“This tour has a lot of time sitting on a chartered bus - combined, close to 3 hours. The tour guide Rosy was very knowledgeable and did speak about the area and history on the way to the ruins. However, speakers on the bus intercom system were blown and it was difficult to understand what she was saying. Our bus had to be changed due to some kind of mechanical problem 1/2 way through. Lunch was delicious and time for kayaking was good. I didn’t see any beach access at the lagoon area.”

“This your company was top notch. We booked with this company for the premium small group experience. When no one else booked at the same time, instead of canceling, they gave us a private excursion. Leo, our guide was very hospitable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We started our trip with a private car, went to the ruins, where Leo personally guided my husband and I around, avoiding the crowds. On the way to the 7 colors Lagoon, our boat wasn't ready, so instead of waiting on the dock, he took us to go see the forts. He stopped on the way to buy a fresh pineapple from a street vendor,…”

Review of La Leyenda Eco-Tours in Costa Maya, with reef stops, small boats, family-friendly guides, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Awesome excursion! Very friendly, very safe, and brought delicious food for our diving. They worked hard to give us the best experience possible. We’re experienced snorkelers, but Joe was never far away with a floating ring just in case. They know the local topography and really went all out for us. This is good for beginners and advanced snorkelers, lots to see and a good crew. I’ll be back next time we’re in Costa Maya”
