17 Best Excursions and Day Trips from Playa del Carmen
Tulum
A bohemian escape full of Mayan ruins, boutique hotels, watersports, shopping, and beach clubs.
🗺️ Distance from Playa del Carmen: 1 hour | 📍 Google Maps | 👉 Tulum and Cenotes Tour from Playa del Carmen | Seaweed: Some seaweed / Sargasso may be involved
Why Visit Tulum: If we’re being honest, the Playa del Carmen beaches can’t compare to those in Tulum. The more laid-back answer to Playa del Carmen’s city vibe, Tulum is a bohemian escape full of Mayan ruins,boutique hotels, water-based adventures, and top-notch beach clubs.
Seriously though, the beaches – if you’re interested in being a total beach bum in Tulum, then our mega Tulum beach guide will help you find the perfect beach for you.
Meanwhile, Tulum town is a great place to go shopping, have a few drinks and socialize at a cool bar, or grab a bite at one of the many renowned restaurants. Tulum is also the perfect town to visit if you have a vegetarian or vegan diet – there are plenty of food options.
How to Get to Tulum from Playa del Carmen:
- ✨ Tour – If you like someone else to do the planning, you can take this reasonably affordable tour combining the Tulum ruins with several cenotes.
- 🚌 Bus – The Mexican bus company ADO has a route from downtown Playa del Carmen to either the Tulum ruins or Tulum town. Book tickets via BusBud if using a US credit card (which ADO won’t accept online).
- 🚗 Drive – While driving in the Yucatan can take some getting used to (not all road rules are necessarily followed), the road from Playa del Carmen to Tulum is fairly easy to navigate. Note that there are a lot of rental car scams in Mexico, which you can avoid by reserving through Discover Car Hire.
- 🚐 Colectivo – Colectivos are shared minibusses that are often much cheaper (and much more of an adventure) than the other options. There is a colectivo that goes from downtown Playa del Carmen to downtown Tulum town.
🕓 Length: Tulum is about an hour from Playa del Carmen, and is also a great base for day trips.

Why Visit Valladolid: Valladolid is a colorful inland city with plenty to do and see and is a great day trip from Playa del Carmen. While on the quieter side (compared to Playa del Carmen, anyway), Valladolid is bursting with culture and is a great place to go to get a real taste of local life in the Yucatan.
In Valladolid, you’ll find traditional Mayan restaurants, bustling markets, incredible cenotes, art exhibits, and some of the most beautiful cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula. Plus, Valladolid is nearby several major Mayan Ruins, including Chichen Itza and Ek Balam.

Xcaret is a good place to visit if you have kids, as they have tons of activities and attractions to keep all ages occupied. It’s also an incredibly easy day trip from Playa del Carmen, as it’s just a few minutes down the road.
On the other hand, do be aware that Xcaret gets PACKED with tourists in the holiday high season (over 1 million people visit each year) and also has drawn some controversy over its dolphin swimming attraction.

Why Visit Holbox: Though it’s a pretty full day if done as a day trip from Playa del Carmen (especially if you’re doing it independently), Isla Holbox is a picture-perfect destination.
A long, skinny island located in the North of the Yucatan, Isla Holbox is a largely untouched refuge full of boutique hotels and restaurants, crystal clear waters, and white sandy beaches. Not to mention, Holbox has put strict laws in place to protect it from plastic waste, resorts, and pollution.

A bustling island on the cruise ship route with plenty of shops, parties, and watersports experiences.
🗺️ Distance from Playa del Carmen: 2 hours | 📍 Google Maps | 👉 Isla Mujeres Tours from Playa del Carmen | Seaweed: No or minimal seaweed / Sargasso involved
Why Visit Isla Mujeres: To be honest, Isla Mujeres isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for a sleepy, relaxing island day trip from Playa del Carmen. Due to Isla Mujeres being firmly on the cruise ship route, the island can get pretty jammed with tourists at a moment’s notice.
Activities in Isla Mujeres (a name that translates to ‘Island of Women’) include scuba diving at the underwater art museum, visiting the lighthouses, snorkeling with colorful fish, and going swimming with whale sharks.
- 🚌 ⛴️ Bus & Ferry – To get to Isla Mujeres without a tour, take the Mexican bus company ADO from central Playa del Carmen to Cancun, and then take the ferry. The trip will take you about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Cozumel
An easy island day trip from Playa del Carmen with shops, restaurants, bars, and natural gems.
🗺️ Distance from Playa del Carmen: 45 minutes | 📍 Google Maps | 👉 Private Jeep Excursion in Cozumel | Seaweed: No or minimal seaweed / Sargasso involved
Why Visit Cozumel: Situated just a hop across the water, Cozumel is the easiest island day trip from Playa del Carmen. Also located on the cruise ship route, Cozumel can get busy fast – and has a lot of touristy shops, restaurants, and bars to accommodate the throngs. However, that’s not to say quality has been stripped away in favor of a tourist grab.
You can still find gems here, just expect to pay a little more for the luxury. As soon as you get away from downtown San Miguel de Cozumel, you’ll find some amazing sites to explore – in particular, Cozumel is known for its lush vegetation, diving spots, beaches, and a National Marine Park.
For especially clear water, take a boat tour to snorkel in El Cielo. And, of course, enjoy the fact that Cozumel tends to have significantly less sargassum (seaweed) than Playa del Carmen.

In addition to the main attraction, there are plenty of smaller ruins to check out and enjoy. Not to mention, there are plenty of sites at Coba that are still unexcavated – a fact that helps add to the mystique and vibe of the site.
How to Get to Coba from Playa del Carmen:

- 🚌 Bus – To get to Chichen Itza without a tour, take the ADO bus to Valladolid, and then catch another bus to Chichen Itza. This trip will take around 2.5 – 3 hours in total.
- 🚙 Drive – Alternatively, if you want to get to Chichen Itza a little faster, you can drive this route. Just be prepared for narrow roads and potential military checkpoints. Remember to use Discover Car Hire to avoid scams from local rental agencies.
