Cozumel
We will visit the park "La Kiin" located 5 minutes from the cruise ports of Puerta Maya and ssa mexico. We will revive the Pok Ta Pok, the ancient ball game of the Maya! It's not a match, it's a sacred battle where Mayan warriors hit a 4kg ball with their hips. Witness the rite written in the holy book "The Popol Vuh: the struggle between life and death". The prize? Captain's sacrifice. Live it live! Here you will walk a path to visit the huts and taste the corn tortilla with a rich sikil pak, artisan chocolate, honey and tequila.

Vote for pedro
We went to Cozumel and looked for an activity that would be easy for our age. Honestly, going with Pedro was the best option we could have made. We toured the island, saw the Mayan dancers, and had a meal on the other side. We will definitely be back and choose Pedro again.

Excellent experience.
My husband and I visited Cozumel last month; we took several tours on the island, but we loved this tour the most; it is a unique experience with a lot of culture! We appreciate the attention and professionalism of Pedro, our guide, who accompanied us at all times.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.
How much does Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cozumel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cozumel is not rushed.
Is Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cozumel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cozumel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cozumel and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ancient Cozumel, Mayan Ball Game and Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cozumel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cozumel?
+
On Outty we rank every Cozumel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jade Caverns and Mayan Village Cozumel ATV TOUR, Buggy, Beach & Snorkel Blast, ATV 4×4+Cenote+Snorkeling+Beach Club+ Lunch+Sabores de Cozumel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cozumel?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cozumel?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
