Amazing day! Highly recommend! - We were a group of 3 friends on a girls vacation and this full day trip was AMAZING! Yaris was our guide and Luis our driver. Yaris was sweet and funny! She was very informative and kept us interested for the entire trip. We were a little worried that as a 'full day' trip it was going to feel like a really long day but it wasn't like that at all! We spent the perfect amount of time at each activity and there wasn't a ton of time on the road in between. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. Thank you so much Yaris for giving us some wonderful memories on our trip!

The cenote was the highlight! - The trip was amazing! Yaris was quite knowledgeable and funny and Luis, our driver, was very efficient in getting us from place to place. We had to cancel our original date and we asked Raul if we could change it and it was no problem! The snorkeling was quite busy and crowded but we still saw a decent amount of sea creatures. The cenote exceeded our expectations and was our favorite part. The food was cooked at the cenote and was quite delicious. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

The day was way beyond our expectations - The day was way beyond our expectations 🤩
First, we were picked up directly at our hotel by César. Then, the tour started with a nice and interesting visit to the Tulum ruins, followed by a really cool experience at the cenote.
It was not just a normal cenote where you can swim, together with Ivan we did a very insightful swimming tour of the cenote. He really knew a lot about the place and it was very interesting to understand how it was all created.
We then had lunch and headed over to our last stop, swimming with the turtles. This was definitely the best way to end the day. We did this with Ivan and the guides who were super helpful and told us more about the reef.
After all this, César left us again at our hotel. Thank you Ivan and César for the amazing day! It was really awesome
Ps (1): about sunscreen. You can use it at the ruins but you cannot use it at the cenote and swimming with turtles but that’s totally fine! The cenote is covered and the swimming with the turtles is around 1h so even if you have a very light skin like me, you’re going to be fine
Ps (2): about food and drinks. They offer you some water and even had some fruit in case you needed a quick energy boost

Amazing day!! - The day was amazing! Honestly better than I was expecting!
Started with a very nice and welcoming transportation from Cancun. Done by Cesar, who btw was super nice during the all day always helping everyone!
We visit the Tulum ruins with a tour guide.
After that was my favorite part! Swimming in a Cenote inside a cave! We swam for 50 minutes always with the help of our guide Ivan Pimenta.
Speaking of him, very nice guy always with a smile, explaining everything and answering our questions! Couldn’t have asked for better!
Finally we went to see the turtles in Akumal. Another amazing experience of what Akumal is.
Overall the day was amazing! Thank you Cesar and Ivan Pimenta for the amazing day!!

Great time with other couples - The trip started off negative as our tour was supposed to start at 6:30am but they never arrived. Apparently they changed our pick up time to 7:30 and didn't tell us.
After that was all fixed, our day was great. Our driver, Caesar, got us everywhere safely. Our guide, Ivan, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well.
We went with 3 other couples and had a blast! I definitely recommend this trip.

Great experience and you - Fun full day tour! This was the only tour I could find that would pick us up from our Excellence resort. We had a great time with Ivan, he was a good guide throughout the cinote caves and ensuring we were taken care of touring the Tulum ruins. The food was super delicious. We got to see a few turtles at the beach and the weather was perfect. The driver, Caesar was so good and I felt safe the whole drive. Comfort van held our group of 8 just fine!

Definitely worth a visit - Good choice of three very different experiences, the ancient ruins were nice to see with interesting history and facts by the tour guide. The Cenote was the highlight for us, the “agreement” with the local village to not allow your own camera gear was a disappointment, we would rather pay a fee than rely on their photographers at predetermined locations.
The sea turtles at station 3 were impressive. Very large and easy to see. Overall Ivan did a great job, the tour bus however was too small for so many guests and needs to be modernized.
