Tulum’s Winter Weekend: Dive into Adventure and Relaxation

Experience Tulum’s mild winter weather with thrilling outdoor adventures. From swimming with turtles to paddleboarding through cenotes, discover the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation in this enchanting destination.

Discover Tulum’s Natural Wonders

Tulum, a gem on the Yucatán Peninsula, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. As the winter sun casts a gentle glow over the region, it’s the perfect time to explore the outdoor wonders that Tulum has to offer. With temperatures ranging from a comfortable 62°F to 80°F, the weather is ideal for a weekend of adventure and relaxation.

Start your day with a Turtle and Cenote Adventure tour, available from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM. This excursion takes you to the serene Akumal Beach, where you can snorkel alongside majestic sea turtles in their natural habitat. The experience is both exhilarating and calming, as you float in the clear waters, surrounded by the gentle giants of the sea. Afterward, venture into the jungle to discover the Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich, a magical oasis where you can swim in mineral-rich freshwater. The cenote’s tranquil beauty is a perfect contrast to the vibrant marine life of Akumal.

“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 on 2024-11-30

Paddleboarding Through Paradise

For those seeking a more active adventure, the Cenote Paddleboarding tour offers a unique way to explore Tulum’s natural beauty. Available from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, this tour takes you to Casa Cenote, where you can paddleboard through the crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush mangroves. The experience is both invigorating and peaceful, as you glide across the water, taking in the stunning scenery.

The tour also includes snorkeling, allowing you to explore the underwater world of the cenote. With the guidance of a local expert, you’ll discover the vibrant marine life that calls this unique ecosystem home. After your adventure, enjoy a delicious lunch of authentic Mexican tacos, a perfect way to refuel after a morning of exploration.

“Beautiful and fun experience! - Our Guide Mauricio was very cool and friendly. The day was cloudy and rainy so he gave us the option to go to a different cenote/Lagoon where we would enjoy more the water and also gave us the option to go eat before the tour as it was just me and my fiance. It was a very nice experience in a beautiful place.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-02

As the day winds down, relax on one of Tulum’s pristine beaches. The soft sand and gentle waves provide the perfect setting for unwinding after a day of exploration. With the sun setting over the horizon, it’s a moment of pure tranquility, a fitting end to a day of adventure and discovery in Tulum.
