About Costa Mujeres

After you make your way from Tulum to Costa Mujeres, you will find yourself in the northern region of Quintana Roo on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Here, just north of Cancun, travelers from all over the world have started flocking to Costa Mujeres’ vast stretches of white sand and tranquil blue waters.

The area has become popular among travelers thanks to its prime location, only 30 minutes away from the vibrant Cancun nightlife, but still secluded and serene. The area is also within reach of fantastic day trip destinations such as Isla Mujeres, known for its marine adventures and array of luxurious beach bars.

Cost Mujeres was an important sacred site for the Mayans, and its name is thought to refer to the Goddess Ixchel (Mujeres translates to women in Spanish.) The settlement of the Costa Mujeres region dates back to around the 7th century AD, with archeological evidence of the veneration of the goddess found over the centuries.

The goddess Ixchel was associated with fertility and women’s health, which may be why the area now possesses such a strong spa and wellness culture. Religious pilgrims would have carried out migrations to Costa Mujeres in search of blessings or spiritual guidance, whereas now the area is more of a luxury travel destination for relaxation and secular wellness.

The association of Ixchel with the moon and the sea was honored through decorations and local handicrafts in colors such as rich blues and creamy whites, which is still evident today alongside nautical and celestial elements.

### Book activities and guides ahead Costa Mujeres can get fairly busy during the peak travel season, and if you have your heart set on certain days or times for guided excursions, it is important to book them in advance to avoid disappointment. This is particularly true for high-demand activities such as whale shark swimming on Isla Mujeres. ### Take advantage of sightseeing stops On the way from Tulum to Costa Mujeres, you pass by several incredible cenotes and other historical and cultural sites that are well worth exploring. With a Daytrip private driving transfer, you have the option to stop and enjoy some sightseeing before continuing to Costa Mujeres, which is a great way to experience even more of Mexico without committing to overnight stays or full-length day trips.

Great transfer option.

“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.”

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.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
