Overview

This eight-hour day trip begins with a pickup from most centrally located hotels in Cancun and nearby areas, or from a designated meeting point if hotel pickup is not available. Travelers ride in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Tulum Mayan Ruins, an ancient port city important to the Mayan civilization. Upon arrival, the group receives priority entry and a guided tour lasting about two hours. The guide explains the significance of the site while showing the main temples, including the Mayan astronomical observatory, and other cultural buildings within the city walls. After the Tulum visit, the tour continues to Cenote Nohoch, where visitors have approximately two hours to swim in the freshwater cenote. Swimming gear such as lifejackets and snorkels are available for rent on site but are not included in the tour price. After the swim, the group returns by bus to Cancun or the original pickup location. Entrance fees and government taxes totaling 750 MXN per person are payable in cash on the day of the tour. Participants should be prepared to walk about 1.5 miles (2 kilometers) at a leisurely pace and climb stairs during the visit. It is recommended to bring swimwear, a towel, a change of clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and spending money for optional expenses.
