Job was an amazing guide! This trip was more than worth it, the cenote experience was different than anything I’ve been To before & being able to swim so close to huge sea turtles is amazing!

Full description

The ancient walled city of Tulum sits atop a cliff overlooking the turquoise Mexican Caribbean Sea creating vistas that will take your breath away. Explore the Tulum Mayan ruins with an expert guide and discover why this is one of the most popular cultural attractions in the Riviera Maya. Dive into the natural habitat of sea turtles with a once in a lifetime adventure in Akumal. This calm bay in the Riviera Maya is home to sea turtles who come to graze on the seagrass giving you an opportunity to snorkel alongside them in an extraordinary natural encounter. Head into the jungle and discover a magical oasis in a unique cenote swim in the Riviera Maya! Cenotes are natural limestone sinkholes full of mineral-rich freshwater, the perfect “swimming hole” to refresh and play and admire the stunning natural beauty of the jungle. A guided tour of the Tulum Mayan ruins, swimming with sea turtles in Akumal and a jungle oasis cenote swim in the Riviera Maya plus round-trip transportation, beverages and a delicious local lunch included!

The day was amazing from start to finish. Our guide Karina and driver Caesar were brilliant, very funny and entertaining and we were kept hydrated with bottles of cold water. The other people in our group were lovely which made the day even more special. This trip was half the price of the one we could have booked on with TUI so excellent value for money. Lunch was included and all 3 activities were an experience to remember forever. I highly recommend this trip and snorkling with turtles in Akumal Bay was magical.
