Chichen Itza Gastronomic, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo - Maya food and the Kaua cooperative

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 710 reviews · 11 hours 20 minutes (approx.) · from $29Our pick

Review of the Chichen Itza, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo tour from Playa del Carmen, including costs, timing, stops, food and practical tips.

“We took this tour out of Playa del Carmen after deciding not to rent a car for our trip. We enjoyed seeing Chichen Itza, the Cenote, and Vallodolid, but the latter two locations were way too rushed on this tour, and lunch was served way too late in the day for how long of a day trip it is. The tour company is a bit disingenuous and clearly has some kind of deal with the Mayan village stop that they take you to for lunch. Apparently all the guides follow a script in which they discourage you to spend money anywhere but the Mayan village. They also do not give…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 365 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Rio Secreto Plus in Playa del Carmen combines cave swimming, cycling, rappelling, ziplines, lunch, and small-group guidance.

“Driss (tour guide) was funny, knowledgeable and very kind! He took the time to tour in two languages and never left anyone out of the fun! He even got us a ride to our hotel (we paid) but at least we didn’t have to hunt a taxi down! 10/10! The tour itself was exciting! Repelling was scary but rewarding when we got to the bottom. The cavern was really cool and swimming in the depths of the planet…nothing cooler!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 339 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $127

Review of Riviera Maya’s ATV, zipline, cenote, and rappel tour, with practical advice on price, transport, safety, timing, and who should book.

“Unorganized and tardy. Upon arrival, no one greeted us to give direction so it took some time and digging to determine what to do. We were told there would be lockers, but we did not get to access them until AFTER riding the ATV and ziplining: picture doing this while holding a full beach bag. Ridiculous. The ATV run was going around the same dirt track twice, so that was not exciting or interesting. We were promised 4 ziplines but only got to do 3 because the break broke on the last one. The first one was the highest and longest, making it very intimidating for my friends who have…”

No complaints, just fun and good times. We snorkeled in 3 different eco systems. Zip lined into the water and enjoyed fish therapy where the fishes ate the dead skin cells off our feet. the lunch served was delicious and we truly enjoyed ourselves.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 60 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39

Review of Tulum’s ATV, cenote, and zip-line tour, with pricing, transport tips, fees, safety notes, lunch, and practical advice.

“How do I start? We were picked up on time which was a positive. However the drive to the venue was not advertised as part of the adrenaline activities. The driver smashed into a speedbump going way over the speed limit in a soccer mom van, my partner was left with a tweaked back and my knee smashed onto the seat Infront. Driver basically apologised and said he didn't know the roads very well in this area... Great start. We then turn into a dirty road where the centre is located and it's a 1 mile road of massive pot holes. Great fun. Once we arrived, I mentioned the drive…”

Swim with bull sharks off Playa del Carmen on a guided 24-meter certified diver excursion supporting shark protection.

“This was, hands down, the best dive I’ve ever been on. The crew was so professional yet fun and caring, too. And the sharks … how fortunate are we that we were able to peacefully observe them in their own environment … absolutely stunning creatures. The Scuba Libre crew made this an experience we will never forget. I never once felt unsafe or at risk … just in awe of nature.”
