Insider Tip: The Tulum Ruins are very impressive, but the site isn’t as large as, say, Chichen Itza. You can easily explore Tulum in less than an hour if you would like to spend more time at Coba or stop at a cenote during your trip. Or, bring a bathing suit and jump into the dazzling blue Caribbean below.

Both Coba and Tulum are very family friendly ruins sites. We think this is a great way to introduce your kids to the Mayan pyramids. The drive between the two sites breaks things up a bit. And since this is a private service, you have a lot of flexibility to work around the whims of your kids.

At Coba, You can hire a private guide at the entrance for about $30.00 for a 45 minute private tour. You can also hire a pedicab to take you around for $10.00usd or rent a bicycle for $3.50usd. Renting your own bike is a blast, but if you have younger kids, spring for the pedicab.

Groups: If you have a larger group size, contact us for a customized quote. We have vehicles of all sizes available.

Important Note: If you bring a video camera you will need to pay the government video tax of $3.50usd at each location.
