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 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 1:40 pm — 1 h 50 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 2:40 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Puerta Costa Maya (Costa Maya cruise pier).

Among the 100 Costa Maya shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 5 h); 93% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Costa Maya call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
