★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24,293 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

Travel from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or the Riviera Maya to Chichen Itza with a bilingual guide such as Cesar, Luis, Edwin, or Hugo. Visit Cenote Chichikan, eat a buffet lunch, and see Valladolid. Expect an early start, a large group, and possible shopping stops.

“Pros: 1 - Guide was nice, funny and knowledgeable. 2 - Not the most expensive tour out there 3 - Good mixture of activities Cons: 1 - A bit misleading; DONT choose hotel pick up if in PDC, they will charge you more and tell you to go to the meeting point anyways, DONT buy the all inclusive option, the difference is just the ticket to the site, DONT pay for skip the line, its practically the same line/time, DONT pay USD45 for the (2) tickets needed for the site, pay at the site instead, it's cheaper 2 - The itinerary includes several tourist traps, DONT buy anything as everything…”

Private Roundtrip Transportation from Cancun Airport to Cancun Hotel Zone

5.Private Roundtrip Transportation from Cancun Airport to Cancun Hotel Zone

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,086 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.)

Arrange a roundtrip van between Cancun International Airport and your Cancun Hotel Zone hotel. A green-shirted airport representative checks you in outside the terminal, confirms your return details, and directs you to an air-conditioned private vehicle for your group of up to seven.

“We had to wait over 20 minutes for our private transportation. I’m not use to having to wait for a private vehicle transfers when I travel. In hind sight I would ask the question: “Will the car and driver be waiting for me specifically on arrival?” The service was okay for what it is. However, while it is private it isn’t like having a car and driver holding your name on a board upon leaving the terminal building.”

“Excellent service, atmosphere, for the basic package. We were moved towards the gold pass but we figured we had more than enough in the basic. If you booked through Viator you get a discount $50/person for the gold pass vs the $59/person. Our tour guide, Marlo, was excellent always upbeat, funny and upbeat. Definitely bring water shoes and have your swimsuit on. The zipline’s short but you get to do it upside down. ATV’s are fun. Definitely want to wear a mask/goggles since it didn’t rain and a lot of dust was picking up. Would do it again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,418 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with hotel pickup, drinks, snorkeling, lunch, and island free time. The crew, including guides such as Enrique, Christina, Judy, and Abraham, keeps the day lively. Expect a social boat trip, not a quiet sailing retreat or serious reef excursion.

“The crew on the boat were wonderful! Very fun and engaging. Jumping in the ocean for a bit was fun and those that snorkeled said it was super cool, just lots of waves. Our visit on Isla Mujeres was great. The shop owners were a little agressive with trying to "sell" to us, but we ate at a wonderful restaurant and walked around the town.”
