About this route
Akumal covers a handful of distinct areas along the coast, from the main Akumal Bay where sea turtles are commonly seen, to the quieter Half Moon Bay, the residential community of Aventuras Akumal, and Akumal Pueblo itself. Whichever part of Akumal your accommodation is in, the transfer from Cancun Airport covers the 105 km distance, about 85 minutes, in a single private vehicle.
Your driver checks your flight status ahead of time, so the pickup naturally shifts if your flight lands early or is delayed, with no additional charge. Meet and greet takes place in the arrivals hall with a name board held by your driver. There is no luggage limit per seat, useful if you are bringing snorkelling gear for Yal-Ku Lagoon or Aktun Chen, or heading to the Dos Ojos cenote nearby. Child seats can be arranged if requested at booking.
As Akumal is a mid-length route, booking a few days ahead is a good idea, although we try to accommodate later requests where possible. Payment can be made in USD, MXN or EUR by cash, card or bank transfer, with a fixed fare and no hidden waiting charges. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and tipping the driver is appreciated but optional.
