Transporation

Flying In

  • Cancún International Airport (CUN): This is the most popular option. It’s about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive to Tulum (118 km/73 miles).

  • Tulum International Airport (TQO): Recently opened, Tulum's own airport offers a more direct arrival for visitors. However, flight availability may be limited compared to Cancún.

The best way to explore Tulum and its surroundings is by renting a car. It gives you the freedom to visit the beach, cenotes, and nearby attractions at your own pace without relying on set schedules.

Taxis are a convenient alternative, but can be pricey—make sure to agree on the fare before starting your ride. For shorter distances, bicycles are a fantastic option, letting you soak up Tulum’s laid-back vibe while getting around town and the beach area. Whatever you choose, getting around Tulum is part of the adventure!
