Experience of a lifetime! - Lalo and Sexy OB made our family aboard the bus feel so welcome. lalo and his comedic nature along with his fantastic knowledge was so engaging. He made everyone feel included using us as helpers to explain local culture. Everything was honestly incredible from the Tulum Mayan ruins to the cenotes and the turtles. Food at the beach club to finish was 10/10. Unforgettable life experience- thank you also to our driver SeXy OB for keeping us safe and navigating those jungle roads!

Sea turtles and Tulum ruins - The pick up arrived on time from the hotel, we got some snacks and water proved in the van then switched at the little transport hub they have depending on what tour you had chosen. First stop was Tulum which was amazing the guided tour guide made everything super clear and helped us understand the day trip, times and full order of the day. His knowledge of the site was helpful and allowed us to understand all the key parts and get some great photos. Time on this trip was tight so it did feel slightly rushed but that’s due to the meal time later on. Tulum is 100% worth visiting it’s beautiful. Second stop on the list was the cenote which was beautiful and freezing. However still a great experience the tour guide comes along with you allowing you feel to safe you have a life vest as well so you sort of float around it all. Turtles was our day highlight we got given all the gear at a location which had toilets. Boarded a small boat and went out. The tour guide is with you once more along with someone local to the area and knows the location of the sea grass the turtles like. We saw over 6 turtles including some younger and tropical fish and even a ray. It was incredible! Food was also amazing at the last stop. The drinks included are good along with food. Could definitely have food earlier in the trip and maybe a free beer as I was starving at this point due to being awake so long. We felt safe during the whole trip and had an amazing day out this trip is worth the price. Get booking and enjoy.

Fun adventures in Mexico with the family - Swimming alongside the sea turtles was such a memorable adventure—we even spotted four of them up close! Exploring the cenote cave was equally thrilling, as you descend into the cavern and swim in its crystal-clear waters. Afterward, the beach offered delicious food and plenty of hammocks and beds to unwind in. The only downside was the bumpy roads leading to the cenote and beach, but our guide Cesar more than made up for it. He was hilarious, full of energy, and incredibly informative. I’d definitely recommend him for this excursion!

Ruins Cenote Turtles trip - This was an amazing trip; well organized with an excellent tour guide who did all the activities with us. We loved covering all 3 experiences in one day. Only downside is that we were very hungry after 6 hours and felt that a snack after the 1st excursion (that we didn't like) wasn't enough; we would have preferred a sandwich and fruit after the 2nd excursion. Having lunch at the end of the day on the beach was welcomed and delicious!

Wonderful Tour at a Perfect Price Point - My best friend and I had a fantastic experience on this day trip! So many experiencese packed into one package made it a great value for the money, and hit a lot of touristy experiences in one day, leaving more time to relax on other days. Our guides (JJ, Liliana, Miguel, Jesus) were all super knowledgeable, fun, and really made the day a huge success.

Amazing trip and Cesar best tour guide! - Such an incredible trip, fantastic start with the ruins and then the cenotes where we learnt so much. César was the most amazing tour guide, he explained everything and kept it lighthearted - he also made sure we were able to snorkel around the coral reef so we could see all the different fish as well as the turtles (and stingrays!). Definitely recommend

Great day out. - Activities were great. Difficult family in the group made everyone else late. Lunch at the very end of the day instead of in the middle was poorly planned. Good guide.
