5Wonderful Experience-Great Tour
This was an amazing experience. The lady doing the tasting was very knowledgeable and friendly. She taught a lot about how it was made and the right way to enjoy it. Highly recommend this tour.
5Great!

5Fantastic 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!!
5A 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!
5Tequila 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.
4Delicious 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.

About Costa Maya
Costa Maya is the southern Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán, a quiet shoreline of white beaches and mangroves beside the reef, with Maya ruins inland.
Costa Maya is the name given to the southern stretch of Quintana Roo's Caribbean coast, south of the Riviera Maya and close to the border with Belize. Its shore is a quiet strip of white sand, palms and mangrove, backed by low forest, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef runs just offshore. Mahahual, a small seaside village with a long boardwalk, is the main settlement and has a dock for cruise ships. Xcalak, a fishing village at the southern tip, sits beside a protected reef park.
