Great trip! - Juan was great! views were beautiful in the cenote and we saw 2 turtles. You arent able to take your phone into cenote BUT you are allowed to go back into the car afterwards and fetch your phone to take pictures.

Amazing, enjoyed every... - Amazing, enjoyed every part of this adventure. Just know that you will have to swim out to the middle of the ocean to see the turtles. There are no boats to take you out. Also bring a waterproof case for your phone if you want pictures.

Perfect half day excursion - We were picked up on time at our hotel. The van was very clean and the driver Cobb and our guide Juan were very welcoming. We first went to Akumal Bay to swim with the sea turtles. Very cool and Juan would point out to us when he saw one. After that we were offered water and snacks before heading to a cenote/cave about 15 minutes away. There were only 7 of us on the tour so it felt very personalized. I was the oldest in the group (60) so everyone including Juan referred to me as momma lol The cenote/cave was the highlight of the day for me. Incredible experience and I can now cross that off my bucket list I highly recommend this company for your excursions in the area and having Juan as our guide was a bonus!!! Gracias!!!!

Way better than expected :) - I was mainly going for the turtles, so I didn't expect much from the cenote. And it was awesome! First, we came to Akumal, where local guides and our guide Ivan showed us the turtles and stingrays. We saw about five to seven turtles of different sizes swimming right next to us. The area is also nice, with a wonderful beach and showers. Then we went to the cenote. Unfortunately, you can't take photos with your phone, as they sell their own photos. But the cenote is HUGE! The cavern system is 800 km long. It's fascinating to swim in the crystal-clear water in a cave with stalactites and stalagmites. Ivan guided us all around, showed us bats, and told us about the history of the place. It wasn't scary at all. Thank you, Ivan ❤️

Trip worth your time and money - Our guide Juan was excellent. He kept us together, saw large and small turtles. He was calm, kept us calm and was reassuring. Took some pictures while still focusing on us and our safety. His gentle way made the Akuma beach and the cenote a great trip for our whole group. There were a few loud and bold people but he handled all the situations with patience remained unruled. Bev/Gary Cunningham

Turtles + Cenote - Thanks to Jari and NS Tours for the beautiful day. Well organized activity with a great guide! We were able to observe several turtles and fish. The Maya cenote was an unforgettable experience. I recommend to those who want to do an activity that does not consume a whole day ( about 6:00 total ) Note , no cell phones are allowed in this note , so no photo , it is a sacred place Maya
