★★★★★★★★★★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.”

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

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 · 1,782 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $285

Review of a private Chichen Itza tour from Playa del Carmen with early entry, Oxman cenote, Valladolid lunch, guides, price, and tips.

“Was very nice to have a private tour guide, be the first at the popular temple, learn the facts from an educated guide and have a great quiet lunch. The car was clean and did not smell like car wash air freshener thank God. Abraham was a wonderful guide and the highlight of our first trip to Cancun. The Cenote was a unique experience. If you like animals bring dog treats and insects appropriate for a 1/2 meter iguana.”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

I would recommend this trip, such a great experience! No sunscreen or bug spray on this trip to preserve the fresh water cenote.”

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…”
