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 8:28 am and be back at the gangway around 1:36 pm — 1 h 54 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 2:36 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The meeting point is at the cruise pier or a short walk from it — the operator's own directions are written from Puerta Costa Maya (Costa Maya cruise pier). We allow 8 min to walk off and find them; usually no taxi and no transfer eating into your day.
Among the 226 Costa Maya shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 5 h); 88% of them fit a typical call.
