Ground Transport Services are available for small or very large groups of people. Generally speaking, one way travel between airport and Akumal costs between $75 US and $85.00 US for 3 people and up to $200.00 US for six. We would be happy to help with ground transport arrangements. This is offered only as a complimentary service to our clients therefore price is subject to change without notice. For more information, please e-mail us directly at info@akumaldirect.com.

Always be sure to have a printed confirmation voucher clearly stating the time and date of your service, the number of people in your group and the price you are to pay the driver. It is generally the custom to tip your driver if you happy with your service.

Please ask for special instructions in the off chance that you do not see your driver after clearing customs. Most agencies will provide an emergency contact or cell phone number.

It is also very easy to handle your transport independently if you feel comfortable. There are several reliable ground transport companies that you can contact directly. We prefer to work those listed below:

CDM Transportation A small private transport company that we have worked with for many years. Carlos de la Mora is a great guide and very reliable. Not a bad cook either.

Akumal Dive Center Very personal service, great for divers and people staying in Akumal. E-Mail them directly or contact Akumal Direct for Reservations and Pricing.
