Viajes Tours Maya is a Mexico-based tour operator featured on The Adventure Collective that specializes in guided excursions across the Riviera Maya and Yucatán Peninsula. The company organizes more than sixty tours and experiences ranging from archaeological visits and cenote swims to catamaran sails, snorkeling, ATV and buggy adventures, and eco-park days. Many itineraries include well-known destinations such as Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Xcaret, Xplor and Xel-Há, plus private and customizable options labeled "Privado." Select tours advertise bilingual guides and private services, and several packages combine land and sea activities like snorkeling at coral reefs, visits to turtle bays, and cenote swims.
Viajes Tours Maya lists specific timed experiences including short highlights (for example, a three-hour Chichén Itzá Express), half-day park adventures, and longer full-day excursions. The operator offers luxury sailing and catamaran trips, family-friendly park visits, adrenaline-focused activities including ATV and canopy tours, and culturally focused itineraries to Mayan sites. Booking options span public group departures and private transfers or tours where noted. Since the business presents a broad catalog of excursions, travelers can select experiences by interest—snorkeling, archaeology, cenotes, jungle off-road, or eco-archaeological parks. The company’s presence on The Adventure Collective and detailed trip listings help travelers compare options, plan logistics, and book diverse Riviera Maya activities with transparent trip summaries and clear destination focus.
Selected excursions list included amenities — for example, Cenote Express Privado includes snorkeling gear and bilingual guides, and Chichén Itzá Express features a bilingual expert; airport round-trip transfers to Akumal are offered.
