46 tours · €22–€793 per person · ★ 4.8
The 46 day trips from Cancún here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €22 per person for a full day by coach to Chichén Itzá with a cenote swim and lunch to €793 for a private van with your own guide. Most Cancún day trips follow one of four routes: the long day west to Chichén Itzá and Valladolid, the shorter run south to Tulum with Cobá or reef snorkeling, jungle half days that string cenotes together, and the summer boat days out to the whale sharks.
A quick way to choose: read what the price leaves out, because on most day tours from Cancún the entrance tax at the archaeological sites and the lockers and life jackets at the cenotes are paid in cash on the spot, and drinks at the buffet often sit in a separate all inclusive tier. Hotel pickup usually covers the hotel zone and downtown only, and the early access versions of Chichén Itzá leave before dawn for a twelve hour day.
