Embark on a breathtaking journey through time with a full-day adventure to the mystical Maya ruins of Tulum, a stunning archaeological site perched above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. This unforgettable tour blends culture, history, natural beauty, and relaxation, with lunch included to complete the experience.

Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel. As you travel along jungle-lined roads, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the ancient Maya civilisation and the intricate trade routes that once connected the Yucatán.

Arrive at the walled city of Tulum, one of the most picturesque and well-preserved Maya sites. Set atop coastal cliffs with sweeping views of the Caribbean, this site is rich in history and legend.

Recharge with a regional buffet lunch featuring authentic Yucatecan dishes and refreshing drinks, the perfect way to fuel your adventure and taste the local culture.

    Traveled with family

    2x adult and 1x child. All enjoyed our tour around Tulum with the very knowledgeable Carlos! Gave great insight about Tulum and the Mayans and was interactive from pick up to drop off. Our driver Migual, also our guide in Cenote Nohoch was great, helped my daughter (7) and adapted the Cenote tour accordingly, for which we were grateful. Overall no complaints, highly recomended

    Avoid at all costs! Pickup time was changed twice, resulting in an unacceptable 2.5-hour delay from the original 7 am schedule. Contacting TUI for a refund was futile; they cited their regulations and contract as justification for the changes and offered only a 10% discount voucher instead. This level of unreliability, poor communication, and refusal to provide a proper refund is unethical and ruined our experience. We will never use this company again.

    The cenote that this tour visits is very private, with limited visitors which meant we had a really great visit, some of the others are massive and too busy. I thoroughly commend our guide Tomas for making an unforgettable experience. He helped me swim through the cave when I was scared which meant I didn't miss out on an amazing experience.

    I thought the trip was amazing value for money with two incredible experiences included. Also, there wasn't much trying to sell in shops and with local producers as on some other tours. The guide and driver were both brilliant. I have only knocked points off the tour as the pickups in the morning take hours and you have to transfer onto another bus.

Nat Geo Day Tour : L'importance de restaurer les récifs coraliens de Cancún

Ce National Geographic Day Tour exclusif vous emmène explorer les merveilles du système de la barrière de corail méso-américaine. Sous la conduite de spécialistes de la mer, profitez de l'occasion unique de plonger en apnée afin de constater l'impact de l'homme sur le récif et d'assister au blanchiment des coraux. Vous continuez avec un exposé sur les mesures à prendre pour restaurer les récifs. Vous embarquerez et prendrez la mer lorsqu'elle est plus calme, avec le cap mis sur deux différents récifs, chacun touché par le blanchiment dû au réchauffement climatique, à la pollution de l'eau et aux microplastiques. Vous visiterez le récif appelé El Meco, abritant les plus jeunes coraux et donc d'intérêt particulier. Les bateaux utilisés pour l'activité sont certifiés par le Pavillon Bleu pour le tourisme durable, garantissant que votre excursion s'inscrive dans le cadre de pratiques respectueuses de l'environnement. En chemin, vous ferez connaissance avec la faune locale et un repas composé de burritos est prévu le midi. Cette excursion vise à sensibiliser à la protection des écosystèmes marins, ce qui est l'objectif du projet Pristine Seas, parrainé par le National Geographic. Ce projet a mené des expéditions au Banco Chinchorro, une partie importante du système récifal mésoaméricain. Le travail de ce projet souligne l'importance de préserver les environnements marins de l'influence humaine, tout en protégeant les derniers endroits sauvages de nos océans. En participant à cette excursion, vous devenez un contributeur essentiel de l'effort de préservation et de protection du fragile système méso-américain de la barrière de corail. Vous constatez par vous-même les merveilles de l'océan et vous apprenez à mieux connaître les récifs coralliens et leur rôle essentiel dans la biosphère.
