Visit Tulum and Cobá, swim through a cave cenote, and enjoy lunch and tastings on a long but memorable day from Cancun.

“Tulum ruins were really stunning! Great location and such a cool place to see. Coba is also a really special place in the jungle......but take insect repellent with you! The cenote was amazing and we got to swim through the caves. Cruz was a great guide through the caves and knew lots of interesting facts/points on interest. Definitely take goggles or a mask and snorkel to get the best out of this experience! We had a great time with Richard the driver and Pastor our guide. Would thoroughly recommend this trip!”

“Coba is under rated. It should be before Tulum or on it's own. This place deserves a cleansing before entering. Coba is so beautiful. It is humbling to stand in a place where others more creative than myself have imagined. It is truly magnificent.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 380 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $75

Review of Cancun’s 4x1 tour to Tulum, Cobá, a cenote, and Playa del Carmen, with costs, timing, guides, transport, and practical tips.

“It’s a long 12-14h trip. You get to get up very early to be picked up and need to get off the bus to join another bus in the middle. Pros: you see everything in one day. Guide and driver friendly and working hard. No mandatory purchase. Very detailed guide at archaeologic site. Cons: you have to bring your snack and water. Since your early 6:30 breakfast, you won’t get fed til 3:30pm . And you walk quite a lot and sweat a lot. So not good for diabetic people or with other medical conditions. Alternative is to book an 8h Tulum trip instead of 4x1”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 304 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $332

Review of a private Cancun tour combining Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, Mayan tacos, and cenotes, with practical advice on cost, timing, and packing.

“We did the private tour and Alma was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. We had plenty of time at each location, and we never felt rushed—we could go at our own pace. We had a group of 10, with 2 adults, and 8 kids ranging in age from 7-18. Everyone had a great time and this was their favorite activity of our trip—and it’s usually impossible for us to find something that EVERYONE in our group likes. I would a million percent recommend this to anyone.”

Visit Tulum, swim in a cenote, enjoy a buffet, and stroll Playa del Carmen on a full-day Cancun tour with Ekinox Tours.

“Make sure you bring non-recycleable water botle, because they won't allow any recycleable water bottles. Very nice views and on the Caribbean sea. Great bus with lots of legroom, don't book ODA, where you get cramped into tiny spaces like the one the offer here to chichen itza, which was a 3 hour drive. Make sure you book with Ekinoctours.”

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

Visit Tulum’s seaside Maya ruins and swim in a clear cenote on an affordable Cancun day trip with hotel pickup and a guide.

“The tour was okay, but the ruins were pretty close to Tulum, so it would be easy to do on your own. The guide was nice, but not very engaging. When we first arrived to the ruins everyone split up before we entered, so we kind of just hung around for about 10 mins unsure of what was going on. The cenote was pretty, worth a visit.”

Review of Cancun’s 4x1 tour to Tulum, Coba, Cenote Kuxtal, and Playa del Carmen, with practical advice on timing, value, and shopping stops.

“Tour, Guide and driver was exceptional, however, we had to make over 4 stops. We started at 7:09 am at our hotel and it was 10:15 am when the bus picked up the final guess. I asked for a small group, but it ended up with a full bus load. So, we spent 6 of the 12 hours just on the bus pickup and drop off.”
