Thread: Cruising to Mexico on Radiance. Ideas on Costa Maya?

The DH and I will be there the first of November and would like to do the ruins and a beach break...any suggestions?

But, I've also come across www.shoretrips.com who offer a trip with lunch to Chacchoben. It's $5 less than the one offered by HAL which doesn't include lunch!

I'd personally like to also see Kohunlich ruins, but they're at least 2 hours away, so that amounts to 4 hours on the road! Too likely to cause a dash-through visit!

Virtually every description in HAL's catalogue for this port includes some caution about bringing insect repellent! I guess maybe it might be buggy!

I'll try to provide more after my research is done.

Cruise Planners has a contract with Shore Trips. We've sold hundreds of their excursions and Nancy and I have personally been on several of their excursions. They have always been wonderful, good price, and not crowded.
