What to expect

An underwater adventure – in two very different settings. This half-day tour ventures into the heart of the Yucatan jungle and the reefs of the Caribbean for contrasting experiences. You'll swim in the mystical surroundings of a cenote and snorkel with turtles in a protected bay.

Kick off by heading inland to a sacred cenote. Here, you'll get to swim in one of the most beautiful cenotes in the region. This underground pool opens up to reveal a cavern of stalactites and stalagmites, where you can swim in cool, fresh water. It's easy to see why these natural cathedrals were so revered by the ancient Maya.

We'll then travel to Akumal Bay to spot turtles near the protected reef. Three species call this bay home – green, hawksbill and loggerhead. You'll be joined by an expert guide and a small group of snorkellers – a maximum of 16 – so that you can make the most of this experience. There'll also be time to explore the reef even further, admiring fish and rainbow-coloured coral, before returning to your hotel in the early afternoon.

    Skøn tur med fantastiske bademuligheder men info om man skulle have omklædt til badetøj hjemmefra var mangelfuld i Tilbudet. Ligeledes ville et forventet tidskema til dagen være en god ide Faciliteterne til omklædning ved skildpadder var ok men omklædning og toiletter ved grotten var meget ringe og ikke specielt sanitær… men det lykkedes. Mad på turen var en smule mangelfuld og der manglede lidt konkret info fra guiden på hvor og hvornår der så ville være mulighed for at købe mad/frokost.

    En tryg og veltilrettelagt oplevelse, som dog ikke varede de 8 timer den var slået op med. Det var regn og koldt. Det vil være en god ide hvis I anbefaler at man medbringer flere håndklæder samt en tør trøje/ bluse

    Dyr utflykt för ett par timmar. Hade velat få mer information av guiderna och lite mer tid på varje plats. Ganska forcerat.

    Vi kunne godt have brugt 30-45min på restaurant ved cenoten. Bare lige for at afslutte turen med de øvrige gæster. Begge oplevelser var gode.

    Att dyka ner o en Cenote var trevligt och kul. Att snorkla efter sköldpaddor var bra men det var väldigt mycket turister där. Nästan löjligt många. Såg två stora fina men det kändes lite fel med alla människor som skulle simma till höger och vänster och liksom jaga sköldpaddorna. Det skulle säkert gått att göra det på ett bättre sätt. Tyvärr är det så det kanske funkar.
