutely breathtaking so swimming there was truly special. Would love to return and spend more time in this freshwater paradise! Next stop were the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben. The Temples were magnificent all the more because of detailed information Leo imparted.

Best vacation ever! We booked a tour and were escorted by Saul and Carolina. They were extremely good at their jobs. Saul drove us everywhere we wanted to go and made sure we were comfortable and safe. Carolina was very knowledgeable and informative on all subjects related to Mahahual and Mexico. They provided snacks and beer and took us on a delightful boat ride to the lagoon. Since we were on a private tour, I think we were able to better enjoy the ruins. I even saw a few of the other tourists from another large crowd trying to get closer to hear what Carolina was saying as she explained all there is to know about the ruins. We truly enjoyed our time and wished it didn't have to end. I WILL definitely book with them on our next cruise to this island.

We booked this excursion privately online during our cruise that stopped at Costa Maya. We had great communication from Saul and Leo prior to the tour to answer any of our questions. They were cognizant of our ship’s departure time and got us back with time to leisurely walk back to the ship. We spent 40-50 minutes in the ruins, and the rest of the time was in bacalar. We stopped by a taco restaurant on the way with tons of regional salsa to try. We also had some local fruit that is only grown in Yucatán along the way back. I would book this excursion in a heartbeat, don’t get pressured into ship excursions.

Our experience was wonderful thanks to our guide Leo, our driver Baudelio aka Mike Wazowski & our boat operator Baltazar.

The communication ahead of the tour was great & made us feel more comfortable about using an independent tour company. The morning of the tour they were on time & exactly where they said they would be. (just beyond the port gates).

Leo was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the history of Chacchoben & Bacalar. We loved that were able to avoid being lumped in with the large tour bus groups from the ships & felt certain we received a much better tour. We even had time to stop for some delicious local tacos and some fresh pineapple (ananas) from a local fruit stand.

We highly recommend this tour & tour company. This team was professional & made sure our day was fantastic. We had a very full and perfectly planned day thanks to them.

*tip* spray with some bug spray as soon as your leave the ship - a lot of mosquitoes.

Excellent excursion from booking to arriving back at Port. We booked this excursion while on a cruise to Cozumel. The communication from the time of booking was excellent. Wonderful and friendly staff, comfortable transportation with good AC, and great communication. We loved every minute of this excursion from the ruins tour, the tasty lunch, and beautiful Lagoon tour amd stop at the pirate channel. Perfect day well spent. This is a must do tour. Very consciousness of time and arrived back to the port with plenty of time to be back in board. Loved this tour!
