Escape to a secluded private island for the day. Maya Key is your 11+ acre oasis full 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 exploring an animal rehabilitation and rescue facility. From the Honduran jungle cats like Jaguars and Ocelots to the feathered friends in the giant aviary, you will learn each animal has a unique story worth being shared. Monkeys and reptiles are favorites to year round guests. Check out the local activities board to find the daily animal encounters that will be available during your visit. Take a step back in time as you explore the Mayan ball court and plazas, interpretation center and art exhibits. Island chefs will serve up some of their own recipes in a traditional island picnic served buffet style while overlooking the pool, beach and the Caribbean Sea. Stop by the local gift shop, where you’ll be able to purchase local hand craft goods to take back home.
