Private Tours to Tulum Ruins: your questions
Need help choosing an itinerary for your group? Talk to our team.
Can I visit Tulum without swimming?
Yes. Tulum Express is a ruins-focused outing. The Tulum and Coba tour also offers an itinerary without the optional cenote swim.
Can I choose one or two cenotes?
The Tulum and Cenote tour offers one- and two-cenote options. Check the tour option dropdown for the available itinerary and lunch choices.
What is the difference between the turtle and reef tours?
The turtle tours include snorkeling from the shore in Akumal Bay, a protected bay where conditions are generally calmer and snorkeling is usually easier. The Tulum reef tour includes a boat trip to snorkel in the open sea near Tulum.
Does every tour on this page include Tulum ruins?
The tours are grouped here because they include or offer a Tulum visit. On the tequila tasting tour, select an itinerary that includes Tulum if you want to visit the ruins.
