Fantastic tequila just outside cruise port
What an amazing experience! We booked a tour ahead of time while in port on a cruise. It was about a mile from the cruise terminal but the walk was shaded (mostly) and easy. We met with Lilly who did our tasting and tour. She was so informative and taught us a lot about tequila and the process. I was so impressed with how smooth the different tequilas were and their distinct flavors. They are a top notch distillery! There was nice bar seating inside and you could feel the culture throughout the space and decor. They also have a larger space for parties upstairs! There were a few handmade items you could purchase as well as the tequila. Outstanding experience , I would even do it again! Highly recommend!!

A Must-Do Experience in Mahahual – Private Tequila Tasting
The Private Tequila Tasting by Tequila Tasting Experience was absolutely outstanding and exceeded all our expectations. It’s a perfect activity for anyone looking for a unique, authentic, and well-organized experience in Mahahual. From the very beginning, everything felt both professional and welcoming. The host was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the origins of tequila, the production process, and the differences between each type in a clear and engaging way. The selection of tequilas was excellent, featuring high-quality options that you wouldn’t normally try on your own. Each tasting was thoughtfully guided, teaching us how to truly appreciate the aromas, flavors, and nuances of tequila. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it ideal for couples or small groups. The personalized attention made the whole experience feel exclusive and special. Without a doubt, this is one of the best things you can do in Mahahual, especially if you want to learn more about tequila and enjoy something truly authentic. Highly recommended — we would definitely do it again!

Tequila and more.
Had a great time learning about tequila and tasting the various tequilas available. After the tasting we were hungry for lunch. Our guide called his friend and they opened their restaurant for lunch for us.

Delicious flowing Tequila and Mezcal.
Anna was fantastic! Tastings were delicious and ample. Only lost a star because they weren't open, no one around, when we arrived. It was a Sunday, but we booked for that day specifically. After reaching out through the app, and waiting over an hour, my friend heard back from the operator (I never did) and we headed back to the spot. Once there, as I said, Anna was great, the tequila and mezcal was flowing and delicious, and the cat was friendly. I'd definitely recommend, but make sure to reach out in the days leading up to if it's on a Sunday.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $44 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Costa Maya is not rushed.
Is Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup?
+
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 Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup?
+
Around 23 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 Costa Maya 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 Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Costa Maya: Tequila Distillery Experience & Tasting, Port Pickup 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 Costa Maya 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 Costa Maya?
+
On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Bacalar – 7 Colors Lagoon Excursión Costa Maya. 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 Costa Maya?
+
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 Costa Maya?
+
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.
