What to expect

Embark on a breathtaking journey through time with a full-day adventure to the mystical Maya ruins of Tulum, a stunning archaeological site perched above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. This unforgettable tour blends culture, history, natural beauty, and relaxation, with lunch included to complete the experience.

Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel. As you travel along jungle-lined roads, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the ancient Maya civilisation and the intricate trade routes that once connected the Yucatán.

Arrive at the walled city of Tulum, one of the most picturesque and well-preserved Maya sites. Set atop coastal cliffs with sweeping views of the Caribbean, this site is rich in history and legend. Wander through the ruins on a guided tour, where you'll uncover secrets of Maya rituals, architecture, and daily life.

Next, head to the magical Cenote Nohoch, a hidden freshwater oasis surrounded by lush jungle. Take a revitalising dip in its cool, transparent waters, a peaceful contrast to the warm sea and feel the energy of this sacred natural wonder.

Recharge with a regional buffet lunch featuring authentic Yucatecan dishes and refreshing drinks, the perfect way to fuel your adventure and taste the local culture.
