The Best Tour Guides in Akumal - We have been on several tours with Rodrigo and Harold. I highly recommend their services. They always have everything in place us, transportation, water, entertainment and local places to eat. We have swam with the turtles (we have always seen turtles), jungle ATV tours, under ground and open cenotes, zip lining, private boat trip and Yal-ku Lagoon. The best time with the best people.

Come on! - Good Guide, great spot! Beautiful turtles in a place preserved and respectful of animal welfare. It is not a place with too many tourists, which allows turtles to really be natural in their behavior.

Take this tour! It's the most! - Fully recommended! I was lucky enough to cross paths with Guide Rodo. He explained from the location of the facility, lockers, beach care rules, mask use. He was very friendly and detailed the spices of turtles and corals. It made me feel safe about snorkeling and the sea. I saw 8 turtles! The tour is a unique experience.

Amazing experience - an absolute must for anyone going to Akumal! - When we arrived at Akumal we were lucky enough to have flagged down Rodolfo by the taxi driver. He explained the prices, lockers, and everything else. Our guide was Ulysses - aka El Parti. He was an absolute delight! We had our two young children who are not the strongest swimmers. He was their personal Uber in the water. He had a float attached to him and was pulling my kids along the way. As a parent, I felt more confident with this available for them. We saw many turtles and he was also our personal paparazzi. He had his Go Pro and took pictures and video of us. Thank you Akumal Mayan VIP Tours, you have made this a truly amazing experience for us!
