Very educational and fun. We started with Tulum an earlier start would have made walking in the direct sun more tolerable.We saw several turtles in Akumal but the water was very murky unfortunately that day. The Cenote was my favorite experience. A tour was a great option because we didn't rent a car to get around

Operator response

An early start in the ruins it's not possible due to the transportation time, the pick ups would be quite early and most travelers preffer a later pick up We are glad that overall you had a great time at the reef and at the cenote We'll keep improving so we can welcome you again soon for your next adventure

Tulum Ruins, Snorkeling with Turtles and Underground Caves

Our family had an amazing time visiting the Ruins, Swimming in the underground cave and Snorkeling with the Turtles. David our guide was phenomenal and had been part of the tours for 5 years. This went longer than expected and we appreciate it from being picked up at our Dreams resort at 9 a.m. to coming back at 6:30 p.m. Really packed in a full day experience. Note the lunch portion was actually at the very end of the adventure more toward 4 p.m. We met a lot of other nice folks from all over including Canada, Pittsburg, Colorado and we are from the Chicago area.

Operator response

For out staff the goal is to keep everyone safe and having the most amount of fun possible We are glad that you enjoyed the staff performance and the locations! Akumal is a nature wonder filled with life, it goes perfect with the Tulum ruins We would love to welcome you again, there's still plenty more to explore!

So much more than expected!

We expected to see the ruins, go snorkeling, and swim in a cenote. We got that and so much more! Our guide was so caring and made sure everyone was accommodated and able to enjoy themselves. Highly recommend Ismael as the guide and Fabian as the driver! We were over an hour away and they still came to pick us up and Fabian navigated the busy streets with ease. Not included in cost but very reasonable is a photographer who will take photos of you so you don’t have to!

Operator response

It's always great to know that our staff is giving their best! Tulum, Akumal and an undergrouns cenote is an amazing combination for a great day to remember The Riviera Maya has still plenty more to offer, we hope to welcome you again for your next adventure
