Top Ten Things to see & do in Tulum
1.Explore Sian Ka’an Bioshphere Reserve. This vast expanse of empty forest, mangroves and coral reef prove to be an ideal locale for hiking, snorkeling and kayaking.
​
2. Dive into a cenote. You will have a surprisingly chilly, amazing experience swimming in fresh water, stalagmite-laden caves.
3.Stroll the Tulum Ruins, a 13th-century Mayan archaeological site that overlooks the sea.
​
4. Hit the golf course. You will be delighted by the wide range of options available. Where else in the world can you walk among the Mayans while you take in a round of golf?
​
5. Spend a lazy day at one of the many beach clubs. Pack a book or two and you’ll be set for the day.
​
6. Take to the open waters. Fishing, snorkeling and diving experiences abound. In both Akumal and Tulum, you can rent fishing boats, take scuba lessons, and explore shipwrecks with expert divers.
7. Sip tropical smoothies and dine farm to table. Due to Tulum’s location, plentiful jungle produce is readily available, granting restaurants unmatched ability to craft delicious meals.
8. Book a spa day. Spas are luxurious and plentiful here. Schedule a yoga class, massage and/or traditional Mayan therapy session at the beach or in the jungle. Or both!
9. Rent a bike: the best way to see and hear the jungle.
10. Shop local. Plenty of shops line the beach road. Browse the stores for ethereal dresses, kaftans, leather sandals and handwoven clutches. Downtown shops carry traditional embroidered items and hammocks.
