Your server will help you decide how you which to have each selected seafood cooked, your meal comes with your choice of coconut rice, fries, or salad. I can’t even remember how I decided to cook my meal, because all the options he listed had me drooling. I picked shrimp, Octopus and conch, each cooked differently, with a side of rice.

Maya Island Air Terminal San Pedro
Content: After breakfast, I walked to San Pedro Airport booked a tour with Maya Airlines for $215
The Great Blue Hole
Content: It is an hour long tour and the charter plane just goes around the hole and tilts back a forth to allow us to take pictures and video of the phenomenon that is the Great Blue Hole. I wish the captain would have given us the back story and explain how it was discovered, but I was able to do my own research but it would have been nicer to get more information from a local, especially considering this was a tour after all. Although the tour is pricey in my opinion, but it is one of those things you only get the opportunity to see once in your lifetime, so I highly recommend it.
