What to expect

Explore one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on this complete day tour to legendary Chichen Itza and the famous Kukulcan Pyramid. Learn about the vast archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, cool off with a dip in a serene cenote, and snap colourful photos in colonial Valladolid, complete with a tasty buffet lunch and a spacious coach ride between each stop.

You start the day with a visit to Cenote Xunáan, a cavernous freshwater pool in a light-filled limestone cave, and dive in for a surreal swim.

Next, you can tuck into a buffet lunch of marinated pork before you hop back on the bus for the last leg of the drive to Chichén Itzá. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features excavated ruins and well-preserved temples, including the iconic Pyramid of Kukulcan and the Great Ball Court, some of the grandest and best-preserved structures of their kind.

Once you've had a look at the nearby Sacred Cenote, climb back into the comfort of the bus. Your final stop is in the quiet city of Valladolid, where the colonial-era pastel walls of shops and restaurants offer a colourful backdrop for photos before the return trip that brings your tour to a close.

Riviera Maya Day of the Dead Celebrations with dinner

Celebrate like a local on Mexico's biggest and most vibrant holiday with this Day of the Dead outing. You'll dive into ancient traditions, and get a memorable glimpse into one of Mexico's most significant cultural events. Lucas, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Dià de los Muertos is like a family reunion – but with an otherworldly twist. It's a joyful celebration where families honour loved ones through storytelling, music, dancing and of course, delicious food.' Kick off your journey by plunging into the crystal-clear waters of Mexico's mystical cenote – an underground river that's the perfect refreshing start to your adventure. After your swim, you'll sample traditional festival foods like 'pan de muerto', a sweet bread baked in the shape of skulls or bones, as well as savoury tamales, both believed to comfort the souls of the departed. Throughout the day, you'll also learn about cool traditions like ‘offrendas' – offerings to loved ones – and the significance of bright orange marigold flowers. Next, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with Mexican culinary magic by making your own guacamole. Sip on local wines while a chef spills the secrets behind regional flavours and cooking techniques. Lucas adds, ‘We whip up all the favourite foods and drinks of our loved ones to show we still care. Plus, we even set out their favourite snacks on the altars – you know, just in case they get hungry!' The tour wraps up with a dinner that captures the essence of the day, offering unforgettable memories and a whole new appreciation for Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
