Questions & Answers about Traveling from Akumal to Cancun

How far is Akumal from the Cancun airport?

Apart from the bus, Akumal transportation services will arrive at the Cancun airport in about 1 hour of driving time. A private car service will offer more departure times than the public bus or an Akumal shuttle service, which may be especially valuable to those with early flights.

Is there a shuttle from Akumal to Cancun Airport?

Several private companies offer a shared Akumal shuttle service that will group travelers together en route. Still, the most comfortable Akumal transportation service is Daytrip's private transportation, granting you more convenience and booking flexibility than an Akumal shuttle or other transportation services can.

How to get from Akumal to Playa del Carmen?

Travelers can take a bus, taxi, shuttle, or private transportation from Akumal to Playa del Carmen. The beach is only a half-hour's drive from Akumal; however, those continuing onto Cancun should consider stopping at Playa Delfines instead for less of a detour.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

Cancun to Tulum

“We had an absolutely amazing ride with Cuauhtemoc from Cancun to Tulum. The ride was smooth, on time and as a added bonus Temo was very informative about Cancun, Tulum and everywhere in between! By far he was the best driver we had the entire time! Also the van was very sanitized and we felt very safe . 5 stars and way to go from Andrew and Lara. Book with Daytrip and if you're lucky you will get Temo!”
