Day trip to the archaeological zone of Tulum and Cenote

4.5/5
19 reviews

Embark on a breathtaking journey through time with a full-day adventure to the mystical Maya ruins of Tulum, a stunning archaeological site perched above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. This unforgettable tour blends culture, history, natural beauty, and relaxation, with lunch included to complete the experience.

Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel. As you travel along jungle-lined roads, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the ancient Maya civilisation and the intricate trade routes that once connected the Yucatán.

Arrive at the walled city of Tulum, one of the most picturesque and well-preserved Maya sites. Set atop coastal cliffs with sweeping views of the Caribbean, this site is rich in history and legend. Wander through the ruins on a guided tour, where you'll uncover secrets of Maya rituals, architecture, and daily life.

Next, head to the magical Cenote Nohoch, a hidden freshwater oasis surrounded by lush jungle. Take a revitalising dip in its cool, transparent waters, a peaceful contrast to the warm sea and feel the energy of this sacred natural wonder.

Recharge with a regional buffet lunch featuring authentic Yucatecan dishes and refreshing drinks, the perfect way to fuel your adventure and taste the local culture.

    2x adult and 1x child. All enjoyed our tour around Tulum with the very knowledgeable Carlos! Gave great insight about Tulum and the Mayans and was interactive from pick up to drop off. Our driver Migual, also our guide in Cenote Nohoch was great, helped my daughter (7) and adapted the Cenote tour accordingly, for which we were grateful. Overall no complaints, highly recomended

    Avoid at all costs! Pickup time was changed twice, resulting in an unacceptable 2.5-hour delay from the original 7 am schedule. Contacting TUI for a refund was futile; they cited their regulations and contract as justification for the changes and offered only a 10% discount voucher instead. This level of unreliability, poor communication, and refusal to provide a proper refund is unethical and ruined our experience. We will never use this company again.

    The cenote that this tour visits is very private, with limited visitors which meant we had a really great visit, some of the others are massive and too busy. I thoroughly commend our guide Tomas for making an unforgettable experience. He helped me swim through the cave when I was scared which meant I didn't miss out on an amazing experience.

    I thought the trip was amazing value for money with two incredible experiences included. Also, there wasn't much trying to sell in shops and with local producers as on some other tours. The guide and driver were both brilliant. I have only knocked points off the tour as the pickups in the morning take hours and you have to transfer onto another bus.
