    Nice experience

    I really reccommend this tour. Ek Balam is such a nice archeological site and really deserves to be visited as much as the more famous Chichen Itza. The guide was really nice and the food was tasty!

    Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

    How much does Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.

    Is Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Box Lunch with sandwhich, fruit, juice and sweet (Just with Plus Option); In-vehicle air conditioning; and Groups of 18 people maximum. Not included: Gratuities; State Taxes, Chichen Itza USD 66.00 per person; Life jacket rental in the cenote, Chichen Itza USD 4.00 per person; and Drinks are not included if you choose the basic option. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 859 listed pickup locations in and around Playa del Carmen. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Chichen Itza & Ekbalam Tour with Cenote if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
