J
Jordan – United Kingdom

A great activity for a really great price - our hotel activity organiser was surprised how much was included and couldn’t beat it! Victor and Angel were great guides. Angel really knew what he was talking about and the water bottles throughout the day were really appreciated given how hot it was, not something most the tours have done! The cenotes were great, not as crowded as the others we’ve seen and the lunch was really nice too, a special local place. The swimming with turtles was amazing, saw some cool fish, manta rays and lots of turtles right up close. It was a bit crowded though and difficult to get space sometimes amongst the current and the people in the group that would just float into you, the guides were supportive of those in the group that weren’t as strong swimmers but I’d say you want to be comfortable snorkelling and swimming in a group to get the most out of this!

Leon – Netherlands

Pick up was before time and guide Susana May was perfect! The tour through Mayan city of Tulum was very nice, lunch at Cenote was excellent as well as swimming with turtles. Disappointment of the day were very rude and antisocial Serbian people (coming too late at the bus, swimming too close to the turtles, giving rude tips, etc.) staying in Margaritaville Island (but the guide didn’t had anything to do with it).

Full description

Discover natural wonders and ancient treasures on a bus tour to Tulum and Akumal. Marvel at the splendor of Tulum's archaeological marvels, the enchanting allure of a pristine cenote, and the magical underwater world of Akumal's marine life.

Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Cancun. Sit back and relax as you head to Tulum. Step back in time at the ancient Mayan city of Tulum as you follow your guide through this archaeological gem. Marvel at the awe-inspiring temples, majestic walls, and stunning vistas overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Then, continue for a refreshing dip at the Canamayte Cenote. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Canamayte's open cenote, aptly named "Mariposa" (Butterfly). Refresh yourself in this natural oasis surrounded by lush vegetation.

Recharge your energy with a buffet lunch, carefully prepared to satisfy your cravings. Indulge in a variety of local and international flavors, catering to every palate, before embarking on the next leg of your journey.

Carry on to Akumal to enjoy the rare opportunity to swim alongside gentle giant sea turtles, their majestic presence and graceful movements creating a magical underwater ballet. Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of coral reefs and tropical fish, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Head back to Cancun with a dose of Mexican culture and traditions.

This was an all around great excursion. I only gave 3 stars for transportation as my husband is a larger guy and not enough leg room.
