The Experience

The day starts with hotel pickup and a drive to Tulum's archaeological site, where a guide walks you through the walled Mayan city perched on a cliff above the Caribbean. From there you stop at the Come to the Light sculpture for photos, then head to Dos Ojos park—two sinkholes 70 meters across, connected by a corridor stretching 396 meters and dropping 118 meters deep. You swim in the crystal-clear water, take photos of the landscape, and eat a buffet of traditional Mexican food with non-alcoholic drinks included.

The final stop is Gran Cenote, recognized across the Riviera Maya for its blue water and the turtles that swim there. You get time to swim and explore before the drive back to your hotel. Transportation, the guide, meals, and entry to Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote are all arranged; the only thing you choose at checkout is whether to add Tulum Archaeological Site entry.
