Playa del Carmen · LUNCH EXPERIENCES
47 tours reviewed
On a full day out of Playa, lunch is either a good buffet in a Mayan village or a sad roadside stop, and the listing rarely tells you which. Below are the day trips that feed you properly: what is on the table, whether drinks are in, and how much of the price the meal is really covering.
Chichén Itzá, cenote swimming, tequila tasting, and Valladolid on a 12-hour tour from Cancun with lunch and optional hotel pickup.
“I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. All of the activities were enjoyable, well guided and timed out perfectly. Ramiro was the star of the show and was an attentive and informative guide. The food at Chichikan was also excellent.”
Chichén Itzá plus Cenote Chichikán and Valladolid on a 12-hour guided tour from Cancun. Skip lines, tequila tasting, optional lunch.
“Great experience. We have a great time with Pastor and Victor adventuring into mexcoan culture. They gave great insight and information about the history and took us around the 7 wounder and it was a great bucket list experience. Would highly recommend.”
ATV jungle rides, zipline canopy views, hanging bridges, cenote Verde Lucero swim, plus tequila tasting and tacos in Cancun.
“Great experience. So much fun. The guides are great. They take care of the guests all the time 10/10. Moto moto is the best guide ever!”
ATV through the jungle, zip lines over treetops, and a cenote swim, plus tequila tasting and tacos, with hotel pickup and insurance.
“The good and the bad. First the good- the cenote swim was the best part just wish it was for longer. The tequila tasting was cool as well. Now the bad- the atvs are just riding In a complete straight line that you just keep turning around and you keep doing the same thing over and over again. The atv’s are also very out dated. The ziplines are just three tiny ziplines barely off the ground. The worst part though is they try to ask you to tip on every little aspect of your experience. Like no joke every area we went to the tour guilds are giving you some…”
Catamaran to Isla Mujeres with an open bar, snorkeling, and Playa Norte beach-club time. Explore the island for about $59.
“Truly amazing experience!! We went as a family of 5 and the whole experience was superb! The staff were so accommodating and made our trip thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you so much!!”
Snorkel Arrecife El Meco, swim at Playa Norte, and explore Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with open bar and lunch included.
“We drove ourselves. Semi valet parking, check in was like everything else with lots of people. Crowded but organized. In my very humble opinion, this was OUR party boat. It didn’t seem like many other people wanted to party but with the good music my husband and I danced and drank the entire way. Husband said snorkeling was a bit rushed and there wasn’t much to see (I didn’t do it). Buffet was decent. Understanding that all boats stop at this location, their purpose is quantity over quality. I’m not mad about it. I had tortillas, spaghetti and chicken. Just what I needed to keep me going for the party…”
Tulum ruins, Magical cenotes, and lagoon snorkeling from Playa del Carmen, with hotel pickup, gear, snacks, and beachside lunch.
“Great and wonderful tour! Our guide Iker was amazing and super friendly! Highly recommend this tour!”
Half-day Great Maya Reef snorkeling from Cancun, plus Puerto Morelos time and beachside lunch at Boquinete. Hotel pickup included.
“Excellent activity, well coordinated. Pick up at hotel on time toPuerto Morelos, keeps it townish aspect. Very professional guide, captan and team. Pleasent snorkeling in shallow reef with time to enjoy. Later tekila tasting, and a very nice snack/lunck of tacos in a cozy restaurant by the beach.”
ATV 4x4 trails, guided snorkeling from shore, tequila and chocolate tasting, plus a beach club lunch in Cozumel. Pickup included.
“ATV was fun, but would like a little more mud. Food was also very good and satisfying. Our guide, Pedro Yam, was awesome and very friendly.”
Early Tulum and Coba with a guided cenote cave swim, plus chocolate and tequila tastings, buffet lunch, and hotel pickup from Cancun.
“Well worth day, guided by Audomaro and his friend, our driver! I could do it all over again! Despite pickup being late due to thunder storms and floods the previous night all well amazingly well. Communication with Amigo tours is flawless and they inform you about every little change like of the pick os even 5 min late but anyway... Van that drove us around very comfortable and clean. Knowledge of the guide exceeded expectations (Audomaro after a little chat gathered that I have extensive knowledge of Mayans) Our guide was on top of that very kind and approachable. Tulum and Coba was great as well as the lunch (not…”
Swim in a Maya cenote near Tulum, snorkel Akumal sea turtles, then chill with lunch at a beach club for about half a day.
“Swimming with the turtles was amazing! This was also outr 3rd cenote and this was likely our favorite one. Beautiful, mysterious space with lots of interesting passages, including a few tight squeezes. Very clean water and incredible history. Our guide, Omar, even had us sit in the dark for one minute and listen to the space around us - a very surreal experience. The lunch at the end was a nice cap to an amazing day. About Omar (and our driver, Julio) - they are the best! We have had MANY guides over the years and Omar is knowledgeable, fun, and very personable. I highly recommend this tour!”
Private Chichen Itza day with a licensed guide, sacred cenote swim, Valladolid lunch, and comfortable round-trip Riviera Maya pickup.
“We had a great day at Chichen Itza with Alberto. The day was extremely smooth- on time pick up, clean comfortable vehicle with breakfast and drinks at the ready. He provided excellent information throughout the day complete with pictures etc. The lunch at the cenote was outstanding- better than the food at our resort. I can't recommend this tour and Alberto highly enough.”
Small-group Cancun cenote adventure with breakfast, lunch, wine, kayaking, snorkeling, rappel, and zipline across four unique sinkholes.
“This was a great experience with a lot of different water activities. Our guide Santiago was very personable and the group I was with was fun! Great for families! Can recommend this tour!”
Chichén Itzá, Cenote Saamal swim, and Valladolid in one 13-hour day from Playa del Carmen. Lunch, guides, and transport included.
“Overall tour was good. Very passionated guides both with the bus and the one Chichen Itza. The company is actually one of the few or only fully mayan-owned here in Cancun”
