3.Tulum Ruins Exploration and Horseback Riding and Cenote Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $93Best value

Start at 9:00 a.m. with a guided visit to Tulum, then head to Maya Adrenaline for horseback riding, lunch, and a cavern cenote swim. Guides such as Chino and Cesar have earned praise, but the horse ride is short and gentle rather than a jungle trek.
