What you will be doing
Starting at our meeting point to get your bike, an expert guide will brief you and give you water, helmet, fruit & snacks before a 10-minute cycle takes us to the exceptional Mayan ruins of Tulum.
Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, your guide will lead you through the fascinating history of Tulum, including the Temples of Wind, Water and the Sun, as well as to the best panoramic viewpoints for photo opportunities. Starting early and traveling by bike means we will be one of the first groups inside, beating the heat and the crowds! We stay off the main roads and use the bike path whenever possible, meaning you don't have to worry about traffic.
After our trip through Mexico's past, we will come back to the present, cycling past some of the freshest street art in the hip & bustling pueblo, observing how the mix of tradition and authentic culture combine with the modern, contemporary style, getting a feel for the particular vibe that represents Tulum.
Finally, we will take you to our favourite taco joint. Great service & great flavours, this place has signature local dishes as well as well-known favourites, and of course, a range of killer salsas to complement the tacos. Wash it all down with fresh juice or fruit water, then a short ride back to our office.

We have a zero waste programme: we do not use plastics in our tours - instead, we use refillable water bottles and bring homemade snacks in Tupperware boxes. We also have a recycling and composting programme. We select small, locally owned providers (Cenotes, Sian Kaan, food, restaurants, accommodation) to support local communities, and our team participates in beach/town clean-ups each year We financially support local organisations such as Movida Maya (empowering Mayan kids), Alma Animal (shelter for cats and dogs) and a local kids’ football team (Titanes).
