Itinerary

Mayan Adventure offers an activity that will spotlight three different Mayan underwater ecosystems; amazing wonders of the natural world where you will have the opportunity to get a complete snorkel experience. Your bilingual guide will explain the history of the surrounding areas while you get familiarized with your snorkeling gear before diving into the ocean to explore the reefs teeming with tropical fish. Then, make your way through the jungle to swim in a fresh-water river full of caves, stalactites and stalagmites tailor-made by nature for adventurers, just like you. And last, you´ll dive into a cenote, a freshwater sinkhole naturally created when cavern roofs collapsed to form a natural pool filled by the rain and the underwater rivers. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy such a magical journey!

Amazing experience!!!

We have stayed at the Royalton Riviera Cancun hotel. Here we have met and hired through Marisela, an excursion to go to the ruins of Tulum, see two cenotes (open and closed), and Playa del Carmen. Marisela explained everything in detail, as well as advising us what was more convenient, and that we would enjoy more. Thank you Marisela because we enjoyed the excursion. If you come to the Royalton Riviera hotel, ask about Marisela, who is very professional.

I had an amazing time in Mexico.

I had an amazing time in Mexico, but definitely what made the difference was Karelys attention. From the start everything was super clear, organized and with really worthwhile recommendations. You can tell the commitment and love for what he does, because every detail was perfect. I would certainly travel like this a thousand times more. Fully recommended!!!!!! 🙌

Travel & Excursion

The 3 stops were great with areas for snorkeling. The tour guide does not let you bring or wear sunscreen so keep that in mind. Diego Ku booked this for us and everything was so easy with him. Great communication and confirmed our flight details over WhatsApp when we had questions after hours!
