Itinerary

After pickup from your Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel between 11:30am and 1:30pm, travel with your small group of up to 15 people for about two hours to Coba, an ancient Maya city on the Yucatan Peninsula.

Upon arrival, hop on a bike for a 2-hour guided tour of the archaeological zone. Learn about the temples, winding stone pathways, and other landmarks. When you get to the top of Nohoch Mul, one of the region's tallest pyramids, take a selfie with the stunning view behind you.

Then, you get to choose whether you’d like to stay indoors or go outdoors in exploring more of Maya culture. Select from one of the two activities described below: a visit to Maya villages with a ceramics class, or a ziplining adventure over a lagoon with a swim in a cenote.

After your activity, settle in for a delicious buffet dinner, featuring regional specialties of lobster or chicken, rice, beans, pasta, sauces, fresh salad bread, and tortillas. Sip aguas frescas and wine, and for dessert, savor homemade flan.

As you enjoy your meal, watch a live show with music and dancing, an authentic Maya ball game, and an acted scene from the sacred Maya book, the Popol Vuh.

Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your hotel.

Coba Sunset Tour

Robert B, Jun 2019

The tour and guides were great. This is the tour for anyone who wants to climb a pyramid before it is forbidden because of erosion, In the space below, I was solo but I was with my son's family.

Unfortunate I was ill so partner had to go on his own, but he enhiued it. May i sugest that the guid mayb iffer to take pics fir oeiple that are there on their own, as he missed out on photo ops.

Tour driver again arrived very...

mhgbag, Sep 2017

Tour driver again arrived very promptly and was very professional. We again felt the vehicle was clean and operated by driver in a safe manner. Tour was well organized and very informative. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. We really enjoyed the ruins, the buffet dinner and the mayan show. Would definitely recommend this tour. The only suggestion I would have it to add to the ticket information to arrive in hotel lobby 15 minutes early (like our other tour for the Playa Mia Beach Park stated). Unfortunately since our ticket did not state that we only arrived 5 minutes early and the driver and other passengers were waiting for us. We should have known to arrive 15 minutes early but I think it would be good to note this on the ticket to avoid delay.
