Private Tulum ruins, Akumal turtle snorkeling, and a cenote swim from Playa del Carmen with pickup, lunch, gear, and expert guides.
“Great Tour all around! Carlos guided us through the Tulum ruins and taught us alot about the architecture of the buildings, the symbolism of the carvings and what the mayan people valued. We saw several sea turtles while snorkeling and both Carlos and Salma helped us get positioned for up close views and super cool interactions. My favorite though was the tour of different parts of the cenote caves guided by flashlights. Carlos also took time to chat with my family in depth about the cenote caves and his experiences cave diving. It was a lovely day. I also want to thank our driver for always having water and beverages…”

“Darwin was an incredible tour guide! I went snorkeling with my seven-year-old daughter and it was her first time and he made us both feel so comfortable and prepared! He was able to find at least seven or eight turtles for us and explained everything so that we felt safe and prepared. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially for those with young children! It was a truly magical experience.”

“Really great trip, Turtle swimming was amazing, the tour guide were really helpful at guiding us to where they were and identifying other fish in the reefs. Tulum was good too, our guide, Jesus, gave lots of interesting information about it. Finally the cenote was really good! Could have had longer here as it includes two different cenotes as well as food. Overall great!”
A full day from Tulum to cenotes and Akumal turtles, with guided Mayan ruins, included lunch, and snorkeling gear plus lockers.
“This was a great trip. The Cenotes were so beautiful and refreshing. The lunch was the most authentic thing we ate in Mexico. The guide Mildred was perfect. She taught us a lot about Mayan culture. There was a downpour at the turtles so that was cut short but they can’t control the weather. Definitely recommend this trip.”

Private Akumal turtle swim in the protected bay with snorkeling gear and an included GoPro photo session, plus park access after.
“It was a nice experience. I had to reschedule in less than 24 hours due to a medical issue and this was done without a problem. Communication about this was good, although we had a difficult time finding our meeting place. Alejandro our guide was friendly, thorough in explaining what to do around the turtles and patient with the group. We saw several turtles, although the water was a bit murky. I would have liked a little more time by the coral and the fish that were there. In addition to the turtles we saw a gray stingray and an eagle stingray. A beautiful animal.”

“Enjoyed this excursion very much! The guide was very helpful and bilingual which was great. The guides were very helpful with my wife’s who is not a strong swimmer.
