Itinerary
It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, one of the essential sites in Tulum are its Mayan ruins, located on a cliff facing the Caribbean Sea; With warm starry nights and clear turquoise waters is the only archaeological zone that sits on the seashore. It is the most photogenic site in the region and, perhaps, the entire country
(in Mayan language: Akumal, ‘Turtle place’)? Historically it is the first tourist destination of the coastal strip of the Yucatan Peninsula bathed by the Caribbean Sea. It was originally a huge coconut plantation owned by Don Argimiro Argüelles until 1958 when it was discovered by CEDAM (Exploration and Water Sports Club of Mexico), an exclusive diving club. Akumal hosted this group whose interest was the search for underwater treasures

What an absolutely incredible experience. Mark our guide was fantastic and very professional. It was perfect from start to finish. Had water and snacks for the bus accompanied by a lovely local lunch homemade tacos which were delicious. I felt like the entire day was super busy but executed really well. Tulum ruins was fascinating, turtle swimming at a lovely and sea area (with a professional photographer) then ending at a cooling and wonderful Cenotes in the middle of a jungle that was owned by locals! I honestly felt like a mermaid. What an experience. We just absolutely loved it. 10/10. Thank you! 7/8 hours approximately which is much more bearable than other trips that are 12 hours +. If you can’t decide a trip, this is definitely the one for you to get a glimpse of everything this part of Mexico has to offer.
Hola I really appreciate your comments and make me happy that my guides are making a great job as usual Definitely yes this us one of my top tours and people really love the combination of activities during the day I will share your comments with my team and please any time we are here for you.
Wear good footwear at Tulum, the terrain is uneven and bring sunscreen lots of walking.The guide provides great information about the site. Bring a sun shirt to swim with the turtles sunscreen is not permitted. Cenote is amazing nice cool water. Bring extra drinking water for your day
Thank you so much for your recommendation and feedback Im so happy to see that you had a great time on this experience Any time you need us we are here at your service
Wonderful unique experience covering the Mayan Tulum ruins, swimming with turtles in Akumal bay and a Cenote. One of us can’t swim well and this was accommodated on the turtles with extremely helpful staff. Good guide for Tulum and good overall guide for the day Max. Very good mela at the Cenote. Swimming in the Cenote that involved underground swimming was superb. You will need to buy a rash vest to protect against the strong sun because you cannot wear sunscreen. Also, buy swimming shoes beforehand because the rocks in the cave can be sharp. The tour company should give advice on the rash vest (but you could buy them from them) because they are available in resorts. Photos provided for the three activities were excellent.
Thank you so much for your comments im so glad you had a fantastic time in the experience and of course I will take notes to better experiences Any time you need us we are here for you
A great tour to make the most of a day- ruins, turtles and cenotes, plus a delicious lunch! Our guide Ruben was beyond excellent with assisting our young kids on the tour, answering all our questions and sharing his knowledge of the area, wildlife and was very entertaining. The transportation and guidance through the day was seamless-challenging to do with children! He made the day and some amazing memories for our family!

I booked through Jose Perez. He responded so quickly and was amazing at booking us the trip we wanted. We went from our hotel to tulum, then to a cenote and then to snorkelling with turtles akumal bay. 130$ each which I thought was reasonable and included lunch and all equipment. All the tour staff were lovely and friendly. My friend needed prescription snorkel mask and they helped her in the water too as it wasn’t exactly right. All in all a lovely day. Thank you Jose for organising this and responding to everything so quickly.
It's a real pleasure and more than happy that you had a great time. I hope to help you again in a close future and for any information I will be here at your service
The trip was wonderful, Juan and Jonah were wonderful. The only thing I found lacking was that they didn't tell us they were going to stop at a Mayan wayside so we could get a blessing and go shopping, so I didn't bring $. So bring cash! US or Pesos. Also, they asked us to bring the credit card that we booked it with, and then never checked it,lol! Still, it was fabulous and I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Well worth it!
Thank you so much for your feedback, always it's important to find an opportunity to be better and better, all your comments are important for us and hope to see you soon again.
