Cozumel Excursions: Mayan Ruins Cruise
Table Of Content
Tulum is well-known for cenotes, long stretches of beaches, high-end resorts, and a bohemian vibe. Cozumel is known for unforgettable reefs, out-of-this-world scuba diving, crystal clear waters, and cruise ships. We have one tour on this list that has one day on the catamaran to Isla Mujeres and also includes a day trip to Chichen Itza. Which, if Chichen Itza isn’t on your bucket list, it totally should be!
Relaxing Weekend Caribbean Vacation Ideas
Come experience the world famous, magnificent ruins of the walled city of Tulum, the only Mayan city built right on the blue Caribbean Sea! After a 45-minute ferry to Playa del Carmen, your guide will lead you to an air-conditioned motor coach for a scenic and informative one-hour drive to Tulum. We work with reputable, local tour operators to offer you a wide variety of excursions to choose from, in every port you’ll visit. Enjoy some time in the water, swimming with tropical fish, before it’s time to go back. The Sian Ka’an Adventure Full Day Trip to Punta Allen is one of the best Tulum sailing tours.
Luxury – $$
Dating back 800 years, the city of Tulum is the best preserved coastal site of Mayan ruins and the second most visited of all the Mayan ruins in Mexico. An experienced guide will accompany you through the temple walls to discover El Castillo, The Temple of the Descending God, The Temple of the Water and the Temple of the Frescos. Relax with a light snack and a cold bottle of water before continuing on to a tour of Playa del Carmen.
What are the best things to do in Tulum Mexico?
After snorkeling, this Tulum Boat Cruise continues to see two hidden sites that you can only access from the sea. Among these, you’ll visit a caleta, which is a private cove perfect for swimming. Wonderful views, beautiful water, great people and fun experience.
These include things such as eggs, smoothies, french toast, fresh fruit, pancakes, and more. You are sure to find something on their menu for any taste palate. After moving to Playa del Carmen, Mexico in 2018, she created her travel blog to empower others to travel safely and confidently in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. Using her Spanish language skills and expertise in Mexico travel, she is passionate about teaching others to travel Mexico like a local. However, the ferry from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen takes about 45 minutes, and the ride from Playa del Carmen to Tulum takes about 1 hour. The stunning Tulum Mayan Ruins are located just north of Tulum, right on a hillside cliff overlooking a large stretch of beach and the vibrant Mexican Caribbean sea.
Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Party, Buffet, Open Bar, and Snorkel
Finally everyone was on board and it was time to head back to Playa de Carmen and the ferry back to Cozumel. We tipped both the guide and the driver, as their salaries are mostly what we provide. I always board a cruise ship with a case of bottled water and brought some with me and was pretty glad I did.

Bike the beach road
Pamela was probably one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had, and she was quite thorough with the history of Tulum and the Mayans. She assured us that the Mayans did not just disappear, but instead dispersed into the surrounding jungle when resources such as food and water got scarce. I struggled to get around by bus and taxi for the longest time. But after renting a car in Cancun in 2023, I never looked back. It allowed me to explore the country without worrying about tours or taxis. It was why I fell in love with Mexico and eventually decided to live here periodically.
Located just steps from the beach, a visit here is dreamy, unique and unmissable. There’s something about riding a bike that evokes a feeling of freedom and belonging. In Tulum, it means pedaling past stop-and-go traffic, a sense of liberation as you explore the beachfront from the ruins to Sian Ka’an, a canopy of leaves lining the way. We see that they have set up chilled towels for us prior to boarding and the bus had been running to cool down.
The tour will take you back to your hotel in Tulum so you can rest up for day two. After snorkeling, you can hit the open bar and relax on the boat. This area is crazy beautiful, and with a drink in hand, good music, and the hot sun, it really doesn’t get much better than this! You will make your way to Isla Mujeres, where there is a lot to explore.
As a travel blogger that lives in Playa del Carmen, I’ve traveled to the island of Cozumel, to Tulum, and between the two destinations several times. After years of hard work, what better way to celebrate than with an amazing adventure? All your senses take over, the contemporary works of art becoming part of this place as much as you, which is exactly the point of this architectural beauty.
But honestly, the best bang for your buck is this 2-day Catamaran and Chichen Itza tour. For $179 USD you’ll have two full days of adventure, including transportation from Tulum, food, and entrance fees. Go back in time and discover the beauty, the mystery and the culture of the venerated Mayan people. Learn a few phrases in Spanish and speak to waiters, vendors, tour guides and everyday people. When you travel to Mexico, one of the best ways to enjoy the country is by immersion. Try the local food, shop the local markets, and choose excursions that allow you to spend time getting to know a specific neighborhood, historic site or natural wonder.
