Mayan archeological site, lunch and lagoon break! - Comfortable ride and ample time at the archeological site. Lunch was just tacos and chips but it was good and plentiful. Of the 4 sauces I really enjoyed the pineapple and the hot habanero. Relaxing lagoon break with kayaks and swimming. This location is owned by the owner of the tour company so was not crowded at all. Definitely enjoyed and would recommend!

Amazing day in Costa Maya - the entire experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Yochi, was absolutely amazing and extremely knowledgeable. One of the kindest people i’ve met and took our photo and gave us a better insight to mayan culture. I cannot recommend this experience enough and to definitely book with native choice for your tour.

Worth every penny. - Eric was amazing! He really enjoys what he does and his knowledge of the Mayan history is impressive. His driving was good. Even though the lagoon was not blue due to the rain I still had an amazing time. I recommend.
