Additional Information

The archeological site of Tulum, an ancient Mayan port overlooking the crystal waters of the Caribbean, is a must-see on a visit to the Yucatan. Enjoy a detailed historical tour just as the site opens, when it is virtually empty and the morning light over the ocean is a treat.

We follow up with a visit to an exclusive cenote hidden in the jungle. This is an incredible insight into the underground world of the peninsula, where we walk, wade and swim in the clearest of waters, surrounded on all sides by the wondrous limestone formations that create beautiful textures in the rock. A close-up and exclusive experience of the unique environment of the underground rivers will leave you with a lasting impression of this magical world. The open sink hole in the middle of a labyrinthine cavern and the winding paths that lead us to it will delight your senses.

  • Don’t Forget to Bring: Towel. Bathing Suit. Water Shoes and Flip Flops. Extra T-Shirt. Hat. Sun glasses. Camera. Cash (Most of the local vendors only accept cash). Only if necessary: Bio degradable Sun Screen & Bio Degradable Mosquito Repellent.

An incredible half day experience in Tulum! - The entire trip with Iber was amazing. He was a thoughtful, engaging, and knowledgeable guide that made the entire experience more enjoyable. We had excellent weather, great views, and a wonderful cenote adventure. Highly recommend!

Truly Beautiful Tour! - This tour was wonderful! Our guide, Paloma, was especially fantastic, and she made this tour our absolute favorite one of our trip. Since our hotel was near the ruins, we had debated just going to see them ourselves and booking a different tour that didn't include the ruins, but we were so glad that we had Paloma as our guide through them to share all her knowledge about the history of the structures and land. It made the viewing of the ruins much more meaningful. The private cenote and underground caves leading to it were also our favorite places we visited on our trip (we went to 4 other cenotes and they were all amazing, but this one was the most incredible). There is something truly magical about the energy in this place, and Paloma guided us through it with a respect to place and history that was inspiring, made us feel connected to it, and made the experience really special. The timing of the tour was also just right, as we seemed to have places nearly to ourselves while we were there. The driver, Oscar, was also great and got us to each spot in good time and it was nice to be dropped off conveniently to get straight to the experiences while he went and parked. Highly recommend this tour!

Tulum Ruins and Cave Cenote with Iber - Iber was a fantastic tour guide and kept us entertained from the moment we entered his vehicle. He is very passionate about Mayan history and went out of his way to educate us on points of interest. The little things Iber did during our tour is what made this trip so special. He made sure we got the best photos at just the right angles at the ruins. Iber also made us feel very safe in the cave cenote. Be aware that the cenote in this tour is not a big open chamber like you see when you Google pictures of cenotes online. This cenote is a rare experience of an enclosed cave with only 1-2 small openings to the sky. It can be very claustrophobic at times, and there's tons of catfish and bats in this cave cenote. It was a beautiful experience overall and I wouldn't travel with anyone other than Mexico Kan Tours!

Tulum Ruins and Amazing Underground Caves - Excellent tour of the Mayan ruins and Cenote! Our tour guide, Niko, was terrific throughout. He is knowledgeable, easy to understand, and very accommodating. There were three phases of the trip: 1) Ruins; 2) Cenote; and 3) lunch. The ruins were beautiful, although there was a lot of restoration work being done and there were a lot of visitors. Niko gave us an extensive history of the culture, architecture, and customs. The Cenote was my favorite part. I was a bit claustrophobic when we first saw the entrance but that went away quickly when we entered the cave and saw the amazing beauty. The air was pleasant, the water was clear and cool, and the geology was breathtaking. Lastly, we had an amazing, authentic lunch. I had the best fish fajitas I could have imagined. Thanks Niko for making the trip amazing! Steve

Her passion for her work was evident, adding depth to the tour’s rich history and providing comprehensive answers to various inquiries. For this particular tour I would have like more spot to stop at with more refreshments. Overall it was amazing and I 100% recommend it.

Beautiful Ruins y Cenotes - We did the EBike Tour…..Amazing Tour! Our Guide Alondra was super knowledgeable and interactive. Our favorite part was the views from the ruins. If you are worried about being able to pedal or are a little less athletic like myself, this is definitely the tour for you. I loved that the e-bike did most of the work for me. My only concern was the seat. Over the ride, it became a little irritating. Ask for a cushion!

Great experience! - We thought it was a very good tour. Alondra was a very good and friendly guide who told us a lot about Tulum and the Maya culture. The information Alondra provided made the experience at the ruins much more interesting. Swimming in the cenote at the end is a nice refreshment to finish. Definitely good value for money and would definitely recommend!
