What to expect

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

    The guide Adei & driver were brilliant - friendly & knowledgeable. The activities were good. Tulum & turtles. Cenote swim good, but not allowed to take cameras inside & then charged 140 USD for the official photo - total rip off. Meal at beach delicious, but didn't happen until 4pm which was too late. We were starving all day & all they provided was a bottle of water & a cereal bar - very poor for the cost of the trip! Had we known we could have taken a packed lunch.

    The Guide and driver were both great, the mini bus was fairly new, very comfortable and with air conditioning. The Cenote swim was great, unusual as it was in the dark with minimal lighting, but very different to other Cenote’s we’ve seen. Tulum ruins were interesting, as was being made to ditch our plastic water bottles to then be made to purchase a refillable plastic bottle with Tulum printed on it. Ending with a great swim with turtles and food on the beach in a local club, with Racoons!!

    Brilliant trip. Downside was being unable to take your own photos in the cenote and staff pressure to have their photos taken and then bought.

    The perfect trip cramed full of activities. The perfect amount of time at each activity and swimming with the turtles was one of the highlights of our holiday! Our guide and driver were friendly, funny and full of facts. The only let down was the price of the photos at the Cenote it was too expensive to justify and it would have been nice to have been able to buy just one not the whole lot. Lunch at the beach club was delicious it would have been nice to have a little longer there.
