Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour - Tulum Ruins on the Caribbean: guided story time plus photo time

1.Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,706 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $129Our number one

Tour Tulum ruins, snorkel Akumal sea turtles, and swim a freshwater cenote cave with hotel pickup and tacos, plus snorkeling gear.

“You need to be able to swim and traverse the uneven paths. The ruins have many steps, some of it is ok for a scooter, but walking is involved. At the beach a boat will take you out to a destination and drop you off. A person SHOULD know how to swim even though life jackets are provided. You are not allowed to use fins/flippers. The swimming portion is a smaller group than other companies so you are able to enjoy seeing the turtles w/o fear of being kicked by others. The lunch is very good. It was fresh and delicious for our taste. Sophia and Edgar were excellent hosts.”

Sail from Puerto Morelos to a secret shallow sandbar on a small catamaran. Unlimited drinks, lunch, and easy access for kids.

“We booked this excursion as a family of 4. One person in our group is a vegetarian and after booking I reached out and asked if it would be possible to accommodate them. They told me yes they would make sure there is a vegetarian meal available. However, the day of when it was time for lunch they said they had nothing available and no note of a special meal. After a 1 hour boat ride, 2 hours of swimming and drinking it is upsetting to not have something to eat. It would have been fine if they told us when I reached out so we could have brought our…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 277 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $89

“A brilliant day of Mayan history at the unique Tulum site. This was followed by a short trip to Canamayte Cenote and eco park. A satisfying lunch, consisting of a variety of salad, tacos, grilled meat and veg, including a choice of a couple of desserts, was followed by around an hour of swimming in one of the two Cenotes. After this we headed to Akumel turtle sanctuary where we spent around 30-40 minutes snorkeling with guides amongst turtles and the odd stingray. Our tour guide (Mildred - Millie) was excellent. She kept us informed throughout the day and her Mayan knowledge was exemplary. Drinks were provided to us on…”

9.Cenote Cavern Tour and Swim with Sea Turtles in Akumal

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 256 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.)

Akumal turtles and cenote snorkeling in one small-group day. Four cenotes, Nohoch included, plus hotel pickup from Playa del Carmen.

“This is the honest review you’re looking for. The cenotes themselves were really pretty and exciting - but don’t be fooled it’s not an intimate group of less than 12 as promised. Once you get to the cenotes you merge with 5 other groups and then your now group of 50 are herded together like cattle in a single file line through the cenotes while the Mexican tour guide shouts instructions at you. Also you only have like 10 minutes at each cenote. The rest of the time is waiting around for the rest of the people and transportation - annoying right. Now this next review is personalized to our…”

“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.”
