Mayan Ruins of Tulum and Kaan Luum Lagoon

  • Zenith view of turquoise lagoon
From 155
Explore the Tulum ruins—perched right over the turquoise ocean—followed by a swim in the less-frequented Kaan Luum lagoon.
On this tour, you’ll navigate the remains of the ancient ruins of Tulum—like the pyramid temple of El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes and the Templo Dios del Viento (God of the Winds Temple). After the ruins, head to the exotic and often overlooked Kaan Luum lagoon for a scenic and leisurely swim. Hidden in the Mayan jungle, Kaan Luum has a deep cenote in the center, which causes the rims of the lagoon to be a totally different, seafoam-green color from the center.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
