Top Playa del Carmen Day Trips

Such a great guide! I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this before out family still talks about everything we learned on the way to and back, the cenote we swam in, the food we ate, the sites we visited and monkeys he pulled over to show us. Not just smart but passionate about the culture and history. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience using this company. Jesus was our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the Mayan culture. He answered all of our questions and artfully interwove stories of history, culture, astronomy and architecture into our experiences. He painted a picture for us with words of what life might have been like for the Mayan peoples standing in the exact spot we were standing many hundreds and even thousands of years earlier. Even though our tour included 3 stops in one day we never felt rushed and we had enough time at each location. The van was cool and clean and the driving was safe and comfortable.

This was the perfect day trip we chose for our anniversary. Our guides Camas and Carlos were great and made us feel welcomed from the moment we entered their van. Camas knew history of the areas and fun details and threw in the best humor. He took great care of us. They picked us up and dropped us off at our resort and it was great. The sea turtles were awesome to experience so close, two came up right in front of us! Talum was really awesome to see too, but the favorite was most definitely the cenotes. Absolutely breathtaking. If we ever come back, we will for sure be doing another cenotes tour! Maybe even doing the scuba experience next time! The entire cenotes park was such a fun vibe, they provided us lunch which the best food we have had our entire trip, including our resorts restaurants! Highly highly recommended! Thanks so much guys!

The whole trip was nice. The guide gives you a lot of info about the Maya culture. I bought a maya horoscope since it was beautiful but don't buy anything else at the first store you stop by because you will find everything at a fraction of the cost at the Chichen site. Our guide and driver, Saul and Henry, were very nice, patient, and helpful.

Rio Secreto was not as cold as we expected, and we have a 8 year old and a 12 year old went with us. We would do it again with a different underground section. Tulum is good, but different from 16 years ago when we visited for the first time. Facilities are good

I had a good experience with this tour. It took about an hour boat ride to get to Contoy Island from the meeting point (which is about 20 minutes away from downtown Cancun but the pick up was included and on time) and it's a beautiful unspoiled island with white sand and shallow clean water. We spent about 3 hours there: one hour to relax, one hour for a barbecue lunch and another hour for an optional tour of the island (I was the only one in the group to go for it though) which was nice. Then there was some snorkeling which I skipped because I thought the sea wasn't calm enough and I didn't want to struggle as I had never done snorkeling before. We then headed to Mujeres Island, which was very very crowded and I can't say I enjoyed it, but we were there for only an hour which was long enough to still get a taste of the island. The tour leads were very friendly and entertained us with music and dances on the boat. Many drinks were available. The only thing I didn't like very much is that once we got back to the meeting point in Cancun (at about 4pm), we had to wait almost 45 minutes before we could get on the vehicle to be dropped off at the hotel, as the tour guides were asking everyone to write reviews on the company's app using their phone. I was really tired at that point, and to be honest I just wanted to go back to the hotel instead of waiting for 45 minutes for everyone to write their reviews. I asked to write the reviews later on (I always prefer taking a few days before writing a review, just to let the experience sink in without the emotion of the moment) and I was told I had to it there, I felt a bit forced and I thought it was unnecessary. Still a good experience though, which I recommend.

Although a long day of approximately 16 hours, the experience and tour guide were well worth it! Comfortable bus with water, soft drinks and beer included at each stop. Knowledgeable tour guide Alejandro that took the time to give historical answers to all our questions. Tulum and Coba were Mayan ruins in two very different locations on windy coast and inner forest. The ability to walk up the steps of Coba was a-mazing! Local linch and Mayan blessing was a lovely addition for the day. The cenoté was very relaxing and refreshing in the beauty of being totally underground and only our tour at the location. The stop in Playa del Carmen was a bit too peopley for me but was a short stop and the sorbet was yummy. Highly recommend the tour and to bring supper snacks in your day bag.

The staff was so attentive, patient, and friendly. They really know that they're doing and they're flexible with guests choosing their own photo experience. There were only 3 travelers on our trip and 4 staff (not including the driver), so we certainly each got a lot of individual attention.
