How it works
- Book on the cancunnation.com form or on WhatsApp. We need your flight, your hotel, the date and how many people are traveling.
- We track your flight. If it is delayed, the driver waits.
- We meet you inside the terminal with a name sign: at Terminals 1, 2 and 4, at the Welcome Bar; at Terminal 3, at the Margaritaville Bar.
- You go straight to your hotel and pay the driver in cash, in pesos or US dollars.
On a round trip, on your departure day we pick you up at your hotel's main entrance and take you to the airport.
Private full-day tours
We also run private full-day tours to the peninsula's archaeological sites and cenotes: Chichén Itzá, Cobá, Ek-Balam, Tulum and Akumal. Certified guide, entrance fees and lunch included. Because they are private, you leave when you want, stop where you want, and never wait for a group. Tours are priced per person: the more people in the van (up to 8), the less each one pays. Chichén Itzá and Tulum have their own pages with prices: the private Chichén Itzá tour and the private Tulum tour; Cobá, Ek-Balam and Akumal are quoted on WhatsApp. Group bus excursions to Chichén Itzá and Tulum are also available as a lower-cost option.
Private yacht to Isla Mujeres
Yachts for up to 8, 10 or 12 people, and larger ones on request. Six hours of service that can be extended, with complimentary drinks, and you choose the departure time. The price is per yacht, not per person. The dock fee (250 pesos per person), the crew tip and transportation to the dock are paid separately. See the yacht prices.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best transportation option from Cancún Airport to my hotel?
A private transfer booked in advance, like Cancún Nation, is the safest and most comfortable option: you avoid haggling over prices on the street, you get a fixed price before you even arrive, and a bilingual driver waits for you with your name inside the airport.
How much does transportation from Cancún airport to the hotel cost?
A private round-trip transfer from Cancún Airport to the Hotel Zone or Riviera Maya generally costs between 1,600 and 3,700 Mexican pesos per vehicle, depending on the destination and number of passengers.
How long does the transfer from the airport to Cancún's Hotel Zone take?
The trip from Cancún Airport to the Hotel Zone takes between 20 and 40 minutes depending on traffic and the exact hotel location. To Playa del Carmen it's about 60-75 minutes, and to Tulum around 2 hours.
Is a private tour better than a group tour to Chichén Itzá?
A private tour lets you leave on your own schedule, avoid group waiting times, and customize stops — ideal for families or anyone who prefers comfort. A group tour is usually more affordable but with fixed schedules and less flexibility.
Do I need to book transportation in advance?
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability, although Cancún Nation generally has a vehicle available at the airport for last-minute requests.
Do the drivers speak English?
Yes, all of our drivers and guides are bilingual (Spanish and English).
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor your flight status, so if it's delayed, we adjust your pickup time at no extra cost.
How long is the Chichén Itzá tour from Cancún?
The full tour, including the round-trip drive, generally takes between 8 and 10 hours.
