Perfect for the adventure seeker - We did this tour as a private group of 4, with our tour guide Miguel.
Miguel had all the knowledge and passion for the experiences throughout the day to make our day unforgettable!
This tour is very rustic, which was perfect for what we wanted. But if you are looking for artificial tourist attractions, this is not for you.
We rode bikes in the pouring rain through Coba, with Miguel stopping and sharing his excellent knowledge throughout.
We then had lunch and headed to Punta Laguna. This is a quiet out of the way jungle experience which we wish we could have done everyday- it was by far our best experience from our time in Mexico.
The Mayan people who run the village welcomed us warmly and gave us the time and skill they had to help us find monkeys, granted there was only a few- but we went with an open mind that you sometimes cannot see any- after all this is the wild!
We cannot thank Miguel, the driver and the people of Punta laguna enough for our once in a lifetime experience.

The perfect day! - We took the private tour of coba and Punta laguna with ocean tours Mexico and had the most amazing day. Our guide Ismael, photographer Danny and driver Enrique arrived early for our pickup and were waiting by the lobby when we went down. During the hour long drive to Coba Ismael explained the agenda for the day and went over some of the various wildlife we might see on the tour. Coba was beautiful and we saw many different ruins and animals while biking around. Ismael was extremely knowledgeable and fun to tour around with. He took care of everything for us along the way. It was very nice to have our own personal photographer so we could just enjoy the tour and know the whole day would be documented. We had the best Mexican food of our entire trip for lunch at the little buffet just outside the archeological site.
After Coba it was a short drive down the road to Punta Laguna where we started things with a traditional Mayan ceremony with the shaman. We were then lead into the jungle by a member of the Mayan community to find some monkeys. He was making monkey calls and it did not take him long to find several spider monkeys for us. We found one more group of monkeys on our way to the zip line over the lake. The lake is beautiful and the canoe ride back across it was very nice. Then it was time for the cenote. They hook your harness from the zip line to a rope and pully and lower you down through a fairly small hole in the ground. Once through the hole the earth opens up into a large dome full of water that you get to swim around in. There are a bunch of bats that fly around a bit down there and we even saw a fish swimming around. After climbing the rope ladder out of the cenote we got changed and went back down to the dock where I proposed to my girlfriend as the sun was preparing to set. She said yes and it was extremely helpful again to have our personal photographer Danny around to take professional photos of the moment for us. On our way back to the van we saw one more spider monkey with a baby on her back. After an amazing day full of adventures Enrique drove us back to our resort.
We are extremely happy we chose Ocean Tours for our special day in Mexico. The tour exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting to have 3 people doing the tour and the unexpected photographer worked our perfectly with my proposal. I was emailing with the company for over a month before we went trying to plan the best day possible and they are extremely flexible with everything and had no problem with me changing my plan several times. I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend ocean tours for all your Mexican adventures. If you are lucky enough to get Ismael, Danny and Enrique I know it will be the highlight of your trip as well.
Thanks guys for an amazing day!

The kings of the ocean dudes - Totally gotta spill the beans on this epic whale shark tour I went on in Cancun! It was like, outta this world, seriously! So, like, this awesome guy named Steffan schooled us on all things whale shark before we set sail. He knew his stuff, man, like a marine encyclopedia or something. Super cool, right?
Then, our boat trip was all guided by this rad dude named Tlal. He's, like, the captain of the high seas or whatever. Tlal knew all the secret spots to find these gentle giants, and he made sure we got, like, primo views of the action. Plus, he's all about keeping those whale sharks safe and sound, which is, like, mega important.
Both Steffan and Tlal, they were total marine fanatics. They made learning about these fishy dudes fun and exciting. Swimming next to those whale sharks? It was, like, the ultimate bucket-list moment. Seriously, I left with this huge appreciation for these majestic creatures and our planet's oceans.
If you're ever in Cancun and you're into marine life (or even if you're not, but you wanna be), you gotta hit up this tour. Steffan and Tlal will show you the time of your life. It's, like, one for the record books, no joke!

Fantastic tour and a MUST do!! - We had a fantastic day visiting Coba and the Monkey Sanctuary. Our driver Juan Luis was great and super helpful and can’t say enough good things about Cristina. She was delightful and super knowledgeable and made the day super fun. The monkey sanctuary with the zip line, the canoe across the water and then the swim in the Cenote was excellent!!

Fantastic day!! - Had a wonderful time today! The ruins were amazing - the bike ride through the jungle made it super-easy to get around. Great lunch, then off to the Cenote (must-do!), zip-lining, canoeing...and we saw the monkeys!! Cristina and Juan Luis to such good care of us. Cristina was so knowledgeable and brought the world of the ancient Mayans to life for all of us. Would highly recommend!!
