Tulum, cenote swim, turtle snorkelling and beach club combo tour

4.4/5
613 reviews

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

    The perfect trip cramed full of activities. The perfect amount of time at each activity and swimming with the turtles was one of the highlights of our holiday! Our guide and driver were friendly, funny and full of facts. The only let down was the price of the photos at the Cenote it was too expensive to justify and it would have been nice to have been able to buy just one not the whole lot. Lunch at the beach club was delicious it would have been nice to have a little longer there.

    Historical input from the Guide (Lalo) was excellent. His driver (Sexy Kosh) was also very helpful. Free time in the 3 locations was a bit short / rushed but understandable. The prices of photography at the Cenote were ridiculous!! I don’t think that anyone in our visiting group purchased them. If they were priced at $10 per picture, I might have been tempted to buy a single one as a memento.

    We thoroughly enjoyed each of the activities and lunch. Both Mario and Luiz were very excellent and looked after us well. Our only complaint is regarding the transport. We were last to be picked up together with another couple from our hotel. Therefore we ended up with the 4 remaining seats on the mini bus. These were the back row 4 seats and completely not acceptable. There was no room at all four adults. You couldn’t move your kegs at all or even your arms. Bags were on our laps.
