2.00Not worth the money. You spend forever driving from place to place and a short amount of time doing the activities. We spent 20 minutes in the water to see sea turtles and that was it. Tour guide was great!
Beautiful cenote and turtles!

5.00We went to the cenote which was very informative and fun. Then from there we went snorkeling looking for sea turtles and we got to see quite a few. From there we had a beachside lunch and it was delicious I had the beef burrito with French fries and it was awesome. Our tour guide Jesus was amazing from beginning to end of the day
Great experience! Just...

5.00Great experience! Just enough time at each place. Our tour guide Iker and our driver Luis were fantastic! Very informative and we knew what to expect every step of the way. You have to shower at the cenote site before going in- the water is COLD. Be ready! The snorkeling part you are driven out to the starting spot, jump off the boat and you swim back to the beach. We saw plenty of turtles along the way. Just know there is swimming involved. It’s not jump out, snorkel and get back in the boat. We saw a HUGE stingray and many turtles. Again - great tour, great guides/driver Iker & Luis.
Educational and fun
