WHAT TO EXPECT
You might expect a good day, but the truth is, it will likely be even better than you imagined.
We always aim to go beyond expectations. And here’s something interesting: although Cobá is the main attraction, many guests end up falling in love with the other experiences along the way.
Most tours head to Cobá mid-morning, but very few offer the chance to explore it peacefully, surrounded by the sounds of nature, not crowds.
We’ll arrive early enough to enjoy the ruins while they’re still quiet, shaded by the jungle canopy and fresh with morning air.
This changes the entire experience, you don’t just see Cobá, you feel it.
Pick-up is usually around 7:00 AM, depending on your location. We plan to arrive around 8:30 AM, depending on your pickup location.
We’ll have your tickets ready, so no need to wait in line. Just get ready for a unique journey through time and trees.
Inside the archaeological zone, we’ll travel through the jungle to reach the main pyramid deep in the jungle.
The path is about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) each way, and you can choose how to enjoy it:
🚲 Ride a bike (the most fun and flexible option, about 20 minutes each way).
🛺 Prefer to relax? Take a “Maya limousine”, a tricycle taxi with a driver pedaling for you.
🚶🏽 Or simply walk at your own pace, taking in the sounds and energy of the forest.
Our certified guide will share the story of Cobá with passion and depth, making every stop along the way come alive.
After the guided part, you’ll have time on your own to explore and take photos surrounded by nature.
After Cobá, it’s time to cool off in an open cenote, a peaceful, emerald-green lagoon where you can swim, snorkel, or just float and relax.
You can jump from the edge or enter slowly, whatever suits your vibe. Most people stay about 45 minutes, but we’re never in a rush.
But here’s the twist…
Even though most people come for Cobá, what they remember most is the underground river we visit at the end.
Many of our guests say this hidden gem is the highlight of the day, and that’s why we save it for last.
Snorkeling in this underground cave is like entering another world.
The water is unbelievably clear and glows with surreal shades of blue.
This is not your average snorkeling spot, it’s a place you’ll never forget.
Feel free to browse our photos and videos… and reach out if you have any questions.
And after such an amazing day, we can take you straight back to your hotel, or stop at a local restaurant if you’re hungry.
We’re happy to suggest delicious, honest spots to eat, or you can choose your own. It’s your day, your way.
Choose a private car for couples and small families, or a larger vehicle for your group. Our calculator accepts larger groups too, and we will help you find the right arrangement.
Regardless of the size, the quality of the experience and the attention to detail will always remain the same.
Your three stops are Cobá, Cenote Xunaan-Ha and the underground waters of Taak Bi Ha. An optional restaurant stop can follow. The ride and waiting time for lunch are included; food, drinks and desserts are paid separately.
Honor and respect come first. Book directly with Keshi, with no middleman, no booking deposit and no credit card information required. No hidden costs, no shopping stops and no hidden agendas.

Your itinerary
01Pickup at your hotel
Around 7:00 AM
Early mornings in Cobá are something special. The air is fresh, the light is soft, and the jungle is just waking up. Your private pickup time is confirmed for your hotel so we can enjoy the site before the busiest part of the day.
