Tulum and Coba ruins plus a cenote swim and a shaman ceremony. Includes lunch and hotel pickup from Cancun area hotels.

“Great experience! Bus picked us up at our hotel in the hotel zone and we took off to Tulum. Tulum ruins are off the beach and were amazing experience to see. Next we were off to Coba. Coba setting was different. These ruins were buried deep in a jungle. After a long walk we got to the big temple. The tricycle ride down was a nice relaxing way down. Finally we went to a cenote to cool down after lunch. Lunch was good buffet style all you can eat. We were the only ones at the center so we had the whole place to ourselves. We had an hour to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 65 reviews · 8 hours · from $187

Full-day Cancun adventure at Xplor Park, with underground river swimming, zip lines, amphibious vehicles, and an all-inclusive buffet.

“Xplor is a phenomenal and truly unique adventure park that everyone should experience at least once. The highlight for us was swimming, rafting, and wading through the underground caves, surrounded by thousands of natural stalactites and stalagmites – it’s breathtaking. Even the central hub, and main walkways are built inside the cave system, so just moving around the park feels otherworldly. The new waterslide is spectacular and puts many Florida water parks to shame – I just wish there were more of them here! The amphibious vehicles were another standout: bouncing along dirt tracks in the jungle, splashing through rivers, and even driving into cave tunnels was every bit as…”
