This tour was the highlight of our Costa Maya stop. The lagoon was gorgeous, and the water colors were stunning. We had a nice time cruising around and learning about the area from our friendly guide. The cenote swim was a nice break and a unique experience. The lunch afterward was tasty and authentic. The transportation was smooth, and we didn’t have to worry about getting back to the ship. Would definitely do this again!

Terrible. We were stood up by the tour operator who never showed up to take us on the tour and the customer service from viator was no help at all even after submitting extensive documentation that proved we were at the correct pick up location. This was my first and last time ever booking through viator.
Hi Russ_J, We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you choosing us during your vacation in beautiful Costa Maya, in the Mexican Caribbean. We understand your frustration. However, after carefully reviewing the situation, our records show that the tour departed on time as scheduled. Unfortunately, you arrived at the meeting point more than 2 hours after the scheduled departure time, which is why no staff was present when you got there. Out of respect for the rest of the guests and to ensure a smooth, safe return to port for all cruise passengers, we must follow a strict schedule. For this reason, we’re unable to offer a refund in cases of late arrival. We truly regret any disappointment this caused and hope you’re still able to enjoy the rest of your time in the Caribbean. Best regards, Next Experience Travel Team
