Transfers from Cancun International Airport to Tulum

About this transfer

The road south from the airport is the same highway that serves the whole coast, and Tulum is a long way down it. Jungle on both sides, the occasional sign for a cenote, resort gates, then the town's main street with its shops and restaurants. For the beach hotels, the car turns off towards the coast and follows the beach road, which is narrow and shared with cyclists. Pickup planning comes down to the flight number, the passengers, the bags, and a pickup time that allows for passport control and baggage reclaim. If your hotel is on the beach road, ask it how to describe the entrance to a driver, and pass that on with the hotel name. The ruins, the cenotes and the biosphere reserve to the south are the reasons people come, and each is reached by road, so your hotel's position matters for day trips as well as for the arrival. The hotels listed on this page are Tulum's; the return to Cancun International Airport is its own search with its own pickup time, and the drive back is just as long.
