★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 757 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $275Our pick

Spend four to six hours in Tulum’s Tankah area with a private guide such as Alberto, Marianna, or Yair. Swim and snorkel in four cenotes, ride jungle zip-lines, paddle canoes, try a cliff jump, and share a Mayan village lunch. Private pickup covers the Riviera Maya.

“An amazing experience. Our guide Hugo was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The cenotes were beautiful and warm to swim in. The zip lines were fun and very safe. And to top it all off the home cooked meal at the end was soooo good. I would 10/10 recommend this tour. Plus paying extra for the private tour was well worth it.”

4.Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 180 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $270

Start around 6:00 am from Tulum in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with guides such as Alex, Ulises, Johnny, or Cesar. Visit Chichen Itza before the crowds, swim in a cenote, and enjoy a Mexican buffet lunch. Toll roads and some pickup areas cost extra.

“Simple fantastic. Alex made our private tour an amazing experience. Getting up early is very worthwhile. It meant we had Chichen-itza to ourselves. Add in walking around in the cooler morning air. Amazing. We left passing the massive queues and headed to the cenote. Again we had the place to ourselves for about 20 minutes. Swimming around the cenote without the hum of the crowds was enchanting. And lunch.. we were the only people in the buffet hall. A great tour. Highly recommended.”
