46 tours · €18–€813 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 €18 per person for a full day by coach to Chichén Itzá with a cenote swim and lunch to €813 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. The best reviewed day tours from Cancún come first below.

Pay for Chichén Itzá Private Tour if your own guide and schedule matter to you. It is priced per person, so a couple pays for each traveller rather than splitting the displayed price. These day trips have a median of €100 per person; the middle 50% cost €64 to €178. Shared and private medians are €86 and €337 per person: a spread between different products, not a premium for the same tour. For example, Chichén Itzá Private Tour: €399 per person, 4.99 from 342 reviews. Alcohol is extra.
Budget beyond the ticket price on Early Access to Chichén Itzá: its Meeting Point tier includes admission, but you still need to pay the site tax and budget separately for food. Early Access to Chichén Itzá, Meeting Point tier: €45 per person, 4.87 from 2,287 reviews. Admission is included; site tax is paid by card at the gate, and meals are excluded. Three Hidden Cenotes, Small Group, Meeting Point tier: €35 per person, 4.82 from 2,112 reviews. Drinks and photos cost extra.

Book a hotel pickup option if you need collection: the Three Hidden Cenotes Meeting Point tier requires you to get to the meeting point yourself. Hotel pickup is listed for 45 of 46 day trips; whether it is included depends on the ticket option. For example, Three Hidden Cenotes, Small Group has a Meeting Point tier at €35 per person, rated 4.82 from 2,112 reviews. Select an option that includes pickup and confirm collection and return times for your hotel; listed durations may exclude transfers.
Choose your route first for English or Spanish; for French, German, Italian or Portuguese, start with the language filter to narrow the day trips. English and Spanish are each listed for the 46 day trips here. For example, Tulum, Cenote and Playa del Carmen lists both: €35 per person, 4.82 from 331 reviews. A listed language does not establish a departure conducted solely in that language; confirm the guiding language for your chosen date with the operator.
