Coba Sunset Tour with Mayan Villages or Ziplining Plus Show and Dinner

Get picked up at your Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel between 11:30am and 1:30pm and drive approximately 2 hours to the ancient Mayan city of Coba on the Yucatan Peninsula. Participate in a 2-hour guided archaeological tour by bicycle, visiting temples and exploring winding stone pathways with your group of 15 or fewer. Climb to the top of Nohoch Mul, one of the region's tallest Mayan pyramids, and get a spectacular view (and snap a selfie!) from the apex.

Then, choose between two pre-dinner activities:

Option A: Cultural - Ceramics

Visit authentic Mayan villages and learn about how these traditional cultures craft everything from plant-based medicine to tortillas to elaborate ceremonial costumes. Learn ancient clay-making techniques during a ceramics class, and make a piece of your own to take home as a souvenir.

Option B: Adventure - Ziplining

Fly 100 feet (30 meters) over the Coba Lagoon on the region's longest zipline of 1,680 feet (512 meters). After your adrenaline-filled trip, cool off by swimming in a cenote, an underground swimming hole with crystal-clear freshwater and hundreds of stalactites and stalagmites.

After having fun culturally or outdoors, enjoy a typical regional meal of fresh salad, lobster or chicken, rice, beans, pasta, sauces, bread, and tortillas. Sip on aguas frescas and wine, and sample homemade flan for dessert. During dinner, take in a live show with music and dancing, an authentic Mayan ball game, and an acted scene from the sacred Mayan book, the Popol Vuh. Relax during the drive home, and get dropped back off at your hotel around 8:30pm to conclude the tour.
