Tour Overview

Live the perfect day in the Riviera Maya combining history, culture, and unlimited adventure. On this private tour, we take you to discover the spectacular archaeological site of Tulum before the crowds arrive, and then leave you at the Xel-Ha paradise, where you can eat, drink, explore, and have fun without limits.

The best part of this private service: You set the clock. Since you don't depend on a shared tour bus, you can choose how much time to spend taking photos on the Tulum cliffside and what time you want your driver to pick you up at Xel-Ha to return to your hotel.

Tulum: The walled city facing the sea

We will begin the day in Tulum, the most photogenic Mayan settlement in the world.

  • Private guided tour: A certified expert will take you through the key areas, such as El Castillo (The Castle) and The Temple of the Frescoes, narrating the history of this strategic commercial port.
  • Panoramic views: You will have free time to admire the contrast between the grey ruins and the turquoise blue of the Caribbean, capturing photos without the pressure of a large group behind you.

Xel-Ha: The largest natural aquarium in the World

After the culture, total fun arrives. We will drop you off at the Xel-Ha entrance with your All-Inclusive bracelet already paid.

  • Snorkeling and adventure: Enjoy the natural inlet, slide down the Scenic Lighthouse, travel the river on an inner tube, or fly on the aquatic zip-lines.
  • Unlimited gastronomy: Your ticket includes buffet food, snacks (from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM), and a domestic open bar (beer and cocktails) in all the park's restaurants.
  • Total comfort: You have lockers, towels, and snorkeling equipment included. Just relax—we take care of making sure your transportation is waiting for you at the exit gate at closing time.

What makes this tour different?

  1. Gain up to 3 hours of real time: Avoid the pick-up route through 10 different hotels. We go directly from your hotel to Tulum, and from Xel-Ha to your hotel.
  2. Flexible schedule: We recommend leaving early (7:30 AM - 8:00 AM) to make the most of Xel-Ha, but the final decision is yours. The same goes for the return to your hotel. If you are tired at 4:00 PM, we leave. If you want to stay until the park closes at 6:00 PM, we will wait for you.
  3. Personalized attention: Your guide and driver are exclusively focused on making sure your group has an impeccable experience.
  4. No surprises: Your reservation includes private round-trip VIP transportation, all admission tickets, and the All-Inclusive plan.
