Shore Excursions

Quirigua and the Rio Dulce: This side-tour will take you on a two hour trip down the Rio Dulce. This amazingly scenic trip also gives you a feel for the culture of the locals that live along the river banks. After the river trip, see the amazing Maya Stelae at the ruins of Quirigua. Our LDS guide will instruct us on the history of this site and people ($115 — $5 cash discount).

Chacchoben: This side-tour from the port of Costa Maya will allow you to get a feel for Mexico. We will start our tour out by traveling to a nearby fishing village that was destroyed a couple years ago by a hurrricane, where you will have time for shopping and swimming. We will visit a local grade school where you will be given a service opportunity (bring school supplies if you’d like). Interacting with the kids is a highlight. We will spend a little time at the beach, have lunch and head towards Chaccoben. You will enjoy the jungle setting of Chacchoben. Learn how the structures and rituals of the Maya relate to the Book of Mormon and LDS beliefs ($105 — $5 cash discount).

Lamanai Ruins: Take an exciting speedboat ride down the New River to get to the amazing Maya ruins of Lamanai. These ruins date back to the Book of Mormon time period. Climb the huge temples, search for howler monkeys or just enjoy the beautiful jungle setting ($115 – $5 cash discount).

Tulum Ruins: From Cozumel see one of the most famous and beautiful of the Maya sites. Tulum sits atop a cliff overlooking the ocean–the setting is surreal. This excursion will allow for some free time to shop or swim in the ocean at the bottom of the ruins ($105 – $5 cash discount).

All Shore Excursions are optional and may be purchased separate from the cruise rate.
