    Amber

    Asked on August 6th, 2026

    Is transportation or a flight available from Playa del Carmen to Cancun Airport?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten August 2026

      A departure transfer is available from Hotel Casa de las Flores to Cancun Airport (CUN) for USD 105.

  • A

    Anne

    Asked on July 24th, 2026

    How do travellers get from the final destination - Playa Del Carmen back to Mexico City? As a female single traveller, what must I book for this trip?

    Flights / Transfers
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2026

      For the flights, most travellers will fly in/out of the starting/ending locations. So for this trip you'd fly into Mexico City (airport code MEX) and for the end of the trip the best airport to leave from would be Cancun (airport code CUN). Intrepid offers a pre-arranged departure transfer service to Cancun International Airport at an additional fee. If you need to return to Mexico City at the end of the trip, you'd just have to book a domestic flight to get there.

      All that would really need to be booked for the trip would be your flights. If you'd prefer not to share a room with another solo female on the trip then we'd recommend purchasing the single supplement. Then depending on your flights and when you're choosing to travel we can also book pre/post accommodation for you and arrival/departure transfers.

    The tour says it finalizes in Cozumel, but the last day indicates Playa del Carmen. According to how the tour is indicated, the trip to Cozumel by ferry is optional and has a cost, is that correct?

      None of the activities featured in this trip require special training or skills, just a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to participate. Cobblestones and uneven roads are common and you may be required to walk in hot and humid conditions. One thing to note is some travel days will be long, reaching up to 8 hours. Occasional breaks are built in to help reduce the long travel times but it is something to note.
