Arrival in Tulum
After a journey of approximately 80 miles (130km) by road, we'll arrive at the archaeological zone of Tulum. The best part of this tour? You'll get there before it gets too crowded. You'll get the best pictures in a unique landscape illuminated by the firsts rays of sun. Not only you'll avoid the crowds, but also the heat of noon.
First part of the tour: The archaeological zone
The Tulum sunrise tour is divided into three parts. During the first one, the expert archaeology tour guide will accompany you on a tour of one and a half hours through every corner of the ruins. He will share all his knowledge about the history and culture of the Mayans.
Prepare to be amazed when you get in front of the main ruin "El Castillo", from where you'll be able to see both the whole archaeological zone and the sunrise over the sea. It's breathtaking!
Second part of the tour: Beach club
Once the visit to the archaeological zone of Tulum is over, we will continue the tour by visiting a beach club where you can sunbathe, take a dive into the water or enjoy the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.
The turquoise color of the sea will make you think you are in a scene of Pirates of the Caribbean. Grab a drink and enjoy the sounds of the waves and the views of the landscape from the comfort of the beach club.
Third part of the tour: Snorkeling + Boat trip
Make yourself ready for a boat trip over the Caribbean Sea. Seeing the archaeological zone on the cliff overlooking the sea is something you will not soon forget.
During the boat trip, there will be time to discover the underwater life of the Caribbean Sea by jumping into the water with your snorkel equipment. Admire the multi-colored fishes and sea plants that seem to dance in the water.
Return to Riviera Maya and Cancún
Although you'll never want to leave this place... all good things come to an end too!. Everyone will gather at the entrance of the archaeological zone to board the transport unit. When the group is gathered, we'll return to Cancun or Riviera Maya (to the same point where we picked you up). You'll arrive at your accommodation between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Tulum Sunrise tour reviews with Howlanders
Gianna Andreani
starstarstarstar_borderstar_border
The place is worth it. Knowing the Mayan history is a must if you travel to Mexico and being able to swim in that sea right next to the archaeological zone is great. Our guide Luis, was very professional and fun. Howlanders' attention was perfect from the first moment.
Questions & Answers
What is the difference between ruins of Tulum or Chichen Itza?
This is such a tough question! We must say -both are a must on your visit to Mexico-. Both are world-famous Mayan ruins, but the kind of tourist attractions and the type of activities you can do there are quite different. In Tulum, you can visit the ruins and spend free time on the beach. In addition, you will be at your accommodation by 3 p.m. and you can use the rest of the day for another activity. Chichen Itza, is also worth a visit and you can combine it with a visit to a cenote.
Our recommendation is: make time to do both activities because they're really worth it.
I'm still not sure where I want to meet. Can I tell you later?
No problem! If you are sure, indicate it in the notes section at the time of booking. If you don't have it, don't worry. When you decide, contact us at hello@howlanders.com.
