Our verdict
This tour fits a typical Costa Maya call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 5 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:35 am and be back at the gangway around 1:50 pm — 1 h 40 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 2:50 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
We don't have a verified start point for this tour yet, so we assume 15 min each way from the pier — the typical ride in Costa Maya. Check the meeting point on the booking page.
