Our tour guide Leah was overall very pleasant, unfortunately a bunch of sargassum in the water with the turtles and it was a bit crowded. The cenote was much better!

Sea turtles and cenotes

Alex, our guide, was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable, and passionate about what he was talking about. One of our family couldn't swim and was very scared. He calmed her fears and paid extra attention to her. So glad I took this tour!

Good to bring extra food...

Good to bring extra food and make sure you have biodegradable sunscreen not sunblock. Mosquitos will attack you at the cenote but not sure if bug spray is allowed. Turtles are accessible if you're not a good swimmer the guides will help you out

Trip would be amazing with clear sea!

Host Repberto was incredible, absolutely made the trip - massive thanks to him if he's reading! Sea water wasn't the best so visibility for the turtles wasn't great so when you saw them it was all a touch blurred. Caves afterwards were amazing - crystal clear water that was really refreshing to swim in.

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that your host helped make your day so enjoyable. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the sea conditions. Visibility in the ocean can vary from day to day depending on weather and natural conditions, but we are happy that you were still able to see the turtles and enjoy the experience. It’s wonderful to know that the cenote was a highlight of your day. The crystal-clear waters truly offer a unique and refreshing experience. We hope to welcome you back to Mexico in the future and provide you with an even better adventure on your next visit. Warm regards, Blue Caribe Tours Team 🌴🐢🇲🇽✨

Terrible Experience – Poor Organization and Disappointing Excursion

Our excursion with Blue Caribbean was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The beach in Akumal was covered with large amounts of seaweed, making it unattractive and unpleasant. The turtle-watching activity was particularly disappointing because the conditions were so poor. In my opinion, this excursion should not be offered during the months when seaweed is abundant, as it significantly affects the overall experience. The guide spent most of the trip talking to the driver in Spanish, which meant that many of us could not understand what was being said. Instead of engaging with the group, introducing herself, sharing information about the area, or providing interesting insights about life in Mexico, she was often on her phone and seemed uninterested in interacting with the guests. We also spent about an hour picking up tourists from various hotels before the excursion even began. When we asked about the delay, we were told that this was because it was low season. Regardless of the reason, it made the experience feel poorly organized and inefficient. Overall, this was one of the worst excursions we have experienced. I would not book another excursion with Blue Caribe and cannot recommend this company.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the seaweed conditions in Akumal. Unfortunately, sargassum is a natural phenomenon that affects different areas of the Caribbean throughout the year and can vary significantly from one day to another. While we do our best to provide the best possible experience, these environmental conditions are beyond our control and can impact the appearance of the beach and the overall experience. We are also sorry to read your comments regarding the guide. Providing engaging, informative, and attentive service is one of our priorities, and your feedback will be reviewed internally with our operations team. This is certainly not the standard of service we strive to deliver. Regarding the pickup process, our shared tours include pickups from multiple hotels, and travel times may vary depending on the number and location of participants on a particular day. We understand that this can sometimes feel lengthy, and we appreciate your patience. While we regret that this excursion did not leave you with the impression we aim to provide, we sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our services. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to contact our Customer Care team at customercare@bluecaribetours.com. Kind regards, Blue Caribe Tours Team 🌴🇲🇽✨

Turtles and cenote 1/6/26

Alex was our tour guide, he was fantastic ! Super friendly with great knowledge and talks in depth throughout the tour about the tour. He is fantastic with the children. Patient and friendly. The tour itself was great we were well informed of what was happening and what was going to happen. We got in the water and swam out to see the turtles in their natural habitat and environment we saw 4/5 very large turtles . We then went to the cenotes which was amazing !Alex helped us around in the water and told us all the information about the history behind the cenotes which he was very passionate about ate about . I would highly recommend this tour with this guide !
