We don't show a duration: the listing says "3 hours", which doesn't fit its own itinerary.
Who should skip it: anyone in Cancún on a weekday only, since there's no departure from Cancún except on Saturdays.

Questions before you book
Is the entrance fee included?
Yes. The listing includes both the Cobá entrance and the cenote entrance. The official Cobá fee is MXN 210 (MXN 105 for Mexican nationals and foreign residents), so you won't pay it at the gate. Tips are the only listed extra.
Which days does it run?
From Cancún on Saturdays only; from the Riviera Maya on Tuesdays and Saturdays, per the listing.
Can I climb the Nohoch Mul pyramid?
INAH allows the climb from 8:00 to 15:30, up to 15 people per group, for up to 15 minutes on top. The listing doesn't say whether the tour's timing allows it. Ask the operator.
How long is the day?
The listing says 3 hours, but that doesn't match its itinerary, so we don't publish a duration. Check the itinerary on Viator.
Cobá or Chichén Itzá?
On our list, Cobá is the option with entrance, lunch and drinks included (from US$159). For Chichén Itzá, the all-inclusive Chichén Itzá tour is from US$135 with all taxes and fees. The budget Chichén Itzá tour is from US$39, but without admission or lunch.
