Should I Fly into Tulum or Cancun Airport for Bacalar?
Tulum, if the flights work. Bacalar is 345 kilometers from Cancún, roughly four and a half hours drive, compared to two and a half from Tulum, and the southern approach is the easier road as well as the shorter one.
Most guests still land at CUN, because it has more flights and direct routes, and it remains one of our most requested transfers. It does mean an afternoon on the road once you are through customs, though in a private car with a chauffeur who knows the way, the drive south is one of the better ones on this coast. There is time to take it in, to stop for lunch along the way, and to arrive rested and ready to explore Bacalar.
When the fares are close, Tulum gives you that afternoon back, and the same again on the way home.
Black Luxury Service provides private transfers to Bacalar from both airports. A greeter meets you inside the terminal, you choose the vehicle when you book, and the price is agreed before you travel.
