Tour Options
Itinerary
Discover these famous ruins of Tulum because they are the only ones located in front of the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea. Tulum in ancient times was an important port used by the extensive commercial network of the Mayans, since here the commercial, maritime and terrestrial routes converge. After the guided tour we will enjoy free time to take some photos.
Afterwards explore the fascinating aquatic world of the Mexican Caribbean on a leisurely snorkel tour in search of sea turtles. Brightly colored tropical fish, spectacular coral, amazing rock formations, rays and unbelievable visibility makes this an unforgettable experience.

We really enjoyed the tour; in fact, I saw the turtles while snorkeling. The group leader was very nice and explained everything about the Mayan ruins in detail; it was interesting, and swimming in the cave afterward was an experience.

We had a family group of 15. Ivo and Memo were incredible tour guides. They were very friendly, kind and educational. This was a core memory for our group and we couldn't be more thankful. Seeing sea turtles, sting rays and other wild life was incredble . The cenote was stunninng! Highly recommend

We booked a tour with Ocean Tours. We were picked up from the hotel on time. We were a small tour group of 10 people. Romina our guide super sympathetic comes from Germany and speaks German and perfect Spanish. She has lived in Mexico for 8 years and could answer many questions. The Maja site Tulum we liked well and we got everything explained there in German. Unfortunately the weather was bad (very windy) and therefore much the turtle bay unfortunately out. But we could still snorkel the agency has rescheduled right away and we could snorkel in a sheltered lagoon that was very pleasant because it was so warm. Romina took great care of the guests in the water, not everyone has snorkeled before. Everyone had life jackets, great are also the UV shirts you could buy. But it was a voluntary thing. Afterwards we went into the jungle for lunch. There were tacos, that was okay. I would have liked another selection of salad. Then came my highlight, swimming in the zenote. Romina has us all great guided through the zenote and cave. We've seen bats. It was really the hammer of clear water. Afterwards we would be taken back to the hotels by bus. Our driverJorge him I wondered how he drove in the narrow places in the Dungel.
