For that reason, the day before your trip you will be notified of the precise location where you must meet us the following day.
IMPORTANT:
In Cancún: Any hotel or accommodation situated in the southwestern quadrant of the city, between the intersection of Av Cancún and Av Kabah, as well as within the northern quadrant after Av José López Portillo, is served exclusively through a meeting point in downtown Cancún because of safety-related factors and poor street conditions. Even if your hotel or accommodation appears on the listed options, transportation will be arranged from the downtown area.
Any hotel or accommodation located in the northern quadrant of Cancún, after Av José López Portillo, is also served exclusively through a meeting point in the downtown area due to safety concerns and poor road conditions. Even if your accommodation appears listed, the transportation service will be scheduled from downtown Cancún.
In Playa del Carmen: Any hotel or accommodation located outside the downtown perimeter, between 30 Av Sur and Av Luis Donaldo Colosio, is served only through a meeting point in central Playa del Carmen because of security factors and poor street conditions. Even if your property appears listed, transportation will be arranged from the downtown area. This rule does not apply if your accommodation is within the Playacar hotel area or at one of the Riviera Maya resorts located immediately north or south of Playa del Carmen.
For most hotels and accommodations within the metropolitan coastal area of Playa del Carmen, for example a property located on 5th Avenue, the closest possible meeting point will be assigned. Local traffic authorities restrict shared transportation vehicles from entering streets that run parallel to the beach. In most cases, the designated meeting location is only a few minutes away on foot, at the nearest authorized bus stop to your accommodation.
This experience does NOT provide pickup directly from hotels located on any island and does not include ferry tickets or any other island crossing tickets in either direction. If you are staying, for example, on Isla Mujeres or Cozumel, you must make the crossing by your own means. Our vehicle will meet you at the bus stop nearest the ferry terminal on the mainland side of Riviera Maya, and your return will be provided to the same place where you boarded.
Access restrictions can apply to certain accommodations, hotels, or resorts because of security-related circumstances, physical road closures, restrictions imposed by authorities, streets in poor condition, or unpaved routes that cannot be accessed by vehicle. If this applies to your reservation, the final confirmation sent the day before your trip will direct you to the closest accessible meeting point and/or bus stop.
Restrictions may also apply when entering medium-sized or large hotel properties, resorts, or hotel complexes, depending on the individual rules established by each hotel. While most properties allow transportation services for shared experiences to enter, some may deny access for security or privacy reasons. In these cases, the final confirmation sent one day before your trip will instruct you to meet at the hotel entrance or at the closest accessible meeting point outside the hotel property.
If the meeting location selected during your reservation was later confirmed by our team through the final confirmation, but that place is not actually the accommodation where you are staying, you are required to notify our team in writing by email, reservation chat, text message, or WhatsApp, preferably within the first minutes/hours after receiving the final confirmation. This allows us to reorganize the pickup accordingly and meet you outside your actual accommodation or at a different meeting point. If you did not notify our team in writing in advance and attempt to request a change only a few minutes before, during, or after your assigned pickup time, the request will be subject to availability and approval, and there is no commitment or guarantee that the modification can be made. A last-minute change could interfere with the assigned pickup times of other travelers and affect the itinerary of passengers who are already on board. As part of our operating procedure, our team will always first look for travelers in the hotel lobby, boarding area, or front desk and, afterward, when previously approved, at the newly assigned meeting location.
Exact pickup times differ greatly depending on the area where travelers are staying. We operate multiple vehicles, and each vehicle is assigned to a specific zone, so no single vehicle covers every pickup area. Some estimated schedules are:
Cancún downtown and Hotel Zone: 6:30 AM – 7:45 AM
Playa Mujeres and Costa Mujeres: 5:50 AM – 6:50 AM
Puerto Morelos: 6:45 AM – 7:30 AM
Playa del Carmen and Playacar: 7:10 AM – 7:55 AM
Riviera Maya: 7:30 – 8:30 AM
Tulum: 9:30 AM
By booking, you understand and agree that the approximate pickup times shown above are not final or definitive and may vary according to the exact location of each hotel or meeting point.
By making a reservation, you also understand and accept that you are booking an experience whose transportation logistics originate in Cancún. Therefore, the farther your accommodation is from central Cancún, the earlier or later your pickup time may be.
The time shown on your ticket is the average boarding time commonly assigned to most travelers. Please contact our team directly to verify your exact pickup time. If you have any questions, also confirm your assigned meeting location directly with our team.
Please arrive properly prepared and on time at the designated place, at least 5 minutes before your assigned pickup time. Waiting periods are extremely limited, and transportation cannot remain waiting indefinitely for a participant. Please respect the established schedule. Be considerate and keep in mind that even minor delays can accumulate throughout the pickup route, affecting travelers who are already taking part in the experience as well as those who are still waiting to be collected.
REMEMBER: One day before your trip, you will receive a final confirmation message through the contact channels connected to your reservation. This message will include your exact pickup time and boarding location. It will be sent through the reservation chat, email, and the telephone number provided during booking through WhatsApp and/or text message, depending on which communication methods the number supports and which allow us to contact you and confirm receipt. For this reason, we strongly ask travelers to provide truthful, current, active, and reachable contact information.
The experience begins in Cancun with pickup from your accommodation or confirmed meeting point. Once travelers are welcomed aboard, the route heads toward Yucatán and the Chichen Itza area, opening the day with the feeling of leaving the Caribbean coast behind and moving toward one of Mexico’s most important cultural regions. This first part of the tour gives travelers time to settle in and get ready for a day of ancient history, regional food, cenote waters, and colonial scenery.
Before reaching the main archaeological site, the route includes a short stop near points of interest close to Chichen Itza. During this part of the day, travelers will also enjoy a buffet lunch at a nearby restaurant, with time to taste regional dishes and traditional Mexican flavors. After lunch, the group will continue on foot toward the main access point of Chichen Itza, accompanied by the guides. Once inside, travelers will join an approximately 1-hour guided visit through this ancient Maya city, learning about its history, cultural meaning, architecture, and daily life during the Maya world. After the guided portion, travelers will have about 1 hour of free time to walk through the site independently, take photos, and experience the atmosphere of one of the most recognized archaeological landmarks in Mexico.
After the archaeological experience, the tour continues toward Cenote Saamal (It will take approximately 1 hour to get there), a beautiful freshwater cenote surrounded by the natural landscapes of Yucatán. This part of the day adds a refreshing change of rhythm after exploring stone temples, open plazas, and ancient history. Cenotes held special meaning in ancient Maya culture, often connected with sacred beliefs and the natural world beneath the surface. At Cenote Saamal, travelers will have time to enjoy the clear waters, swim, cool off, and take in one of the most unique natural settings of the peninsula. At the end, we will head to the beautiful historic city of Valladolid; the return trip will take approximately 1 hour.
The final stop takes travelers to Valladolid, a charming colonial city known for its colorful streets, peaceful atmosphere, traditional architecture, and rich Yucatecan identity. This visit brings a local and cultural closing touch to the day after the ruins and cenote. Travelers will have approximately 30 to 45 minutes of free time to walk around the area, take photos, admire the colonial surroundings, and enjoy the authentic character of this historic town before beginning the return journey.
After the visit to Valladolid, travelers will board the transportation again for the return toward Cancun and the Riviera Maya. This final part of the experience closes the day with time to rest after a full route through Maya history, regional cuisine, refreshing cenote waters, and colonial charm. The return trip to Cancun and Riviera Maya hotels are approximately 2 hours.
