smithley Posted February 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Back from our cruise last week and wanted to report on this excursion. We booked through RCCL to minimize hassle in case of cruise cancellations, etc. We were very pleased with the Aimoar Adventours company that ran the excursion and with our guides, Hector and Yocelyn. Nice transport for the ~90 minute ride - they only had 10 people in a vehicle for 16 so come extra distance between folks. The rafts were very sturdy and outfitted with life jackets and held only 4 people. As advertised, a chill float down the river and then a stop in the lagoon for swimming. Water was only chest deep and you could reach down and get some of the sand to some quick Mayan-style exfoliation. Float back and then a light lunch before the drive back. I think that any excursion from Costa Maya is going to require a long bus ride, but it was nice to do it in comfort with interesting narration from our guide. Tip: bring an extra towel or two for the ride back because you might get a bit chilly in the vehicle if you're still damp from swimming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theump Posted April 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2022 What shore excursions was this. Didn't see in the RCCL Shore Excursions for our cruise in December. Sound interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
