Private Driver to Ek Balam Mayan Ruins + Hubiku Cenote departing Cancun, Playa Del Carmen & Riviera Maya Hotels
Are you tired of the same old tourist traps and want to do something unique during your Riviera Maya vacation? If you’re searching for the road less traveled – and a private experience – check out our Riviera Maya Private Ek Balam Mayan Ruins + Cenote Adventure! Restoration on the Ek Balam Mayan ruins began in the late 1990s, and the park opened shortly after that, so the site received nearly as many visitors as other locations. You’ll get bragging rights for being among the first to see the ruins, and then you’ll get to relax in a stunning cenote. How’s that for an excursion?
Because tours of Ek Balam are still relatively new, you won’t have to fight huge crowds when you arrive. You can casually walk from one structure to the next. The enormous buildings, ball game field, and other structures are mesmerizing, but the Ek Balam pyramid is the highlight. You will get the opportunity to climb the pyramid on this private Ek Balam tour. That’s one reason why it’s so important to go now. Climbing will likely be restricted after more tourists discover the Ek Balam ruins. As more and more people climb the pyramid, the risk of damaging the structure increases, so get your chance now while you can.
After you finish at Ek Balam, your driver will take you to the Hubiku Cenote. You will descend 115 steps to reach the water. Then, look up and take in the view from above. Natural light flows through the semi-open roof, forming a beam down to the center of the water. You will also see the tree roots that caused the roof to collapse, giving people access to this stunning cenote. You can float on your back while taking in the natural beauty around you. The Hubiku Cenote is so gorgeous that it’s hard to put into words. It is something you need to experience for yourself.
Our private tour lets you see two of the Riviera Maya’s top sights on your own time. Whether you need to travel from Cancun to Ek Balam, Playa del Carmen to Ek Balam, or from a hotel in Riviera Maya to the ruins, we can arrange the trip for you. Book a deal for this private Ek Balam tour today, so you can explore the ruins and swim in the cenote at a discount.

Cruise Ship Passengers: Ek Balam is too far to be reached in one day. For a list of Mayan Ruins available for cruise ship passengers, see our Cozumel Shore Excursions to Tulum & Coba.
Restrictions: Foldable wheel chairs are accepted in all vehicles. Vans with wheelchair ramps are available although prices may vary. Contact us for a quote! Keep in mind that some access to parts of the Mayan ruins may be limited.
Insider Tip: We suggest an early start! Exploring the Mayan Ruins can be exhausting once the sun is at its highest. If you’d rather start later, you can ask your driver to use the toll road for $40usd paid in cash. The toll road is an hour and a half faster than the federal road. Also, we highly recommend a quick stop to explore the colonial town of Valladolid or maybe a Tequila Distillery. Both stops can fit into the regular 12 hour itinerary.
Groups: If you have a larger group, we can arrange a private Ek Balam tour by motor coach. Just contact us for a custom quote!
Important Notes: You can hire a private guide at the entrance for 900 pesos for up to 25 people for a 90 minute guided tour. You can also explore on your own of course too. To use video cameras you have to pay a $3.50usd government video tax at the entrance.
