MAYAN RIVIERA TULUM RUINS TOURS

Tulum is one of the most famous Mayan Ruins sites in the Riviera Maya, set high on a cliff top, overlooking the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea - a startling contrast that is a photographer's delight.  It is the closest major Mayan Ruins site to Cancun, and the cruise pier of Calica, and as such is one of the most visited in all of Mexico.  We offer the biggest variety of Tulum tours in the Riviera Maya!

Just below the Tulum ruins lies a small but beautiful beach, ranked by National Geographic Traveller magazine as the 4th best in the world.  You can walk down the steps to the beach for a cooling off if you have time.  Tulum is not as large or impressive as Chichen Itza, but it does have three major temples - El Castillo (the main tower), the Temple of the Descending God, and the Temple of the Frescoes.

Tulum Tours - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long will it take to explore Tulum?
A: Give yourself about 2 hours and you should be fine.  This is how long most of the public tours spend, and if you're planning a private tour, this is a good guideline.  You'll want to give yourself some more time if you want to spend some time on the beach however.

Q: How far is Tulum from Playa del Carmen?  From Cancun?
A: Tulum is about 1.5 hours south of Cancun, and about 45 minutes south of Playa del Carmen.

Q: I'm on a cruise ship to Cozumel - can I visit Tulum?
A: Normally, yes.  You will need to do a private tour, as the public tours will leave too early for you to do them, but you normally will have plenty of time to visit Tulum and still get back to your ship in Cozumel on time.
