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.
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.
