Costa Maya Shore Excursions Entice and Excite

When you cruise to Costa Maya, booking Costa Maya shore excursions affords you cultural, sport, nature, and relaxation opportunities unlike any others in Mexico.

Costa Maya’s location on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula ensures an abundance of natural beauty that includes soft sand beaches, clear blue Caribbean waters, and lush tropical jungle. Costa Maya cruise excursions show off the best of the island’s natural beauty with adventures like snorkeling, sailing, fly-fishing, jungle treks, and of course, basking on beaches.

Some of the most exciting and popular Costa Maya shore excursions offer day-long opportunities to travel deep into the Yucatan jungle to explore the ancient ruins of the cities of Dzibanche and Kohunlich, the two most important Mayan sites in Mexico.

Costa Maya shore excursions that let you swim with bottlenose dolphins and learn all about these highly intelligent animals from a marine mammal specialist are a fun family option, especially when combined with beach time or a glass-bottom boat tour.

If you’re looking for active adventures, go on a shore excursion to an aerial adventure park, where you can fly across two zipline courses above a jungle canopy, work through a challenging ropes course, and make your way over a suspension bridge. Or you can splash around a waterpark that boasts 12 waterslides, including one that’s enclosed and has a 90-degree drop. Experience the rugged terrain of the Mexican jungle on a fast and furious off-road escapade that ends with a refreshing swim in the clear blue sea.

For the very adventurous, experience an excursion in the great outdoors that combines paddleboarding, swimming, and biking and ends with a chance to relax on a sunny, white-sand beach and work on your tan.

Whether you’re a would-be first-time scuba diver or a seasoned, certified pro, you can experience diving at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef system in the Northern Hemisphere.  

Swim among vibrant coral reefs and colorful tropical fish like Parrotfish, angelfish, and eagle rays on snorkeling excursions to spectacular reefs that were once reserved for only the most experienced divers.

Enjoy another opportunity to snorkel, this time in an akua (snorkel bay) after a holistic wellness retreat at a Mayan spa, where you’ll soak in a Mayan bath, relax in a Mayan sweat lodge (sauna), indulge in a clay ritual, refresh in a coconut bath, and enjoy a relaxing mystical hammock massage.
