Private Tour: Coba Ruins by Bike, Tulum Ruins by Boat and Swim in a Cenote

Highlights

  • Coastline views of Tulum—that most visitors never see—from a boat 

  • Admission tickets to Tulum, Coba, and cenote included

  • Round-trip hotel transport: Avoid navigating Quintana Roo on your own

Summary

After an early morning pickup from your Playa del Carmen or Riviera Maya hotel and a brief coffee shop stop, your guide brings you to the archaeological site of Coba. Ride to the entrance on your choice of a bike or taxi and then explore the ruins at your own pace. Avoid the stress of navigating the area on your own, and instead, follow your guide to a secluded cenote—a cavernous limestone sinkhole filled with fresh water. After a relaxing swim, sit down at a nearby restaurant where a buffet lunch of traditional Mexican food awaits. Your last stop is Tulum, the only Mayan city built on a cliff overlooking the sea. Board a boat and enjoy sweeping views of Tulum on the coastline, a perspective rarely seen by visitors. Once docked on the beach, enjoy free time to swim or snorkel. The tour ends back at your hotel.
