    Great activity if you want to hit multiple areas in day. It was amazing to see so many turtles. The Ruins were great and our guide Rafael was incredibly knowledgeable and very caring about the environment and nature.

    This tour was so much fun, well paced, and just the right amount of adventure! Our tour guide, Arely, was an absolute star. I have traveled a lot and had a number of tour guides, Arely is by far the best I have ever had. She was constantly working to make sure everyone on the tour had a great time and was able to provide help and support to some of the people who weren't as strong swimmers. When I told her I had to eat gluten free, she talked with the restaurant workers to help figure out what I could eat. On top of Arely being a fantastic guide, the experiences were so much fun. The Tulum ruins are gorgeous, steeped in history and nature. The Akumal beach was very busy, but I still had a ton of fun flip-flopping around in the water like a seal. Plus, we got to see a turtle! However, the absolute best part was swimming in the Cenote. It was incredible. If you take this tour and can request Arely as your tour guide, I highly recommend you do so. As a final note, if you need glasses to see, don't make the mistake I did, either wear contacts or keep your glasses with you for the Cenote swim.

    Carlos the tour guide was amazing. He was with us the entire time from Tulum, describing the history of the ruin as much as he could, swimming with us to look for turtles and exploring the cave as well. He was very informative, helpful and he made the whole trip fun. Pablo the driver was an excellent driver.

  • Overall a great experience.

    Nicolas and crew were great. The Tulum tour was very hot and we were there early in the morning. The tour guide had a good presentation but missed the moon building, ending our tour early. I found the snorkelling disappointing as it was very busy with too many people in the water. This resulted in not being able to see the turtles clearly for any length of time. The cenote was absolutely amazing! Its size, clear water and easy entrance/exit was great. To be able to explore this large cenote was breathtaking. The taco meal and juice hit the spot. Derek (photographer) supplied some great shots plus his extra photos included in your package for at a reasonable price. My negative comments was totally out of Nicolas’s control and hope that a different day may bring an even better result.

    We had a fantastic time on the Tulum ruins, Akumal turtles, and cenote tour, it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. Claudia was an excellent guide , knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history of Tulum come alive without it ever feeling overwhelming. Cristian was a safe and friendly driver, and Mel captured some brilliant photos that we’ll really treasure. A great day out which we all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

    This was a trip for my great grandsons grad. Our tour guide Mac was great. He interacted with everyone on the tour. We went to the Tulum ruins first. It was like having an enjoyable history lesson. Next off to Akumal to snorkel.with the turtles. This was amazing! We saw many colourful fish and at least three large turtles. The water was warm,calm and clear. Next to the cenote. Wow! At my age I was sceptical about participating. I sure glad I did..the water was refreshing and so clear and clean. The cave was beautiful. We then ate a tortilla.lunch that was included. It was delicious. Simon was our driver and he was a great driver. Oh yes Laura(professional.photographer) took lots of photos underwater at the snorkeling and more at the cenote. Great job! We purchased the full package for only $80. She did a great job! Thanks again to Mac, Simon and Laura. Do this tour if you can.

  • Perfect Tulum day trip

    Fun day trip for me and my 7 friends! We did a private tour with Diego and Arturo and had a great time. Starts out with a walking tour of the Tulum ruins, then snorkeling with turtles, lunch, the a cenote tour. Would be good for kids or adults. Would recommend bringing water shoes and a sun shirt though they sell sun shirts if you want one. The snorkeling and cenote do not allow sunscreen to protect the health of the reef and cenote so come prepared!
