Where Akumal sits on the highway

Akumal is a small bay town between two places we drive every day: Puerto Aventuras, which runs 55-65 minutes from CUN, and Tulum, which runs 90-110 minutes. Akumal falls between the two on the same road. Traffic through Playa del Carmen is what moves the number on any given day, so tell us your resort and your flight and we will confirm the pickup time for your arrival rather than quoting you an average.

Akumal Bay and the turtles

Akumal Bay is one of the few places on this coast where green sea turtles feed in shallow water close to shore, which is why most visitors come. Access is regulated and the bay has set entry hours, so an early arrival is worth more here than almost anywhere else on the Riviera Maya — another reason a private, direct transfer beats waiting for a shuttle to fill.
