About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to create unforgettable, authentic experiences and fun adventures for every guest. Led by a team of native experts, we deliver the highest standards of personal service with genuine care, pride, and respect for our culture, ensuring a safe and timely journey.

About The Native Choice

The Native Choice was founded by Ivan Cohuo and David Villagomez (originally known as David and Ivan Tours), both natives of Chacchoben with extensive experience in the travel and hospitality industry.

We've built a passionate team of locals who share our philosophy. They are not just guides; they are storytellers who bring our culture to life with the insight and perspective only natives can provide. It's this dedicated team that has helped us become Costa Maya's most trusted tour operator, providing unique shore excursions for guests from around the world.

Our Philosophy

Our success is based on a simple philosophy: we pour our hearts into everything we do. We combine a passion for our home and culture with a commitment to exceptional service, creating authentic and memorable experiences for every guest. Our tours are crafted to feel like a personal journey, free from the impersonal, commercial feel of typical shore excursions.
