Start your journey with the Turtle Swim and Cenote Adventure tour, available from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM. This thrilling excursion takes you to the serene Akumal Beach, where you can snorkel alongside majestic sea turtles in their natural habitat. The experience is nothing short of magical, as you glide through the crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the vibrant marine life of the Riviera Maya.

The cenote’s tranquil beauty is a stark contrast to the adrenaline-pumping turtle encounter, providing a perfect balance to your morning.
“Awe inspiring cenote experience with Pablo - Had a wonderful experience with Pablo as our guide. Stopped by Akumal beach for sea turtle sightings but the cenote swim was the absolute highlight. It’s hard to put into words the sense of awe and serenity the cenote invokes. Pablo provided very helpful commentary throughout - with plenty of humor too! Absolutely would recommend as a Tulum day trip.” - Reviewed at 2024-11-30

As you explore these ancient wonders, the overcast skies create a dramatic backdrop, enhancing the sense of mystery and adventure.
“Fun packed adventure - I decided on this tour because of all the activities promised for the day. Not to mention the good reviews. I was worried I’d be disappointed because they cancelled & changed days on us. They redeemed themselves though & promised us we’d get some pictures. I’m so glad we went because every single activity was fun & worth it. Our guide Israel was knowledgeable & funny. Everything I asked he answered & nothing felt rushed. Our group was a small 10-12 people. We got to experience everything that was promised. Our group was the first to arrive & I loved that! We did a walk through the jungle to get to the cenote. The cenote was wonderful & relaxing. We did two zip lines, then rode a canoe to get our lunch which was completely authentic & delicious. Once we were done in the Mayan community we went on our way to Coba, and what a marvelous place. Not an easy task climbing up the amazing pyramid but so worth it. If I’d change anything, it would only be to have more time available to shop, but by the end of the day you do so much that you end up beyond satisfied.” - Reviewed at 2019-05-01
