How far is Riviera Maya from Cancún Airport and how long does it take?
The Riviera Maya is one of the world's most spectacular coastal strips, stretching from Puerto Morelos to Tulum along Mexico's Caribbean coast. With over 100 kilometers of white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and freshwater cenotes, it is the quintessential paradise of the Mexican Caribbean.
This region is home to some of the world's most exclusive resorts, including Rosewood Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Grand Velas, and many more. Each resort is a world unto itself, with signature gastronomy, world-class spas, and private access to pristine beaches.
With Tucker DMC Travel, your private transfer from Cancún Airport to any point along the Riviera Maya is guaranteed at a fixed rate from $55 USD. Our driver will monitor your flight and be waiting for you on time upon arrival.
The Riviera Maya corridor spans roughly 120 kilometers of Caribbean coastline from Puerto Morelos (km 19 south of CUN) to Tulum. Our private transfers serve the entire corridor with fixed rates per zone, so you always know your total before booking.
The main resort zones we serve include: Mayakoba (km 29.8), home to Rosewood, Fairmont, Andaz, and Banyan Tree; Playa del Carmen resort strip (km 35–50), including Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen and Viceroy; Puerto Morelos (km 20–35), a quieter alternative with Secrets Maroma and Zoëtry; and the central Riviera Maya zone (km 60–80), featuring Grand Velas, Iberostar Grand Paraíso, Barceló Maya Grand Resort, and El Dorado resorts.
Access to major cenotes — Dos Ojos, Cenote Azul, El Secreto — and theme parks — Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xenses — is easy from anywhere along the corridor, with most cenotes located 3–10 kilometers from the main highway. Our drivers know every access road and can advise on nearby attractions during your transfer.
