Two days, two icons: the Chichén Itzá ruins with a guide and buffet on day one, then an Isla Mujeres catamaran with snorkelling and an open bar on day two. From $65 per person, it packs both Cancún wonders into one booking.
This 2-day combo pairs the Chichén Itzá ruins (day one: guide, cenote and buffet) with an Isla Mujeres catamaran day (day two: snorkelling, beach club and open bar aboard) from $65 per person.
It's great value if you have two spare days — but it is two full days, and the ruins day alone runs 12+ hours. If you only have one day, book a single-day tour instead.
Two distinct days — plan a night's rest between them.
Guided Chichén Itzá with a cenote swim and buffet lunch — a full 12+ hour day.
You return to Cancún; the combo covers the tours, not the night between.
Sail to Isla Mujeres with snorkelling, beach time and an open bar aboard.
Both days on a single reservation from $65 per person.
Real total cost. With the ~$40 ruins entrance fee, tips and any add-ons, the realistic total is roughly $145–190 per person for two full days of activities — strong value if your schedule has room for both.

If you have the time, day two costs less than most travellers pay for a catamaran on its own. If you do not, splitting the ruins and the sea across two dates is a scheduling problem rather than a bargain — book a single-day tour instead.
Practical advice that applies to this tour and every other way of visiting the ruins — the entrance fee, what to wear and pack, site rules, timing and cash.
Pro tip: bring exact change in pesos to avoid bad gate exchange rates.
Pro tip: shade is limited — it hits 32°C / 90°F by midday.
Pro tip: regular sunscreen is banned in cenotes — only reef-safe is allowed.
Pro tip: bring only a small daypack — larger bags get stored at the entrance.
Pro tip: on Mar 21 & Sep 21 the famous "serpent shadow" appears on the pyramid.
Pro tip: exchange money downtown or at your hotel — airport rates are the worst.

Three alternatives to weigh against this one — see the full comparison of all seven.
The VIP Chichén Itzá tour from Cancún is the highest-reviewed option at $93 per person — hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, the ruins, a cenote swim, Valladolid and a buffet lunch, all included.
The All-Inclusive Chichén Itzá tour from Cancún at $192 per person is the only tier that bundles the ~$40 entrance fee — so nothing is left to pay on the day.
The most independent way to reach Chichén Itzá from Cancún at $28 per person one-way, about $57 for both legs — an air-conditioned coach with a bathroom, about 3.5 hours each way.
