5.00This excursion is such an experience! First the driver and Aura our tour guide was amazing ! She was so passionate and informative and the turtle and the cenote ! She also made sure to care for us the entirety of the tour. We were able to spend time viewing 4 different Sea Turtles in the natural setting. We also came across many other sea-life. The cenote tour was beautiful and refreshing. Aura was telling us many facts throughout and it was great. I highly recommend this excursion to those that are looking for something different and beautiful!

5.00Probably the best tour ever. We've got to see multiple turtles and swim in the Cenote. Absolutely a must do experience. Ruben was amazing. He took very good care of us as we are not the best swimmers, Highly recommend the tour and Ruben as a guide.
Five stars for Ruben!
