Most Tulum tours arrive with the big buses at mid-morning, rush through the site with 40 people and stop at souvenir shops on the way back. This one is designed to be different. We leave Playa del Carmen at 8:00 AM to reach Tulum before the crowds, when the light is soft and the heat still gentle. A golf cart saves you the long walk to the entrance, and all entrance fees are already included; no surprises on the day. Your guide is a federal licensed guide, who brings to life the walls, temples and history of the only Maya city. Instead of the famous, crowded cenotes, we take you to a hidden one in the jungle, where you will most likely share its clear water with only a few people. Instead of a quick buffet, we finish with a delicious lunch at a real restaurant in Playa del Carmen Small groups, no commercial stops and a personal, unhurried pace. Choose a shared small-group tour or a private tour for your group only, with or without lunch.

What are people saying about Playa del Carmen

Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya

868rudir, Oct 2026

Turtles and cenotes

That was a great tour today. Almost punctual pickup, perfect handover for transport. Safe trip with Jairo. Friendly, laid-back guide Andreas. Explained everything well in multiple languages. Snorkeling gear in good condition. We were able to observe several sea turtles. Saw a ray on the bottom and a whole school of blue tangs at arm's length. The photographer Derek swims with the group and takes pictures of everyone. Back on land after approx. 1 hr. A banana for a quick energy boost, water for thirst. Everything included. Short 20 min. drive to the cenote. Wild paths into the jungle. Life jacket on, jump into crystal-clear water, not too cold. Approx. 1 hr. Small snack for lunch. View photo gallery: The pictures are available for viewing on the tablet. Look great. Ordered the photos right away as a souvenir. Everything perfectly organized, no stress, zero complications. Small group, friendly contacts, nice conversations. What a great excursion!

Buggy & Cenote tour in Playa del Carmen by One Jungle Adventures

Joanne_R, Oct 2026

Buggy tour

This was an amazing experience it was such good fun. The guides were great, buggy’s through jungle was fab and the Cenote was beautiful. The only negative thing I would say is the trip states you visit a Mayan village which you don’t. The guide explained that it is too dangerous which is fair enough but I think it should be taken out of description. This did not spoil our day and would definitely recommend the trip.

Full Day Tulum Ruins Tour Cenote and Swimming with Sea Turtles

Haley_A, Oct 2026

Fantastic, informative, and fun!!

Jar (our guide) and Luis (our driver) were FANTASTIC! They were kind, funny, and very informative. Jar was the highlight of the excursion, and made this whole experience worth it. She took her time, answered all our questions, and was so knowledgeable about sea life, the cenotes, and everything in between. The lunch provided at the cenote was great as well. Don’t get me wrong- it’s a long and tiring day!! But this company made us feel so comfortable. They did a great job of making sure we didn’t feel like tourists. Also, I was especially impressed because Jar made sure that the tour guide at the ruins spoke English, French, and German to accommodate everyone on the trip (we had people from Canada, France, Germany, and US!) I would highly recommend, especially Jar and Luis!!!

Xcaret Park Entry Tickets with Cultural Night Show Included

fredyy2377, Oct 2026

Photo session booked

Very bad. I booked the Xcaret photo package and then there were no photos of me doing the activities I paid for. They charge you a fortune for the photos with the dolphins and of course it is separate from the package and they do not tell you. They give you an excessive price and when you tell them no, they give you a 50% discount (a scam inside the park) 100 photos.....311 dollars and then 50%. Very, very bad considering how good the park was.

Hidden Cenote Swim: Snorkeling, Sea Turtles and Beachside Lunch

Sarah_B, Oct 2026

This was such a great...

This was such a great experience! As a solo traveler, I felt welcome with a larger group of people. There were a total of nine people on my tour. Henri was a knowledgeable and kind guide. Omar was a fantastic driver. The only piece of feedback that I would give is that this is advertised as a half-day tour. I was picked up at 6:30 AM and did not get back to my resort until 4 PM. I have zero regrets and would gladly do this tour again, but I was not anticipating it taking basically the entire day.

Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch

Julian_H, Sep 2026

Great “Express” Tour

This was a great tour, especially if you’re short on time and just want to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. Many of the other tours take much longer because they include side trips to a Cenote and etc. But this fit my schedule perfectly. Great, knowledgeable tour guide, bottled water, sodas and snacks as well as sandwiches for lunch provided.

Kayla_M, Aug 2026

great time

10/10 would recommend!!!! the staff were friendly and all the activities were so fun. I went on a Monday so the lines went by fast. only tip is book the one that includes shuttle service or else you’ll have to uber/ taxi which was easy but not ideal. also went for my birthday and they give you a special helmet and a cake which was very sweet.

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Naranatha_D, Aug 2026

Chichen Itza experience

The staff were wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better staff than them. With that being said, it was a long day. One of the stops felt slightly unnecessary, but it was my choice to pick that excursion, so please read the excursion details carefully before selecting one. The Chichen Itza experience felt overwhelming for me. The reason being, I couldn’t fully immerse myself in the experience because of the line of vendors from the beginning of the walkway all the way to the pyramids. For me, I need to be immersed in the culture—experiencing the past while connecting it with the present—not constantly being approached and harassed to purchase items. I felt that the vendors should be stopped at a certain point rather than being allowed all the way around the pyramid.

Chichén Itzá Premier Tour with Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Lunch

Vanessa_D, Aug 2026

Fantastic guide and good mexican experience

Sergio was an excellent guide. It was a pleasure to listen to his stories and ask all sorts of questions about the Mayan history. Cenote was great. Lunch great. Tequila tasting great. The bus could have been a bit more comfy to be honest, quite tight for tall people but overall great experience.

Tulum, Snorkeling with Sea Turtles, Cenote and Beachside Lunch

Stephanie_M, Jun 2026

Everyone should do this trip!

We had an incredible experience on this trip! The mini bus arrived on time and everything was well organised! We had Jorge Luis and I’m sorry I forgot the drivers name but they were both friendly, funny and always made sure we were ok, well hydrated and not hungry! We got complimentary water and snacks on the bus! The trip itself is one everyone should do! The Mayan Ruins were incredible to see! Luis gave us a tour with lots of interesting information and then we had an hour to walk around ourselves! Then we went to the cenote! Which were stunning!!!! We had a Mayan perform a ritual on us! We went into the deepest cave we were allowed in and Luis told us the history and how it all worked! (Pre warning it’s cold but you get used to it!)! The turtles were next! We saw so many turtles it was amazing to see them in their natural habitat! The day we went it was a little choppy at sea but we still managed to see them clearly and quite a few of them! (Even a baby one!) Finally we went to lunch! It was on a lovely secluded beach and the food was delicious! All in all a fantastic trip! Highly recommend!

From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote

lunamU804VD, Feb 2026

Great, but here are some tips

It was a great tour. The cenote for bathing and jumping was great, as was the ATV ride and the tequila tasting. A highlight was also the zipline upside down. Omar was a good guide!:) Tips: Swim slippers for quick and comfortable use, a cloth under your nose and (if possible) glasses when riding ATV Note: the tour goes on longer than we thought. We booked for 1:30 p.m., and with the journey times we added 1h front and rear.
