5.00We had a fabulous day at Akumal beach swimming alongside sea turtles, followed by an awesome cenote experience! Our tour guide Jessi G, driver Luis, and photographer Dani were all very wonderful. I am a non-swimmer but Jessi took great care of me and made me feel at ease the whole time. Our family of four (two grown-up boys) had such an amazing time! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Riviera Maya!

5.00The entire tour was well put-together. Santiago and his team did a great job managing a rougher current on the ocean than usual, and we were able to see all sorts of wildlife,including turtles.
