Excellent guide! Very knowledgeable about Tulum history and the cenote. You can leave your belongings in the van while you are participating in these experiences. We were very glad to see that Mexico is protecting their waters. No sunscreen allowed. One must shower before entering any of the activities. Food at the end of the experience was very generous! We would like to return to another Viator tour with more cenotes! They are so beautiful and the water is so relaxing! Our driver was outstanding! He was very patient. Carlos - Driver & Chewbacca - Excellent Guide!!!!
Ana and Omar were great hosts. Friendly and knowledgeable about Tulum. Collected from Dreams Sapphire and taken in clean and new vehicle. Tulum was very hot but Ana made sure to look after us. Picked up at 0645 and dropped off at 1245.
Great experience overall. Ruins were cool. It was HOT. Cenote was WILD. I mean, just in awe. Lagoon snorkeling was cool too. Our guide was the best. You could tell he loves what he does. Food was decent.

The magical Cenote was very impressive! For me one of the best experiences of the trip. Just breathtaking. The snorkeling was not good for us because of the time of year. We went in mid June and the ocean was kicking up seaweed and debris so we were unable to see very much at all. It was still fun but that experience I would reserve for a different month. From what I'm told between December and mid April would have been much better for that.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are delighted to hear that the Magical Cenote was one of the highlights of your trip and that you found it so breathtaking. These natural wonders truly create unforgettable memories, and we're thrilled you enjoyed exploring it. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the snorkeling conditions. As you mentioned, visibility can vary throughout the year due to natural ocean conditions, including seaweed and currents. While we're glad you still had fun, we understand that the experience was not as vibrant as you had hoped. Thank you again for your valuable insights and for choosing Cancun Adventures. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure and perhaps an even clearer snorkeling experience in the future! Cancun Adventures
Everything was fantastic. Contact the day before to confirm pick up. Pick up at hotel was super easy. Guide was very detailed (Silvino), he explained everything before we got to places and what to expect. Told us what was included and what not to get trapped paying for. The van provided water and snacks. The van had AC which is such a blessing. Going in June was super hot.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that everything was fantastic from start to finish. It's great to know that the communication prior to the tour and the hotel pickup process made your experience smooth and stress-free. We're especially pleased that Silvino's detailed explanations and helpful tips enhanced your day, ensuring you felt prepared and informed every step of the way. It's also wonderful to hear that the air-conditioned transportation, water, and snacks helped keep everyone comfortable during the June heat. Thank you for choosing Cancun Adventures and for recognizing Silvino's outstanding service. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Cancun Adventures
