4 Exciting Things You Can Do In Tulum, Mexico

Tulum is considered one of the best tourist destinations in the world, and it’s easy to see why. From the incredibly well-preserved archaeological sites and underground river hidden beneath a canopy of stalactites to cave diving spots and pristine beaches, it’s a heaven for adventure seekers and travelers.

If you’re still not convinced, here are some of the exciting things you can do in Tulum.

GO CAVE DIVING

Tulum cave diving is hailed as one of the best in the world. The limestone bedrock and freshwater rivers underneath, which have carved out caves and denotes, have created incredible diving conditions. Sun illuminates the water, making it even clearer. 

Diving here will thrill even the most experienced divers, with challenging dives available. This is also an excellent location for beginner divers, with many novice classes offered. We recommend Casa Cenote for beginners, and for more experienced divers, the "Pet Cemetery" cenote promises adventure. Explore the deep blue in Tulum, with beautiful rays of light enhancing this natural beauty.

EXPLORE THE STUNNING BEACHES 

If you’re a beach-lover through and through, then there’s arguably no better place in Mexico to visit than Tulum. The shores of this formerly sleepy beach town are so idyllic that even the beach-averse will be thrilled by the idea of lounging around on the beach all day. One of the most iconic beaches in Tulum is the aptly named Playa Paraíso (Paradise Beach), which has stunning azure waters, practically-white powder sand, and plenty of swaying palms.

INDULGE IN THE OPULENT CULINARY HERITAGE

Tulum may not have the fish taco reputation of the Baja Peninsula or the taco tradition of Mexico City, but the food here is fresh, inventive, and to die for—especially the ceviche. If you’re a gourmand, this is one of Mexico’s top destinations for enjoying the culinary scene. Whether you like seafood or vegan and vegetarian options, there’s something to suit all tastes and palates in Tulum. Hartwood is a top choice, serving up a shifting menu each day according to the available products.
