A tour to the Tulum Mayan Ruins, and some of the Riviera Maya's best snorkeling in one great tour from Cozumel!  This great combination is even available to cruise ship passengers as a shore excursion!

After pickup at the Cozumel Ferry pier in Playa del Carmen, you'll first visit the Tulum Mayan Ruins, famous for its fortress walled city, built on the edge of the sea cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea.  There is a beautiful beach below the ruins too, that you can walk down to if you like, or even swim.  Hire a guide for a guided tour, or explore on your own!

Then it's on to beautiful and tranquil Yal-Ku Lagoon in Akumal, home to some of the best shore snorkeling in the Riviera Maya.  The waters here are calm, even when the ocean is choppy, which makes it a great snorkeling location.  See sea turtles, eagle rays, and tons of brightly colored tropical fish and corals.

Cruise Passengers:   Yes! This tour makes a great shore excursion. You'll need to ride the ferry over to Playa del Carmen on your own, but then your driver will be there to meet you right on the other side.

When: Daily on Your Schedule.

Where: You will need to take the passenger ferry over from Cozumel on your own to meet this tour.  See Ferry Information

There was a mixup with our start time. We were supposed to start at 8am, but our driver was told 9am. So...we had a delayed start. Outside of that, our tour was excellent. Our driver was very laid back and allowed us all of the time we needed at each of our destinations. Thank you!

We booked a private van through Playa del Carmen Tours to take us from our resort to the ruins in Tulum and then to Yal-Ku Lagoon for snorkeling. The driver picked us up just as scheduled and helped us get an excellent guide in Tulum. He was right at the appointed location at the specefied time when we finished at Tulum and it was the same at Yal-Ku Lagoon. It was an excellent experience! His efficiency and professionalism allowed us to do both of these interesting and fun activities and be back to our resort by 1:00 p.m. which is what we had asked.

We booked for a private Cobe and Tulum tour and were super happy with the service we received! What made the excursion exceptional though, was the amazing driver/guide we had, George Leon. We were a party of three, my wife, myself and our teenage son; George was engaging with each of us and shared a wealth of stories, knowledge and information we all took something meaningful away from. I'd give '11s' if the ratings allowed for it! We will definitely be looking at this service again for our excursion needs.

My cruise was cancelled twice causing us to have to change out trip plans with Cozumel Tours. They were extremely accommodating and was happy to offer us a later date as a result. Thank you very much.
