About Cancun
The Mayans inhabited the Cancun area from around 2,000 BCE until the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. They were skilled as architects, astronomers, and traders. The Yucatan Peninsula is dotted with evidence of their impressive cities and temples. You’ve likely heard of Chichen Itza, and maybe smaller sites like the El Rey ruins, which you can visit on your transfer from Puerto Aventuras to Cancun.
The Spanish conquest brought disease and violence, causing a sharp decline in the Mayan population. For centuries, the Yucatan Peninsula remained relatively remote and sparsely populated, with small fishing villages scattered along the coastline.
Cancun’s transformation began in the 1960s when the Mexican government unveiled ambitious plans to create a world-class resort destination on the Caribbean Sea’s shores. With its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and abundant sunshine, Cancun was destined to become a tropical paradise. It just needed the infrastructure.
The government heavily invested in developing Cancun’s tourism industry, and in 1970, the first hotel, Playa Blanca, opened its doors in what is now the Hotel Zone. This marked the beginning of Cancun’s ascent as a premier tourist destination. As decades passed, Cancun experienced rapid growth and development, attracting millions of visitors from around the globe each year.
Today, Cancun is a bustling resort city offering a wealth of modern amenities. Its nightlife, culinary scene, and recreational activities make it a magnet for travelers of all tastes and budgets.
From Puerto Aventuras to Cancun: travel tips
As you plan your trip, these tips will help your Puerto Aventuras to Cancun transfer go off without a hitch.
Keep your insect repellent and sunscreen nearby
If you stop by the cenotes or wildlife reserve, you will want to reapply your sunscreen and insect repellent for maximum comfort and skin protection. These products have to meet reef-safe standards on the Yucatan Peninsula. If you don’t have reef-safe products, don’t worry, any sold in and around the resorts are compliant.
Book everything ahead of time
Don’t leave your trip to chance, especially if you are heading to the airport. It may seem like last-minute taxi and shuttle options are endless on the resorts, but your flight is too important to risk missing it.
And if you're spending a bit more time in Cancun before departing, make sure you book any activities in advance. Those sunset boat trips and snorkeling tours fill up!
How to get from Puerto Aventuras to Cancun
Daytrip has you covered with two options for your Puerto Aventuras to Cancun transfer: travel on a shared shuttle bus with 9 of your fellow vacationers or let a private driver take you all over the coast. Which will you pick?
Puerto Aventuras to Cancun shuttle bus
Daytrip has shuttle bus services 5 times per day from Puerto Aventuras to Cancun. Our air-conditioned vans hold up to 8 passengers and will get you safely to your resort or the Cancun airport. Drivers are local professionals who know the Mexican driving laws and customs.
Our English-speaking drivers and 24/7 customer support line mean maximum communication and clarity for all parties. Puerto Aventuras to Cancun shuttle bus seats start at $17 and we have a variety of ticket types to fit everyone’s budget.
Puerto Aventuras to Cancun with a private driver
For maximum privacy and flexibility, we recommend hiring a private driver for your transfer to Cancun. Not only can you personalize the trip to your schedule, but you can also add sightseeing stops to local attractions outside of the resorts. This option is great for families or those traveling with pets.
Puerto Aventuras to Cancun by public bus
There is no direct bus service between Puerto Aventuras and Cancun. All bus rides require that passengers transfer in Playa del Carmen. If you choose to take the bus, the trip will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. While buses are frequent, you do not want to rely on them to get you to the airport on time. Buffer in at least an hour more to account for any road traffic or delays. Tickets start at $4, but you do pay with your time and comfort.
Things to do when you get to Cancun
Cancun is bigger with more amenities than the smaller resort towns like Puerto Aventuras, so come prepared to try them all. After your Puerto Aventuras to Cancun transfer, drop your bags off at the hotel and have fun!
Snorkel and dive into a whole new world
Explore the world’s second-largest coral reef system on a snorkeling or diving adventure to the Great Mayan Reef. It spans 620 miles (1,000 km) along the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, down the coast of Belize and Guatemala to the northern shore of Honduras. Second in size only to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, it has a diverse array of marine life, including a significant population of manatees and other endangered species.
Instructors will teach you the essentials and guide you to this critically endangered ecosystem. It is home to more than 65 species of stony coral and 500 species of fish, so try to spot as many unique species as you can!
Go dancing in Cancun
Puerto Aventuras keeps it calm in the evenings, but certainly not Cancun! Dance to live music, Reggaeton beats, and techno at one of Cancun’s many nightclubs and bars.
Lay out on Cancun’s white sand beaches
Feeling worn out from all that snorkeling and dancing? No problem—Cancun's world-renowned beaches await with their powdery white sands that extend as far as the eye can see. Lay down a towel and take in the waves from your cozy spot under a shaded umbrella.
Have a dip in the cenotes
Cenotes are natural sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water and formed over thousands of years. They are found all over this region of Mexico and each one is unique. Dive, snorkel, or simply admire the surreal beauty of these freshwater ponds.
If you book Daytrip’s private care service, you can go directly to Cenote Chaak Tun and Cenote Las Mojarras during your transfer. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary experience!
When is the best time to visit Cancun
The best time to visit Cancun is during the dry season, which spans from late November to April. During your Puerto Aventuras to Cancun transfer, you can expect sunny skies, warm temperatures, and minimal rainfall. This weather is perfect for lounging on a beach chair, playing volleyball, and going on outdoor adventures to cenotes. Keep in mind, however, that this is also peak tourist season, so be prepared for higher prices and larger crowds.
If you prefer quieter beaches and cooler temperatures, book your trip during the shoulder months of May-June or September-October. Although hurricanes rarely hit Cancun directly, the hurricane season runs from June to November. You might encounter heavy rainfall and tropical storms, and some activities may be canceled due to the weather.

Why people love Daytrip
- 291 travelers took this route with us
“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“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.”
Best transport company anywhere
“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
Excellent experience in traveling
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
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.”
“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.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
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.”
“Exceptional service. Comfortable, safe for a female traveling alone. Reasonably priced. It was my first time in Cancun, Mexico. My Spanish was limited, nice to have someone speak english and give you direction at the sites I booked them twice on my trip, with tours on the way to my destination.”
“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!”
