    Top 7 things to do in Tulum

    Visit Tulum for its combination of ancient history and natural wonder. Wake up in a resort on an endless stretch of sand, spend the day exploring the best-preserved coastal Mayan ruins, and beat the heat by snorkeling in the region’s underwater cave systems.

    • Mayan Ruins of Tulum

      1. Mayan Ruins of Tulum

      The coastal ruins in Tulum are the last ruins the Mayans built and the best preserved today. Take a break from the beach and visit early before the crowds and high sun arrive.

    • Cenotes Dos Ojos

      2. Cenotes Dos Ojos

      The cavernous scuba diving at Cenotes Dos Ojos is incomparable. The Mayans called the caves “sacred wells” because of the magical views under the clear Riviera Maya.

    • 3. Cenotes Sac Actun

      Located a bit further out from Tulum, it is a natural paradise of underwater caves. Take a guided tour for an inside scoop on this hidden gem.

    • Gran Cenote

      4. Gran Cenote

      Great for families, animal lovers can swim with countless colorful fish and friendly turtles in the mild clear waters of the Gran Cenote.

    • 5. Cenote Esqueleto

      Do not be fooled by its small tucked away entrance, this giant scuba diving cave is called the Temple of Doom because swimming in the halocline makes an eerie “fog.”

    • Las Pinturas

      6. Las Pinturas

      Named for the stucco paintings on the wall, this ancient 85-foot pyramid was a sacred Mayan temple.

    • Playa Paraiso

      7. Playa Paraiso

      Sip a piña colada with the powdery white sand and electric blue waters of the best beaches in Mexico.

    Planning Your Visit

    • How to get there?

      It may be easiest to rent a car after landing at the airport in Cancun, not to mention the benefit of a breezy 90-minute coastal highway drive. If you’re on a budget, take a bus to Playa del Carmen and transfer to a second bus to Tulum for under $20 total.

    • How many days to spend in Tulum?

      Day trips from Cancun are not advisable—there is simply too much to see and do. Give yourself at least three nights to explore.

    What people are saying about Tulum

    Overall rating

    4.4 / 5

    based on 1,447 reviews

    It was a beautiful trip. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because they mixed up my pick up location and I had to pay for a taxi to take me to another hotel for pick up. They also said pick up time is between 8am - 9am but they ended up coming 7:35am which I wasn’t prepared for. Other than that, it was such a beautiful experience learning more about the Mayan Civilization and getting to see the beautiful ruins and beach. Our tour guide person, Ruth Zamora Martinez, was such an amazing person. She is so sweet and patient and she will go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy during the trip. I would definitely want her as my tour guide person next time. I absolutely loved it ❤️

    Tulum and Dos Ojos Cenotes: 5-Hour Guided Tour Reviewed by Elissar, 1/8/2021

    We absolutely loved our tour, especially the experience at the cenotes. The water was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing to swim in and enjoy. The food served at the location is excellent. Inexpensive, delicious, it was truly a taste of authentic Mayan cuisine. Our guide Alejandro (Alex) had been leading tours for over 20 years and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even had advice on where to take the best photos. Transportation to and from the sites was easy and comfortable.

    Tulum and Dos Ojos Cenotes: 5-Hour Guided Tour Reviewed by Caleb, 1/10/2021

    Amazing! A full day tour with drinks, snacks and lunch. Lots to see and experience but never rushed. Time to ask questions and get an informative response. Top marks! Great guide (Aide Damien & Gonzales) and driver. Extremely safe with the driver showing excellent care and attention throughout and a wonderful guide who offered great insight and helped make a memorable trip. Well done and thank you

    Tulum, Coba, & Cenote: Full-Day Tour Reviewed by Stuart, 12/14/2020

    Tour was interesting and our guide had extensive knowledge about the sites. There was a good division of guided tour and alone time on the archeological site. Company decided to take us to a different sinkhole, without really explaining a reason for change. Tour got extended for an additional hour, even though most of us wanted to leave.

    Tulum and Dos Ojos Cenotes: 5-Hour Guided Tour Reviewed by Toni, 1/3/2021

    We loved our whole experience, and we would recommend it as a MUST DO while you are in Tulum. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The park was clean and well cared for. The cenotes were INCREDIBLE! And...people in the park were so nice and great to work with. I am ready to go back and do it again.
