What times are pickups available? I'm assuming it is from Cancun airport vs Tulum. We're flying from San Diego (probably Tijuana) so it's hard to get there before late afternoon. We could fly a day early but I'm guessing we'd still be on our own for getting to the hotel. Also, it isn't clear whether transport to the airport from Tulum on the last day is included. If so, which airport? If we're on our own, I assume it is better to fly from Tulum.

The complimentary arrival transfer is included from Cancún International Airport to the joining hotel in Playa del Carmen. There are no fixed pickup times, the transfer is arranged according to the flight details provided, including late-afternoon arrivals. It is also included if you arrive up to three days early, provided your pre-tour accommodation is booked through G Adventures at the joining hotel. The departure transfer from Tulum is not included but can be arranged at an additional cost. You may therefore choose to fly from Tulum or Cancún, depending on your preferred flight options.
