★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 778 reviews · from $60Our pick

Spend 7 to 8 hours outside Riyadh with Track The March KSA, combining a short camel ride, a 1.5-kilometer hike to Edge of the World, a 120-meter cave visit, and dinner at an istiraha. Guides may include Gibran or Musa’ed. Expect rough roads, no toilets in the desert, and a large-group setting.

“1+1+1+1=10 we had so much fun- what a variety of activities. Camel ride was short and a sweet photo op- great way to start the tour. Bat cave, good stop en route. Ride was a bit bumpy to the end of the earth ( but why wouldn’t it be) and it really was the Grand Canyon. Good hike- mild climbing. Good shoes a must. Dinner was a great way to socialize and end the day.”

6.Merida: Chichen Itza Cenote, Food Experience & Izamal

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 71 reviews · 10 hours · from $110

Leave Merida early with a small group and guides such as Hernan or Delio for Chichen Itza, a private cave cenote, a home-cooked Yucatan meal, and Izamal. The early start helps you beat the heat and queues. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes.

“My friend and I really enjoyed the trip. Getting up early was totally worth it. We arrived just before opening at Chichen Itza. That gave us plenty of space to take photos during the tour, and the temperature was perfect at that time. Afterwards, we drove to the cenote, which was such a beautiful and special surprise! The food was good and more than enough. Our guide Delio explained everything in a fun way and knew a lot about the history and culture. Truly a big recommendation!”

Travel by longtail boat from Krabi or Khlong Muang to Phra Nang Beach for sunset, cave views, a BBQ-style dinner, and a night swim with fluorescent plankton. English-speaking guides, hotel transfers, snorkeling gear, drinks, and insurance are included for groups of up to nine.

“My tour got cancelled but they managed to upgrade my tour to the 7 island tour. I appreciated the effort, it was a beautiful experience. The bioluminescent plankton were so worth it! JUST FYI- the BBQ was not freshly made on the beach and so the food was cold. The groups were also quite large for my taste.”
