Once in a Life time Experience

This excursion we went on made our entire trip. Our guide was Daniel, our driver Alex and our photographer Victor and they were all amazing. We felt safe and uncomfortable the entire time with Alex driving, Daniel was extremely knowledgeable about everything and Victor took some amazing pictures we happily purchased. The jungle was BEAUTIFUL with the smoke coming through the trees to help rid the bugs and really set the setting. It was extremely beautiful and the cenotes themselves were stunning. Being able to walk through and explore one and swim through another was a once in a lifetime experience. Lunch was served in the jungle and was some of the best food we had in Mexico. And to top everything off to go swimming with sea turtles was just perfect. If you’re looking for an AMAZING experience and time while on the area, I couldn’t recommend anything better. EXTREMELY WELL PRICED.
Great family activity

Absolutely fabulous activity to do with a family. We have 5 kids ages 8-16 and they loved it. It was fun to see the turtles in their natural environment. The guides were very helpful and assisted my younger ones. Everyone is required to wear a life jacket and for my younger ones they had a floatation device that they held onto to make the snorkeling easier. My younger kids are not the strongest at snorkeling, but with their help and once we got going they settled right in and loved it. Totally get the picture/video package! It is amazing how well they captured this experience. Then we went to the cenote. And I have been to many cenotes, but this one was really neat in the cave and unique to others I had seen. But if I am being honest this activity was our favorite and it was because of the guide, Enrique. He made this fun and educational. He joked with my kids and told them interesting stories. He did everything he could to accommodate them. If you can choose I would recommend asking for him. He answered questions and was a very warm personality. Definitely a great experience I would recommend 10/10!
Exciting, fun, informative

We booked this tour via our hotel and the whole process was seamless, we were collected from the door of our hotel and greeted by Enrique who was an amazing tour guide. He went into so much detail about the history of where we were, He made us feel very safe, especially when we were swimming through the Cenote, which can be very claustrophobic! I cannot recommend Enrique highly enough to anyone looking for this type of tour in the area.

We had an amazing time on our excursion!! Our tour guide Julio and driver Alfonso were spectacular!! They made the trip fun, safe, educational, and most of all- exciting!! The swimming in the cenote was a magical experience. Definitely worth it!! It’s like nothing I’ve ever done before and my wife and I loved every second of it. Then, snorkeling with the sea turtles was so neat. We had plenty of time to see the turtles and enjoy the warm water and views. Julio and his team are the best!! Highly recommend!!

Picked up promptly by minibus from our resort hotel by Enrique and his team about 7.45 am. There were 11 of us in total, family of 5 and 3 couples. Visited Tulum first, the sun was already so hot and Enrique was excellent in finding shady areas to stop and share his knowledge of the Mayan civilisation. We then drove inland onto the cenote. Firstly we walked around the grounds then down steep steps into the cave, along boardwalks to view the stalactites. We then got changed and swam in the refreshing water. The headroom was very low but once you got used to the temperature of the water it was an amazing experience. Enrique was very caring and guided us through the tight spaces. His colleagues took a series of photos and videos with underwater cameras. A delicious typical lunch was provided by some Mayan descendants. After lunch we has dried off then headed back to the coast to the beautiful Akumal Bay. Here we swam with the sea turtles. I'm not a confident swimmer, but snorkel masks and life jackets provided were worn by all. So glad I did it as it was an amazing experience :-) We purchased the photo/video package that was edited and emailed promptly to us afterwards. Returned to our hotel by 4pm. An excellent tour, highly recommend.
