Costa Maya Mexico Cruise Port Guide - Bacalar Lagoon, Cenote Azul & What to Do
Costa Maya Mexico is one of the most talked-about cruise ports in the Western Caribbean, but is it actually worth getting off the ship? In this video, we show you exactly what a full port day in Costa Maya looks like, including a real excursion to Bacalar’s famous Seven Colors Lagoon, a visit to Cenote Azul, and lunch at a local restaurant. We start inside the Costa Maya cruise port, walking through what there is to do if you decide not to book an excursion. From the large pool with a swim-up bar, to shopping, restaurants, and unique experiences like the aviary and wildlife, we show you what to expect right off the ship. Then we head out beyond the port to explore Costa Maya the way most travelers don’t. Our excursion takes us to Cenote Azul, one of the deepest cenotes in the region, where we show you what it actually looks like and what you need to know before visiting, including important tips about sunscreen rules and what to bring. Next, we head to Bacalar Lagoon, also known as the Lagoon of Seven Colors. We break down what makes this place so unique, what it’s like in real life, and an important tip about visiting on Wednesdays when boat access is restricted. If you’re planning a Costa Maya excursion, this is something you need to know ahead of time. We wrap up the day with authentic tacos at a local restaurant, El Taco Loco, before heading back to the cruise port to give our honest thoughts on Costa Maya as a cruise destination. If you’re planning a cruise that stops in Costa Maya, this guide will help you decide whether to stay in the port, book an excursion, or explore on your own.
