Cancún · TULUM RUINS TOURS FROM CANCUN

The 15 Best Tulum Tours from Cancún

27 tours  ·  from $29

Tulum is smaller than Chichén Itzá and sits on a cliff over the reef, which makes it the better morning if you also want to swim. The 15 below sort the ruins-only runs from the ones that add a cenote, Cobá or a reef stop, priced and timed.

Spend a full day moving from Maya ruins above the Caribbean to a reef reached by motorboat and a jungle cenote with caves. Guides such as Suly, Raul, Ulrich, and Mimi are praised for clear explanations and careful water support. Lunch, gear, transport, and Tulum admission are included.

“Love, love, love! Everything about this day was amazing! It was my first time traveling solo, but I never felt alone. Raul, Marcel, and Ivon were great: professional, courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. I’d definitely do this again, but I’d also do excursions to each of the places separately to have more time there.”

I waited for them for an hour before giving up. They finally sent me a message several hours after the pick up time, after I sent them many messages and I complained to Viator. I received a refund but wasted a day of my vacation.”

“Took over 5 hours from pick-up to the first site, lots of time wasting! Too many extra cost that should have been in the initial cost, very deceiving. Bus had comfortable seats thank goodness, but the suspension you felt every bump. Couldn't hear guide over air-conditioning, which was freezing requested it be turned down several times. The first 3 sites were interesting but the Playa del Carmen we got there so late and it was just to get us to spend money.”

“We were charged double for tickets to Tulum once we got there. Our guide said it was not their fault and we had tot take it up with “the company”. He was not helpful and gave us the ultimatum to either go back to the bus (after having traveled hours) and wait or pay for the ticket and tax (after having paid the tax before getting on the bus). The line to get our ticket was over an hour and we ran through Tulum in a few minutes with no time to look around. The food was barely edible and they try coerce “a lucky 4 people” into buying extremely…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 176 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $79

Visit Tulum with a local guide, then cool off in Cenote Puerta Maya. The six-hour outing includes Tulum admission and priority access, with guides such as Jackie, Julian, and Marie leading some departures. Hotel pickup is available from much of the Cancun and Riviera Maya area.

“Transportation there and back way too long longer than the actual Tour even though we were only 30 min away from Tulum. Picked up and waited for many other added on passengers and went opposite way to drop them off. Had to line up at Tulum for multiple wrist bands. No guide speaking on the bus and short explaining at Tulum. Two hours at the centre way too long. Full of Bat poop. Used Viator in Costa Rica and had a much better experience. Might be hesitant to use viator again”

15.Tulum Mayan Ruins and Cenote Swim from Cancun

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 154 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $79

Visit Tulum with guides such as Mary, Jackie, Jerry, or Gabriel, then cool off in Cenote Puerta Maya. Expect Maya history, beach views, a swim, optional snorkeling, shared transport, and a long day from Cancun with 750 MXN in cash fees.

“We drove around in circles picking up people and in one case, waited 45m for a family. The travel time both ways was over 5 hours when it should have been 2-2.5h max. It kind of ruined what were 2 beautiful experiences. The cenote was lovely - small, quiet, refreshing and the Tulum ruins were pretty cool too - lovely area. But just not worth spending 3/4th of a day with most of it driving in random directions.”
