Explore the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a protected area of mangroves, lagoons, and coral reefs. Take a boat tour through the reserve to see dolphins, manatees, and a variety of bird species. Be sure to bring a camera to capture the stunning views along the way. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours.
Visit the Tulum National Park to admire the well-preserved remains of an ancient Mayan city. The park is home to the ruins of a walled city perched on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea and a beautiful beach. Take a guided tour to learn about the history of the site and its significance to the ancient Mayans. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours.
Take a refreshing dip in the Cenote Dos Ojos, a crystal clear sinkhole perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The cenote is part of a larger cave system, so be sure to bring a dive light if you plan on exploring the underwater caves. Rent snorkelling equipment on-site or bring your own. The cenote is open from 9am to 5pm.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Muyil archaeological site within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. If you are short on time, skip the guided tour at Tulum National Park and explore the ruins on your own. Additionally, visit the cenote early in the morning or in the late afternoon to avoid the crowds.
