    Day at Ek Balam

    I had a wonderful day at Ek Balam! This is the second tour I've done with Alma Tours!! I'm grateful for Ezequiel as my guide. He shared his knowledge and appreciation for Ek Balam with me and was supportive as I climbed down from the pyramid. I never felt rushed. Lunch and the Cenote were amazing! I would recommend this experience to anyone. Alma Tours treats you like family!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you SO much for choosing Alma’s LDS Tours for the second time! It means the world to us to welcome returning guests, and we are absolutely thrilled that your adventure to Ek Balam and the cenote was another unforgettable experience! We love hearing how Ezequiel shared his knowledge and passion for Ek Balam while making sure you felt comfortable, supported, and never rushed. And climbing that incredible ancient pyramid is certainly an accomplishment and a memory to treasure! We’re also so happy you enjoyed lunch and the amazing cenote, the perfect way to cap off such an adventurous day! But what touched us most was hearing that “Alma Tours treats you like family.” That is exactly how we want every guest to feel. You’re not simply joining one of our tours, you’re becoming part of Alma’s LDS Tours family! Thank you again for your continued trust and wonderful recommendation. We can’t wait to welcome you back for Tour #3 and another amazing adventure through the ancient lands of the Yucatán!

    Amazing, amazing, amazing

    Best part of our trip by far, this was an amazing tour. We especially loved our tour guide Louis! He was so fun, and made sure we had a great time. The ruins were incredible and we loved getting to hike the stairs to the top and explore in some of the entrances. Very educational, and we’re impressed by the spiritual Beautiful cenote, got to jump off the ledge into the water which was thrilling. All in all would love to do this again and highly recommend anyone who wants to check this tour out.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your tour with us! We appreciate your feedback and are glad you could join us on the Book of Mormon tour. Your thoughts help us continue improving and inspire others to come and experience the tour. If you have any questions or want to join us again, we’d love to welcome you back! Thanks again, and We wish you all the best! Warmly, The Alma's LDS Tours Team

    All-Time Favorite Tour

    This might have been my all-time favorite tour! Our guide, Roberto, was incredible! He was knowledgeable about the Mayan culture (He is Mayan) and was also very well versed in the scriptures. But he didn't put things together that just didn't work. (Like saying this WAS a Nephite temple) We also took the Chichen Ita Tour with this same company and had a wonderful time. They have a max of 12 people, so we didn't have to be on a tour bus with a million other people. All the tours for which we hired Alma Tours was incredible! And since we booked two tours, they provided transportation from our hotel to church for free. Lunch and the Cenote were also fabulous! We were able to eat authentic food and still feel safe eating it. If we go back to Cancun, they're the only company we'll use!

    Response from the operator: Thank You for Joining Us on the Book of Mormon Tour! We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for joining us on the Book of Mormon tour. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope the experience was meaningful, uplifting, and informative. Thank you again, and we hope to see you soon! Warm regards, The Alma's LDS Tours Team

    Amazing Archaeological Find

    Ek Balam is an astonishingly preserved archaeological treasure and well worth the drive. Our guide Mario made the site come alive and presented us with information on the civilization. This tour was our favorite.

    Response from the operator: Grateful for Your Thoughtful Review Dear brother, We wanted to take a moment to thank you personally for the kind and thoughtful review you shared about your experience on our Book of Mormon tour at Ek Balam. It was a pleasure having you with us, and your words mean more than you know. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the insights shared about the history of the Mayan culture or the spiritual connection you felt during the tour. We always hope each guest leaves feeling uplifted and inspired, and knowing that this was your experience is incredibly meaningful to us. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for allowing us to be part of your journey. We wish you all the best until we meet again! The Alma's LDS Tours Team

    LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote cost?

    +

    Prices start at $255 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Cancun is not rushed.

    Is LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule LDS Tour to Ek Balam + 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 LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote?

    +

    Around 14 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does LDS Tour to Ek Balam + 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?

    +

    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 Cancun?

    +

    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 LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote?

    +

    Included: Professional LDS guide; Rountrip Transportation (hotel lobby); Bottled water; Admission fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Lockers, towels, life vests. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 712 listed pickup locations in and around Cancun. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is LDS Tour to Ek Balam + 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 LDS Tour to Ek Balam + 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.

    Is LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to LDS Tour to Ek Balam + Cenote if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cancun. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
