What makes this tour unique?
This is a private, customizable experience that goes beyond sightseeing and focuses on hands-on cultural immersion. Guests don’t just watch — they grind cacao on Mayan stone tools, prepare traditional salsas, make handmade tortillas, and taste honey from two different bee species, including the sacred Melipona bee.
Set in a jungle venue, the experience connects food, nature, and ancient Maya traditions in a relaxed and interactive way. Because the tour is private, the route and pace can be adjusted, and guests may also enjoy scenic drives around the island depending on their interests and time.
It’s not a cooking class or a show , it’s an authentic, small-scale experience where guests actively participate and connect with Cozumel’s living culture.

5.00Bottom line: this tour is worth every minute you spend and you should not hesitate to book it! Excellent experience with a knowledgeable guide, Johny. Johny has lived on Cozumel for 10 years and has all sorts of interesting fun facts to share. The van was safe and comfortable, and we had no issues getting in and out. (Watch your head!) When we got to Tierra Maya we were greeted by the friendly staff and started making our “chocolate bar” which started with roasted Cacao beans and we learned how to “peel” them and then grind them down on a stone plate with a stone “rolling pin.” I don’t remember the name of those tools. Then we mixed in some honey for a yummy treat. After that we were on to “meet the bees” and some liqueur and Tequila tasting. It was so interesting to see the tiny little stingless bees right there in their tree. The tastings were great and many different kinds were tasted. Then we made a salsa out of roasted tomatoes and ground pumpkin seeds. To eat the salsa there were, of course, tortilla chips. But the we got to press out a tortilla and they cooked it on a grill. The salsa on the fresh tortilla was amazing. After the Honey and Chocolate we were treated to a stop down by the water not far from the town and Johny gave us more fun information about life on Cozumel.
Real good experience and glad we did this tour. People presenting did an awesome job.

5.00We had a lovely and informative visit on this outing. Our guide at the bee farm was passionate about the natural world, the Mayan culture and the future of the bee farm. Who know there were stingless bees?? Everyone was so hospitable especially the guide, Diego, who brought us there

5.00Charlie was an excellent tour guide - the best! We appreciated his flexibility and his vast knowledge of the area and its history. Tierra Maya was an great experience. Each of the four stations taught us something new. Learning about and seeing the Meliponini bees and sampling the honey were a highlight. He taught us enough to know that we need to come back to Cozumel for another visit! We packed a lot into our half day tour and it was wonderful - Cenote (with crocodile), chocolate, east coast beaches and more.
Hidden Gem of Cozumel - a must visit!

5.00I cannot rate this excursion highly enough, it was that good! The guide we had from our cruise (DCL) coupled with the guide at the farm (Noemi), were the highlights of our trip. Our kids had a blast, including a 14 year old (can you imagine!) - he loved it, especially all the food! We were truly honored to have had this experience and welcomed so warmly, by Noemi and Ms Martha. She prepared for us fresh tamales, as well as hot chocolate. We made our own dip (delicious!) and our own candles from the beeswax. And of course, lots and lots of honey to try! Do not skip this, it is a hidden gem!!
Amazing A++++

5.00Felipe was an amazing and knowledgeable guide showed us the island it was a special time, highly recommended . He went out of his way to help lift my daughters wheelchair in and out of the van multiple times just to make sure we had a good experience.
