Affiliate Disclosure

Every tour compared here, from the early Chichen Itza excursion to the Holbox island day, links to a live booking page. Reserve through one of those links and the booking network behind the listing pays this site a commission. That is the whole arrangement, and nothing else on these pages earns a cent.

How This Site Earns

The links on this site carry affiliate tracking. Click through, reserve the whale shark trip from Playa del Carmen or a Chichen Itza early access small group day, and the network processing that booking pays a commission here. Your price does not move. The whale shark day lists from $240, the market food tour with seven tastings from $79, and every other tour here costs the same with or without a tracking tag. Phone the operator's own office instead, the commission goes unclaimed, and your seat still costs the same.

Booked-tour commissions are the only income these pages have. No banner ads run beside the write-ups, no operator has bought a better position, and no tour bought its way onto the roster. The jungle buggy tour with cenote swim, holding a 5 rating across 1341 reviews, gets judged on what its guests wrote and what the itinerary includes, the same test applied to the $59 Isla Mujeres cruise with open bar and the $225.9 tequila and mezcal gourmet evening. Should money ever arrive another way, this disclosure changes first and the arrangement starts second.

Booking Without This Site

None of these tours requires this site. Every operator behind the Cozumel snorkeling day, the Sian Kaan dolphin trip and the Rio Secreto cave run has its own booking channels, and shops along Quinta Avenida sell excursions face to face. The comparisons exist to shorten the research: line up the from-prices, hours and review scores first, then choose your own route to the checkout.

Every excursion here can be reserved without us in the middle. A Cozumel reef snorkel boat and a street food walk through Playa del Carmen markets both open the same listing page a search turns up.

The Money Side

• Every booking link on this site is an affiliate link. Reserve a Chichen Itza early tour or a jungle buggy ride and we earn a commission from the operator, while you pay exactly the listed price.
• Commission terms stay flat across the catalog, so a $240 whale shark trip earns more than a $43.03 Cozumel ferry ticket because it costs more, not because it earns a push.
• No operator, from the Rio Secreto guides to the Holbox boat crews, has paid for placement, and no one can pay for a higher spot.
• Not every Playa del Carmen tour appears in our comparisons. If a Cozumel ferry or a Sian Kaan day trip is missing, that reflects editorial fit rather than any earnings consideration.
• No spot on this site goes to the highest bidder. A zipline outfit in the jungle foothills or a snorkel crew working the Cozumel reefs cannot buy a higher position, kinder wording, or a place in the catalog at all. Ranking follows the details each listing publishes, never a payment.

Where The Numbers Come From

Prices and ratings here match the booking page. The $93 from-price on the Chichen Itza, Valladolid and cenote day and the 5 rating across 1341 reviews on the jungle buggy run with cenote swim match what the live booking pages publish, with no rounding and no edits. Prices and terms shift without notice, so treat each number as a snapshot and confirm it on the live page before you pay.

Every from-price on this site is a per person figure, from the $34.05 Tulum ruins, cenote and Playa del Carmen combo up to the $240 whale shark day. Even the private cenote VIP run quotes $225 per person, not per group.

The Listing Has Final Say

What a tour includes is set by its listing, never by a summary here. Does the Cozumel snorkeling day include gear and lunch? Does the Akumal turtle swim provide fins, or does the food tour space its seven tastings across the whole walk? The live booking page settles all of it, and operators adjust their own cancellation windows freely, so read those terms there before paying.
