11 tours · €38–€208 per person · ★ 4.7
Day trips from Tulum on this page were picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 11 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €38 per person for a ruins and cenote combination to €208 for whale shark snorkelling with lunch at a beachfront restaurant. Most trips bundle transport with a meal, so you have less to arrange yourself.
Check the option before you book: the ruins and cenote trip leaves archaeological admission fees out of the base price, but includes them in the all inclusive tiers. The Holbox tour from Tulum has an ecotax payable separately in cash. For a Rio Lagartos pink lake tour, even the option advertised with entry fees excludes the Las Coloradas salt tax, so allow for that extra payment.

Give Best of Holbox from Cancun a full day for a boat trip and island free time. Choose Cozumel Powerboat for reef snorkeling if you are already on Cozumel; getting there from Tulum adds travel. For example, Best of Holbox from Cancun: €90 per person, 4.58 from 121 reviews. Its ecotax is payable in cash. Cozumel Powerboat: €72 per person, 4.68 from 132 reviews. Cozumel Powerboat departs from Cozumel Island; the ferry fee is extra.
Keep a full day free for most of this selection, and allow €90 to €150 per person for the middle half of fares. Extra fees can sit outside that price. The median is €126 per person and 8 hours; 9 of 11 trips with a stated duration run over five hours. For example, Rio Secreto & Tulum: €126 per person, 4.73 from 453 reviews, with ruins, river and buffet. The underground route involves walking and swimming.

For a park day at XENSES, budget separately for food and drinks. Las Coloradas & Rio Lagartos includes lunch, but its salt tax is extra even though the listing includes entry fees. For example, XENSES with Transportation: €114 per person, 4.56 from 162 reviews. It includes tickets and transport; all food and drinks cost extra. Las Coloradas & Rio Lagartos: €140 per person, 4.66 from 111 reviews. A boxed meal and lunch are included; salt tax is extra.
Choose Caribbean Fish & Cenote Exploration if you need explicitly listed Tulum hotel transfers. Elsewhere, a pickup flag can mean a meeting point or a departure outside Tulum.

It includes Tulum hotel transfers; pickups north of Tulum cost extra. Some listed variants start in Cancun or Cozumel.
Plan Whale Shark Snorkeling Experience for roughly May to September if you want a seasonal wildlife outing; a sighting is never guaranteed. Whale Shark Snorkeling Experience: €208 per person, 4.78 from 78 reviews. Dock tax is extra. Confirm the operating date and pickup point with the operator.
