capricorn548 Posted December 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hello, We are 2 couples (late 30's) with 3 teens. Would you recommend the Chacchoben Ruins Tour with Native Choice or Bacalar tour with Chak Ek? Any advice welcome! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Never heard of Chak Ek, but if it's a kayak adventure with food the teens would love Bacalar over the ruins. That said, if the teens might want to see a Maya ruin and enjoy a more traditional Mayan meal, Native Choice is definitely the way to go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MahiMahi007 Posted January 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I liked the option of Tequila Tours in Bacalar, we saw the 3 cenotes of the lagoon in a comfortable boat, the van was comfortable and safe with excellent attention from Raul the guide.

Ellaleah Posted January 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2023 See The Chacchoben Ruinsthe Right Way! Review of The Native Choice Reviewed yesterday There were 5 of us, the youngest was my 13 year old grandson, who possibly enjoyed the tour the most. Eddy (closest I could get to his real name)was our outstanding guide. His knowledge of the ruins and the Mayan people was most impressive to say the least. Our tour was extensive and well worth the price. We enjoyed it and could not have been more please. I would not hesitate to book with Native Choice rather than the cruise line as cruise line excursions have always felt like a ripoff to me. It made for a great day in Costa Maya! Date of experience: December 2022 Ask Janice M about The Native Choice I posted this on trip advisor yesterday. We were there 12/30/22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roseoftx Posted January 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2023 How was the walk off the ship to the Native Choice office. I have read a few posts that they make it a bit difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellaleah Posted January 8, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It was not too bad. I am going to be 75 next month and it was not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montzmom Posted January 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Would I find that excursion on one of these boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faloon Posted April 14, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Has anyone been on RCI's Chacchoben Mayan Ruins tour recently? Was it worth the time/money? Is the area safe these days? Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2CruiseTampa Posted April 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I've been trying to book a tour with ANY operator out of Costa Maya for the ruins and lagoon, but nobody is responding by email or phone. I am thinking that the cruise line is the only way to do it now. If somebody could confirm, I would be greatly appreciated. The last I heard from Native Choice was in January.

I presume you have checked your junk mail - there have been reports of that before? Also problems with gmail. I see recent TA reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, an inquiry through their website returns an error message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
