Gorge our guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and funny. It was a long day but we had a great time. There was lots of time at the stops.

This trip was so worth the long day! Seeing the Tulum ruins was a massive tick on the bucket list for me (though you don’t see any other part of Tulum). The guides are so knowledgeable. The swim in the cenote was incredible - definitely bring flip flops to wear between showering and getting into the cenote as it’s very stony down there. There is an extra charge of 540 pesos to take into account. Really enjoyed, would highly recommend.

Full description

Explore the archaeological ruins of Tulum with an experienced guide, plunge into a refreshing cenote hidden by the jungle canopy, and check out the hip shops and stylish boutiques in Playa del Carmen on this full-day excursion.


Be picked up at your hotel and relax on the way to site of Tulum's weather-worn ruins that are perched above the sandy shores of the Caribbean. Let your guide take care of the admission fees and head inside to uncover the secrets of the ancient Maya.


Stroll between temples, palaces, and fortresses that have stood for hundreds of years. Slip down to the beach for some leisure time on the sand. Continue on to the Mariposa cenote, where dappled sunlight illuminates a freshwater pool in the middle of the jungle.


Take a dip to cool off, enjoy a tasty buffet lunch on site, and then take a ride to wrap up your day among the bustling activity of Playa del Carmen.

A good way to see several different types of activities in one day. Enjoyed lunch at Cenamayte but would have liked more time for swimming after lunch. Overall, a great time
