Private car transfer from Tulum to Cancun

The best time to visit Cancun is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. You can expect sunny weather and comfortable temperatures ideal for outdoor activities. Hurricane season is June to November, and while hurricanes are rare, you may experience heavy storms. Some amenities and activities may even be closed due to the weather.

Some popular water activities in Cancun include snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, parasailing, jet skiing, and swimming with dolphins. Equipment rentals and instructors are available, but it is best to book ahead of time to save some money and ensure it is available!

The currency used in Cancun is the Mexican peso. However, US dollars are widely accepted at most tourist establishments - though often at an unfavorable exchange rate.

The official language of Cancun is Spanish, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. You will have no trouble finding staff who speak a variety of the world's most common languages.

Cancun is generally considered a safe destination for travelers. However, it's always important to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded tourist areas. Hiring a private driver from Daytrip who has been personally interviewed and vetted is worth the cost to ease your mind about your trip from Tulum to Cancun.

Cancun offers plenty of family-friendly activities, including visiting water parks like Xcaret and Xel-Ha, exploring eco-parks, and enjoying boat tours to nearby islands. Many all-inclusive resorts have children’s camps and activities, so ask ahead of time to ensure your child has a spot. Cancun’s Interactive Aquarium is another great way to spend the day with the little ones in your family.

Cancun is a sunny and warm destination, so sunglasses, a water bottle, and a wide-brimmed hat are a must. Anything else you pack will depend on the activities you want to do. If you are planning any jungle or archeological site tours, then long sleeve shirts and pants will protect you from insects and the sun. Make sure your clothing is breathable and comfortable. All snorkeling and surfing items can be rented in Cancun, so no need to worry about fitting a surfboard into your suitcase! We recommend waiting to buy your sunscreen and insect repellent until you get to Cancun because you will need reef-safe products to protect the natural environment and follow the local law. Cancun’s stores will definitely have compliant skin protection, but you may have a hard time finding it at your store back home.
