Selecting an Excursion
There's a wide array of excursion options offered by numerous tourist offices and companies, allowing you to explore the most famous places in the resort. These excursions can generally be categorized into two types: those focused on nature reserves and those centered around historical sites.
Bus Tours
Bus excursions are highly popular in Riviera Maya and can span a full day or 1-2 days. These tours often take you to destinations like Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Coba. There are also first-class buses available for these routes. If you're looking to save money, you can consider visiting the historic Mayan cities independently.
You can also explore the charming beach villages of Riviera Maya on your own by taking a shuttle bus from Cancun to Tulum.
Tour Prices
The cost of organized excursions in Riviera Maya can be on the expensive side. For instance, an excursion to Chichen Itza may cost around 2000 MXN. However, admission tickets to individual temples and pyramids are often more budget-friendly. For example, a ticket to the Coba pyramid costs only 57 MXN per person.
Excursions to the natural parks of Shkaret, Xel-Ha, and Xplor are also highly sought after.
