Embark on a private tour of Tulum, the only Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and Akumal Bay, a sanctuary for turtles. This half-day adventure allows you to dive into the heart of Mayan culture and swim alongside turtles in their natural habitat.

Your first stop is Tulum, where a certified archaeological guide will lead you through the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins set against the backdrop of the azure Caribbean Sea. A sight that promises to leave you spellbound by its unparalleled blend of history and natural beauty.

Next on the trip is Akumal, aptly named 'place of the turtles' in Mayan. This bay is renowned as a sanctuary for three species of turtles: loggerhead, green and hawksbill. Here, you'll have the opportunity to swim with these majestic creatures, using professional snorkel equipment provided as part of your tour package.

Our tour guide Isaac was great - informative and friendly. Tulum was lovely and we were the first inside which felt special. The turtle swimming at Akumal Bay was busy and, although amazing, I felt a little underwhelmed. We saw 4 turtles and had to struggle against all the other swimmers to see them. Also, one of the snorkels we were given was faulty.

The Mayan Ruins were very interesting and Irving, our guide was very knowledgeable and had a good understanding of English. The turtle swim was busy but we had our own private guide for this experience so were able to move on more easily than larger groups. We saw plenty of sea turtles which was great!

Unser Guide, Arnulfo, war sehr interessiert, uns viel über die Kultur zu erzählen. Er war sehr rücksichtsvoll gegenüber uns und hat sich oft nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt, weil es sehr heiß war. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und mussten uns um nichts weiteres kümmern. Arnulfo war sehr fachkompetent und zu jedem Zeitpunkt ansprechbar. In Akumal wurden wir auch sehr umfassend betreut. Vielen Dank für alles!

Private tour of Tulum was great, we got there as it opened and avoided all the crowds. Swimming with turtles was private and amazing! We saw lots of turtles and our guide was great with communication and helping us spot the turtles and keep them safe.

For half a day it was expensive as we were only out for half a day

Our guide was fantastic- so knowledgeable of both Tulum and Mayan Culture- we all had a great time and learnt loads
