If you're looking for more adventure, the coastal lands between Tulum and Xcalak are an explorer’s paradise.

Day trips from Mahahual
A visit to Quintana Roo is not complete without visiting one of the many Mayan ruins. The Mayan ruins of Chacchoben are very close to the town of Limones, west of Mahahual. This remote site is less traveled than some of the other nearby ruins, so much of the ruins are still intact. Some of the temple pyramids built by the Mayans after they settled in the area in 200 B.C. have been partially restored. Tourists aren't allowed to climb the ruins themselves, but you'll still get plenty of photo-ops from the base. Tulum, to the north also has some great towering ruins. This city was one of the last to be built by the Mayans so the sites are incredibly preserved. While you're here, definitely explore the underground river in the sacred caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park or dive into Cenote Dos Ojos to snorkel inside the caves in the middle of a forest.
Mahahual accommodations
Mahahual has small charming hotels in the heart of the town as well as some luxurious vacation villas on the beach.

Transportation in Mahahual
There are two ways to get into Mahahual from your ship at Costa Maya, taxi or port shuttle. Taxis are located only 100 yards outside the port's exit, and port shuttle stops are located inside the port. Shuttles are easier to find, but it'll take longer to get reach the center of town. They only travel downtown, and you must take a taxi back to the port. Taxis are actually faster and cheaper than taking the shuttle. Just ask for the "port exit" instead of a "taxi" or you'll be directed to a shuttle. The drive to Mahahual is easy from Cancun's International Airport. Just take México 307 all the way there.
