PUERTO COSTA MAYA, MEXICO in port 7am – 2pm

There is plenty to do at the port at Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico and it is a aafe

port to explore.

Because your’re there only a few hours, you might decide to just enjoy the

port area and not venture on any excursions.

More into below…

What to expect on arrival at Costa Maya cruise port

When your ship docks in Costa Maya cruise port, you’ll moor up to a T-shaped pier, which can

accommodate up to four cruise ships at a time. Once you’ve disembarked, it’s quite a long walk along the
pier to the terminal. But there’s a complimentary trolley if you don’t want to, or can’t make the walk.

Once you arrive at the terminal building, you may be wondering what to do in Costa Maya cruise port.
You’ll be able to enjoy the many facilities, swimming pool and restaurants, or you can join an excursion if

you’d prefer to leave the confines of the port.

If you’ve already booked an excursion (we’d recommend it as they often get booked up in advance!) you’ll

have instructions on where to meet your tour guide. This will usually be on the narrow street outside the
terminal gates. Meetup with guides is usually pretty straightforward at this port.

Is Costa Maya cruise port safe?

Costa Maya cruise port is very safe for visitors. There are strict rules in place meaning only people on
cruise lines, or visitors who have reservations for the port’s attractions, are able to enter.

The area around Puerto Costa Maya is also very safe. Mahahual and the surrounding region are sparsely

populated and crime levels are very low. So you can definitely feel confident if you decide to leave the
cruise port.

advance or there are plenty of rental shops in Mahahual.

Excursion transportation

then your best bet is joining an excursion where comfortable and reliable return transportation is included.
