Cancun Airport to Puerto Morelos Transfer
Puerto Morelos is the closest Riviera Maya destination to the airport: about 36 km and 25 to 40 minutes. Many travellers choose it for exactly that reason — no half day lost on the road on arrival or departure.
The detail worth knowing is that Puerto Morelos is really two areas about 2 km apart: the neighbourhood beside highway 307, and the town with the port and the beach. Beach hotels and the all-inclusives along the cenote road are in quite different spots.

What to know about this destination
- Specify whether your accommodation is in the town (by the pier) or on the 307: two very different addresses under the same place name.
- Being a short trip, this is where a customs delay shows most. We still hold your slot and wait — the included waiting time is the same as on any other route.
- Staying on the cenote road? Let us know: those are inland tracks with no street lighting, and it is better to arrive in daylight.

What about the other ways to get there?
ADO bus
Highway 307 buses do not enter Puerto Morelos town: they stop at the highway junction, about 2 km from the beach. From there you need a local taxi, which in high season can take a while.
Airport taxi
Workable given the short distance, but the fare is agreed on the spot and usually exceeds the fixed price of a transfer booked in advance.
Questions about this transfer
How long does it take from Cancun Airport to Puerto Morelos?
Between 25 and 40 minutes. It is the closest Riviera Maya destination to the airport and the whole drive is on highway 307, with no urban sections.
Is the price the same for the town and the highway area?
Yes, both areas fall in the same fare zone. What matters is telling us your exact address so the driver does not head to the wrong one.
Is booking worth it for such a short trip?
Mostly for the return. Leaving Puerto Morelos for the airport there is little spontaneous transport available, especially before dawn, and an unbooked taxi usually costs more.
Can you take us to a hotel on the cenote road?
Yes. We need the exact property name because those are inland tracks; if the access is very far in we confirm it with you before finalising the booking.
