This private tour is designed for your group only.
You travel in a private vehicle with a flexible schedule and a personalized experience.
Private A/C vehicle collects you from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or the Riviera Maya. Your naturalist guide briefs you on the day's route through the Coba jungle zone.
Guided walk through the main temple clusters, ball court, and sacbeob (raised white roads) beneath the jungle canopy. Nohoch Mul pyramid base and surrounding structures at a flexible private pace.
Hike with your guide into the forest around Coba to spot wild spider monkey troops in the canopy. Sightings are not guaranteed, but morning visits have the highest success rate.
Cool off in a freshwater cenote near Coba before the return drive. Life jackets available; biodegradable sunscreen required.
Return to your hotel by mid-afternoon, approximately 4:30 PM depending on departure point.

Our kids loved spotting spider monkeys in the trees after Coba. Private pace meant we weren't rushing between stops, and the cenote at the end was the perfect cooldown.

The naturalist guide knew exactly where the monkey troops were active. Coba felt quiet compared to Chichen Itza, and having the vehicle to ourselves made the long drive worthwhile.

Seeing wild spider monkeys near Coba was amazing. The guide was patient, knowledgeable, and really cared about the wildlife. The ruins were beautiful too.
