Escape to your private island for the day. Maya Key is your 11+ acre oasis of fun and relaxation. Your adventure begins with a short scenic boat ride from your cruise ship port. Enjoy the natural setting of pristine beaches, lush gardens, tropical waters and the Meso-American coral reef. Other experiences include our animal rehabilitation and rescue facility. From Honduran jungle cats like Jaguars and Ocelots to feathered friends in the giant aviary you will learn each animal has a unique story worth being shared. Monkeys and reptiles are some of the favorites and we have daily animal encounters, so be sure to check out the activities board! You will think you have gone back to the time of the Mayans as you explore the Mayan ball court and plazas, interpretation center, and art exhibits. Taste the flavors of the island as the local chefs serve up some of their own recipes in a traditional island picnic served buffet style overlooking the pool, beach and the Caribbean Sea. There is also a gift shop with local handy crafts available on site.
