One Day Tour to Chacchoben Mayan City and Bacalar Lagoon with a Certified Guide

Erick was amazing and personable and full of so much fascinating information about the area, the Mayans and the ruins. Getting to the company is a small trek, but their instructions are spot on and I was able to find it easily enough. The ride to the ruins was in a comfortable and air conditioned van. They passed out plenty of water bottles for us to enjoy and cool down with as it was a really hot and humid day. After learning about the ruins, we’d all get a chance to explore and take pictures before moving on. After Chacchoben, we traveled to the Lagoon area for a light lunch of tacos and drinks. It was absolutely beautiful, but I would recommend water shoes as there was no soft sand but gravel and the man made lagoon was rocky as well. I really enjoyed kayaking around the lagoon. Just wish we’d had a little more time there. This was a great tour and the staff were always on hand with a friendly smile. Highly recommend

We had an AMAZING experience at the Chacchoben ruins. Our guide Joel was from the company Native Choice, and he was incredible - a native to Costa Maya who had a history degree and grew up around these ruins. We learned so much and had the best time. I can’t recommend this enough - but remember to ask for Joel as your guide!

Very worthwhile excursion! Guide was knowledgeable and the lagoon resort was enjoyable. Learned a great deal about past civilizations.

We were treated great. Our guides were perfect gentlemen might drive a little crazy but fun was had by all

Joel was an amazing guide and storyteller. We loved learning about his culture. The ruins were awesome, and lunch was so delicious. This was a really fun day in Costa Maya!

Loved supporting local and seeing how locals live on the drive to the resort! Erick was super knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The bus we were on was super nice and very comfortable. We loved seeing the ruins but we really loved the little resort, with amazing food and service. Definitely the highlight of our whole trip.

Bacalar Lagoon was a great time. Mayan ruins were good to see but had very little time there. Our guide, Edder was great as well.

Joel and Miguel were great tour guides. They provide great information about the Costa Maya area and the Mayan culture. We enjoyed seeing all the different sites at Chacchoben. The Lagoon was very relaxing and would return again on another trip. Overall we highly recommend this excursion!

Miguel and Joel did a wonderful job! They are excellent, friendly, passionate people! These tours make it worth my while when you have someone passionate for the culture and areas!

Wonderful trip! Lunch was delicious! We had a great time. Note: it's hard to get out of the Costa Maya cruise shopping area. Give yourself extra time in case you get lost in there. Once you're outside it's only a 2 block walk.
