The Top 13 Water Tours in Costa Maya

Dive into the turquoise waters of Costa Maya and experience a world of ocean fun! Whether you crave adventure or relaxation, this stunning slice of the Caribbean has it all.

Snorkel or dive into the colorful Mahahual Reef, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, and discover an underwater paradise filled with vibrant coral, tropical fish, and graceful sea turtles. This aquatic wonderland is perfect for those who love to explore the ocean’s hidden treasures—curious snorkelers and seasoned divers alike.

Craving a thrill? Feel the wind whip through your hair on a speedboat or kick back on a catamaran, gliding along the coastline to secret coves and pristine beaches. Secluded stops for swimming, sunbathing, and perhaps a refreshing tropical cocktail make these boat excursions an absolute delight. And if you want to catch that perfect sunset, a relaxing cruise with live music and drinks offers the best view.

For those who prefer paddles to propellers, rent a kayak or paddleboard and head to Bacalar Lagoon or the Sian Ka’an Biosphere. These tranquil waters are home to mangroves, manatees, and even the occasional flamingo. A guided paddle will not only let you soak in the beauty but also teach you about the region’s ecological importance.

No matter what floats your boat, Costa Maya’s water adventures have something for everyone—active explorers, relaxation seekers, or anyone looking for unforgettable ocean fun!
