Expeditions is offering travelers a chance to journey through little-known regions of the Yucatan with their new Costa Maya Explorer trip - a seven-night lodge-to-lodge sea kayak and Mayan cultural adventure.

The B.C.-based adventure tour company will launch the new Costa Maya package on Feb. 17, 2013. A dynamic, multi-sport itinerary takes trip participants to unexplored beaches and off-the-beaten path towns and attractions. Activities include sea kayaking, kayak surfing, reef and cenotes cave snorkeling, plus visits to remote Mayan archaeological sites.

The Costa Maya itinerary includes four nights in beachfront cabanas at Balamku, an ecological boutique lodge just south of Mahahual in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The exclusive eco-lodge operates completely off the grid, using solar power and capturing and storing rainwater. After kayaking and snorkeling on the Caribbean, the trip then heads out to Laguna Bacalar, the Lagoon of Seven Colors' - a freshwater lagoon known for its shades of turquoise blue.
