Lots of fun! - An excellent tour. Our guides were great and extremely knowledgeable. Lots of turtles on the turtle swim but the cenote was the highlight. Lunch was also great. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Tulum Cenote Experience - We’ve done several tours in MX over the years. This is the only way we will do tours on future visits. Arturo was amazing and the whole experience was spectacular. Lunch was so good and even had vegan options. What a great experience! We will be using absolute tours for future trips!

Simply incredible. - Words cannot express how truly wonderful this tour was. Arturo was such a nice person and a great guide! Starting early was absolutely the best decision. We saw many turtles on our snorkel, and beat the crowds, who were just arriving when we were leaving. It was a breathtaking experience. We went the relaxing cenote - the one with all the fauna - and it was so beautiful it felt otherworldly. Absolutely stunning. We did many tours in PDC, and have travelled all over the world, and this experience will forever standout for how gorgeous it was and for amazing Arturo was. If I could give this 100 stars I would.

Beautiful - Excellent attention from Juan and Mr. Carlos. From the beginning of the tour, super punctual and attentive. Explaining the entire route to us, offering us complimentary drinks. The transportation was super clean, the turtle place was beautiful, and also the attention from the excellent guide. We saw turtles and different fish. It was a beautiful experience. The cenote is a divine place, it is worth mentioning that they gave us snorkeling equipment, which gave an extra point to better see the landscape underwater. The tour is spectacular, you will not regret it…

Created memories to treasure. - This activity I knew would take me out of my comfort zone as I am not a strong swimmer but Alex from Absolute Adventure and Jose at the turtle beach were so reassuring and helpful that it gave me the confidence to relax and really enjoy the experience. It was wonderful to snorkel with the turtles and many more fish too. At the cenote Alex accompained us into the underground cavern, explaining as we explored. It was truly magical and given us memories to treasure. Thank you so much.

Best day ever! - This excursion was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip, providing my sisters and me with a fantastic private experience. The tour operators exhibited excellent organization, offering all the necessary information well in advance so we were well-prepared before departure. At 7:30 am sharp, they picked us up at our hotel in a private van, and a 35-minute ride took us to our first destination. Our tour guide, Joshua, equipped us with life vests and snorkel masks, and we soon found ourselves in the ocean, swimming out to observe sea turtles. We had the pleasure of spotting four sea turtles, along with starfish, barracuda, and a stingray. While it was amazing to see the sea turtles, it's important to note that this part of the tour requires strong swimming skills. For our next stop, we had the option to choose from one of four cenotes. Following Joshua's recommendation, we visited Cenote Nicte-Ha, which was truly breathtaking. Joshua's expertise proved invaluable as the cenote was a marvel to behold. The cold yet refreshing water, combined with the stunning surroundings, left us in awe. Joshua even kindly took photos of my sisters and me, capturing the moment perfectly. We could have easily spent the entire day at the cenote; it was that remarkable. After our cenote adventure, we indulged in a delicious Mexican lunch, with a selection of six different entrees and soft drinks. This day was nothing short of perfection, and by 12:30 pm, we were back at our Tulum hotel. This tour was exceptional, and I can't wait to experience it again when I return to Tulum.

Stunning turtles and bright blue cenote - Juan was the perfect tour guide - so knowledgeable about Mexican history and also really helpful answering extra questions we had about our trip. We loved getting to know him. The experience might seem expensive, but you get a lot for your money - barely anyone at the beautiful cenote, and would recommend the early turtle swim as that was also uncrowded and very special. You can see turtles, sting rays and starfish close up as well as coral. Lunch was also delicious in a great local spot. If you want to get a lot out of your morning, would highly recommend this tour. Thanks so much to our driver too, and all the lovely people we met!
