Raul had our bikes, waiting and ready for us as soon as we got off the ship. He gave us a quick tutorial on how to use the electric bikes. They were very easy to use (4-60 year olds). All worked wonderful we were able to explore on our own in Costa, Maya (Mahahual Mexico). There were even maps on the back of each bike to navigate to the causeway, where all the beach resorts were. It is a two block walk after you get out of the port so you will do some walking to get to the fake Mayan ruined to pick up your bikes. But it’s an easy walk no hills. Coming in and out of the port, we only had to show our sail and sign card, but we had our passports just in case. There is a basket on the back of each bike plus a helmet. I was able to take my backpack off and put it in the basket or you can wear your backpack while biking. Cable and lock are provided for the bikes to be secured if you had to park them and leave them. But if you were going to one of the beach resorts, they would’ve been safe. We went to the Tropicante’ Beach resort, almost all the way to the far end of the beach causeway, and they parked our bikes for us, and they kept an eye on our bikes. It was a wonderful different experience, and not having to contend with all the crowds waiting in line. We would book this again for our next trip to the port of call in Costa Maya.
