Creator's Key Takeaways

You don't have to book an excursion here. There's so much to do right inside the port and most of it is completely free.

If you don't want to do an excursion, this is probably one of the best ports in my opinion to just hang out at.

It's the easiest port day ever. No taxis, no stress, and still tons of fun.

Costamaya might look small, but it's packed with free and easy things to do right at the pier.
