Eco-Excursion Bus / Van Driver

Responsibilities

• Drive eco-lodge and boutique hotel guest groups to Yucatán excursion destinations — Chichén Itzá (2.5 hours), Cobá (45 minutes), Sian Ka'an Biosphere boat departures, cenote circuits
• Navigate Tulum's complex road system — jungle tracks, beach road, Sian Ka'an access highway
• Coordinate with eco-tour operator on departure timing and site logistics
• Maintain vehicle to eco-property standards — clean, reliable, and where possible, lower-emission options
• Execute early-morning cenote departures for pre-crowd access — 5:30–6am departures are common for premium cenote experiences
• Handle archaeological site parking and group logistics at Cobá and Tulum ruins
• Transport smaller groups (8–20 passengers) — Tulum's boutique market typically uses vans rather than full coaches

Requirements

• Valid driver's license — Class B minimum; Class C preferred for larger van formats
• Clean driving record
• Complete Tulum and Yucatán route knowledge including jungle and off-road access
• Basic English — Tulum's excursion guests are international
• Early-morning availability — pre-dawn departures are standard for quality Tulum cenote excursions
• Eco-values alignment — Tulum's market notices environmental behavior

Benefits

• IMSS, Aguinaldo, vacation + premium
• Organic meals on excursion days
• Uniform

Work environment

Tulum eco-terrain and Yucatán Peninsula excursion routes. The most navigationally demanding excursion driving environment in the Riviera Maya — unpaved jungle roads, pre-dawn departures, and terrain that changes with seasonal rainfall.

About the role

The pre-dawn guide. The Tulum guest who wants to be the first person in the Gran Cenote at 6am — before the tourist groups, while the underwater cave system is lit only by refracted morning light through the cenote mouth — is entirely dependent on a driver who knows the route before GPS has updated for the day. The Tulum eco-excursion driver who delivers that experience, reliably, in the dark, across jungle roads — is providing access to something genuinely extraordinary.
