Most, if not all, of the Cruise ships which stop at the new port of Costa Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico offer shore excursions via bus to Kohunlich. Our full day tour cost $90, which was well worth it considering that the ruins are a two hour drive one way.
Our tour bus was new, very comfortable, air conditioned and restroom equipped. Our tour guide spoke good, albeit imperfect English. He was a native graduate student and obviously had a passion for sharing information about his country with visitors. For the entire two hours it took to drive to Kohunlich, on fairly new highways, he shared with us information about the Yucatan, sights along the way, and our destination. He also fielded many questions from us passengers.
On the return trip we drove mostly in silence except for our own conversations. We made one brief stop where I got a large bottled Coca Cola for only 75 cents US. Fortunately, Karen had a bag of salted peanuts in her purse which I added to the Coke for one of my favorite treats.
