★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,041 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Review of Playa del Carmen’s ATV, zipline, and cenote tour, with practical advice on transport, costs, activities, age rules, and value.

“I had an amazing first time experience on this adventure! The zipline was way more fun than I expected! The ATV's was pretty rough but I truly enjoyed it. The tequila tasting was very informational. The performances were amazing to watch and very entertaining. The cenote, was not for me. My top latch on the life jacket came off when I jumped in and I panicked. I recommend that you all check every one's life jacket for safety issues and defaults.”

2.Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,039 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $99

Swim with sea turtles at Akumal and explore a clear Yucatan cenote on this guided half-day tour from Cancun or Riviera Maya.

“That you need to have a longsleeved t-shirt, otherwise they sell it to you. You go through a tunnel with stalagmites and huge sharpe rocks under water, it is not swimming in a cenote. Seeing turtles happens together with a lot of people, I would prefer taking the trip just max 2 more people. The price is too much for a short trip and a big group of 12 and there were 3 children.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,747 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $99

Review of Playa del Carmen’s buggy jungle tour, cenote swim, Mayan village visit, costs, transport, family fit, and practical tips.

“Be prepared to speed through the jungle and get nice and dirty! It was a total blast, my 7 year old loved it. The Cenote is completely hidden gem and the stop on the local rural village was an eye opener. I knew from other reviews that we would see another side of Playa del Carmen and I feared it would be exploitative of the people, but it didn’t feel that way. Everyone was so sweet and the kids all excitedly waved to us—every single one of them! Be prepared with some little toys and treats for the kids. There is an option to contribute to the community and of…”

Ride 25 miles through Riviera Maya jungle, swim in a natural cenote, and enjoy hotel pickup on this small-group Playa del Carmen tour.

“This trip was amazing! Ricardo and Fernando were the best tour guides. The terrain was a little rocky going down to the cenote and our friend had a broken toe. They helped her every step of the way. I would recommend this trip, such a great experience! No sunscreen or bug spray on this trip to preserve the fresh water cenote.”

“We had a great day at Chichen Itza with Alberto. The day was extremely smooth- on time pick up, clean comfortable vehicle with breakfast and drinks at the ready. He provided excellent information throughout the day complete with pictures etc. The lunch at the cenote was outstanding- better than the food at our resort. I can't recommend this tour and Alberto highly enough.”

Review of an early Chichen Itza, Ik Kil Cenote, and Coba tour from Playa del Carmen, with costs, timing, stops, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I don’t think I could say enough good things about this tour. We had a group of six people that left early in the morning from Cancún/ Playa del Carmen and arrived early at chichen itza. The tour was meticulously designed to keep us one step ahead of the massive crowds all day. The guide, Tonantzin, was fun, knowledgeable, high energy, and got us all some great pictures to boot! She also recommended good local artisans at chichen itza, which has a ton of vendors. The cenote and lunch was a nice refresher halfway through the trip, and once again, we arrived early and left right as several larger tours…”

Review of a small-group Coba, Tulum, Multum Ha Cenote and Mayan Museum tour from Playa del Carmen, with tips on cost, timing and value.

“I had originally booked to go on a Thursday, but it was cancelled due to weather. Luckily, I was able to rebook for the next day (Friday). There were five of us including me, plus the driver Jose and Antonio our guide. We arrived early at Tulum and avoided lines and large groups of people. Paradise Beach was a wash because we got caught in a downpour. Next was lunch then a visit to Coba where, again, we did not experience lines or large groups. The day ended with a swim in a cenote. At that time, there was only one other couple, so it felt as if we had…”

“***PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ SMALL PRINT IF THERE IS ANY *** They make you pay 800 peso per person in person $48-50 per person more than what you already paid through Viator . It comes out very expensive and I don’t think it’s worth it . First off we had a schedule pick up time from the meeting location in tulum Starbucks they arrived 25 mins late no big deal because we waited inside Starbucks. When the tour guide arrived me informed us of the extra fee we owe . ( bring cash or they have a payment machine) The tour is long be prepared it is an all day…”

Compare Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, a cenote swim, and Mexican lunch on this 12-hour Playa del Carmen tour.

“Very well guided tour by our fearless leader Manuel (TAQUILLA!) and Issac. Our tour of Ek Balam was unfortunately omitted from the tour last minute, but the tour of the tiny village, cenote, buffet lunch, and ending with Chichén Itza was amazing. Manuel had such a great knowledge of all the amazing Myan mysteries of Chichén Itza (including being able to hear simple quiet talking across the sport field and the mysterious “birds” at the pyramid). I would highly recommend Amigo Tours to anyone thinking of doing a day of exploration off resort. Amigo Tours picked us up at our resort in the morning and dropped us back off at…”
