Your transfer to Tankah Park
This page helps you plan your visit to Tankah Park: what it is, opening hours and how to get there. Tickets are bought from the operator. What you book with us is the private round-trip transfer, at a fixed price per vehicle.
What is Tankah Park?
It is an eco-park in the jungle north of Tulum, over the area's underground river system. A Mayan community living on the land handles upkeep, crafts and food. The visit is a guided tour that links several cenotes with trails, ziplines and a canoe ride.
The largest cenote is Naval: you cross it on a zipline and paddle back by canoe. At Cueva, a semi-open cenote, the zipline ends with a drop into the water, and there is a diving platform. Cenote Azul is for an easy swim in clear water.
Don't confuse it with Tankah Bay, the strip of beach and oceanfront homes a few miles north, or with Casa Cenote, which sits on that bay. The park is on the jungle side of the highway, with no beach.
Compared with the big Riviera Maya parks, Tankah is smaller and rustic: fewer people, regional food cooked by the community, and fewer facilities.

How to get to Tankah Park
Tankah is at km 233 of Highway 307, about 10 minutes north of downtown Tulum. It is about 45 minutes from Playa del Carmen and around 1 h 45 min from the Cancun Hotel Zone. You can take a colectivo van and ask to be dropped at the entrance, but then you walk the access road and wait on the highway to get back.
A private transfer drops you at the park entrance and picks you up at the time you set, which helps because you leave wet and tired from the ziplines. From Cancun or Playa del Carmen it also saves you changing vehicles in Tulum.
