Ground Transportation

Buses and taxis are readily available in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, but can be more scarce in Akumal and other smaller communities. You should have a rental car if you will be staying in South Akumal, Soliman Bay or Tankah Bay.

Private transport can be a great option depending on your accommodations. Also, it works very well if you have staggered arrival times or dates within your group. If renting a car is not in your plans, or if you have an extra trip to the airport you would like covered, there are a few great options available. Below are links and information on some of our favorites. If you have any questions or would like more information, please e-mail us directly at info@akumaldirect.com.
