plasticmaster Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 My cruise this April will be visiting Costa Maya and Cozumel. My family and I would like to tour some Mayan ruins. I'm looking for recommendations for a good tour either through Royal Caribbean or with an outside tour. I see where Royal offers one from Cozumel that involves a long ferry boat ride and even longer bus ride. I'd like to avoid that one. Thanks.

Ryan79 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 All of the good ones will involve a ferry ride. There are ruins on the island, but not very impressive. Chi hen Itza is by far the farthest, but by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ferry is for Cozumel - Chichen Itza is an option but involved a 3 hr trip each way. Costa Maya has very good ruins close to the port. I use a local company called Native choice.

JennaRCB Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I would go to Chacchoben ruins in Costa Maya and make Cozumel a beach day. I visited the Tulum ruins when I was in Cozumel, but I thought the ferry ride over was terrible (many people were puking). The ruins in Costa Maya just require a 1 hour bus ride each way and are still really impressive!

Wow good to know that this is your recommendation because thats what I came up with prior to seeing this I am planning on using the native choice for the tour of the ruins - how much would you recommend to spend at the ruins and tips for the staff for this tour?
