Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya

Vasu_E, Jul 2026

The boat ride to the...

The boat ride to the whale sharks will be bumpy and if you get motion sickness you will most probably get it here but the people are very nice and helpful if you do end up getting seasick, just something to keep in mind. Other than that the experience was amazing. Everyone got to see the whale sharks even if you were staying on the boat. If you didn’t know how to swim you were still able to do the snorkeling with the guides help. Isla Mujeres was beautiful, and the food and people were so amazing. Overall it was really a once in a lifetime experience!

This the one you want!!!

I'm definitely glad I booked with them. No extra stops, it was just as I needed unlike the other companies... My locations wasn't on the list and they provided me with a locations that was closer than what I had picked (I truly appreciated that) . Damien was an awesome guide and gave interesting information. The extra money versus the other companies was worth it.... I was back at my room b43.... I didn't want to be gone all day like the other companies were offering.... 10 out of 10 I truly recommend...

Magic at the Mayan Temple!

This experience is ONE of a Kind!! Worth the money!! Eric was incredible, super knowledgeable and amazing. Very good communication I just booked and rested easy, he took care of everything. It was our first time traveling to the temple with a 7, 9 and 16 year old, and they learned so much and we all said he was the best! I even had a minor medical issue that he took care of right away and we were able to continue the trip. This VIP tour is an absolute must if you want to see the 7th wonder of the world and learn all about the Mayan traditions and magical culture.

Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour

Callie_R, Jul 2026

Brilliant Day Out!

Excellent Day out - our guide, Andreas, was extremely knowledgeable & very friendly. Maxwell was a top notch driver too! Tulum ruins are not to be missed, amazing views and a great piece of history. During our swim we were lucky enough to encounter some sea turtles, along with an array of fish and a stingray! The cenote stop was breathtaking and very peaceful, followed by a lovely lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Lucas_T, Jul 2026

Cesar and Carlos are the best!!

Where should I start? Carlos and Cesar from SAT Mexico were absolutely fantastic. It was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a tour. Cesar was the most passionate and caring man you’ll ever meet about the history and deeply meaningful culture of the Mayan people. If you want a fun and engaging experience surrounding the rich culture of Mexico. Cesar and Carlos are your people. The value for money is great, the excursion to the Cenote is a real fun experience with great food and better service. But the highlight of the tour is the visit to the Chichen Itza. Cesar explains all of the intricate details of the historical site in fantastic fashion. Everything you ever wanted to know about the site is in his head, just ask. Overall, my partner and I (Grace) could not of been happier with experience, we hope those who choose to use this tour in the future have as much fun as we did. - Lucas and Grace - 02/07/26

Tulum, Snorkeling with Sea Turtles, Cenote and Beachside Lunch

Stephanie_M, Jun 2026

Everyone should do this trip!

We had an incredible experience on this trip! The mini bus arrived on time and everything was well organised! We had Jorge Luis and I’m sorry I forgot the drivers name but they were both friendly, funny and always made sure we were ok, well hydrated and not hungry! We got complimentary water and snacks on the bus! The trip itself is one everyone should do! The Mayan Ruins were incredible to see! Luis gave us a tour with lots of interesting information and then we had an hour to walk around ourselves! Then we went to the cenote! Which were stunning!!!! We had a Mayan perform a ritual on us! We went into the deepest cave we were allowed in and Luis told us the history and how it all worked! (Pre warning it’s cold but you get used to it!)! The turtles were next! We saw so many turtles it was amazing to see them in their natural habitat! The day we went it was a little choppy at sea but we still managed to see them clearly and quite a few of them! (Even a baby one!) Finally we went to lunch! It was on a lovely secluded beach and the food was delicious! All in all a fantastic trip! Highly recommend!

Laura_H, Jun 2026

Magical Cenote is truly breathtaking !

The magical Cenote was very impressive! For me one of the best experiences of the trip. Just breathtaking. The snorkeling was not good for us because of the time of year. We went in mid June and the ocean was kicking up seaweed and debris so we were unable to see very much at all. It was still fun but that experience I would reserve for a different month. From what I'm told between December and mid April would have been much better for that.

Alex_S, May 2026

Carlos was great

Carlos took us around and he was an absolutely amazing guide. He knew a lot of the history but struck the right balance of how much info to give and didn’t make things up - if it wasn’t known he’d say so. He was super friendly and gave great recommendations for other places on our trip, arrived on time and was stocked with cold waters. Driving was great, lunch was great. Great conversationalist but equally didn’t talk our ears off unnecessarily! Best of all he sprung into action and found my wallet after I lost it at the sinkhole - you got the impression you were in very safe hands with Carlos and he could get you out of any scenario if needed. Very cool guy overall and would highly recommend asking for him! We travelled from London.

Xcaret Park Entry Tickets with Cultural Night Show Included

Beautiful Park with Amazing Wildlife and Great Experiences

The park is absolutely beautiful! The animal habitats are spacious and designed to feel completely natural, with flowing streams, waterfalls, and lush vegetation throughout. We especially enjoyed the butterfly house, aviary, dolphins, and tortoises — each area was thoughtfully maintained and easy to explore. Be prepared to walk quite a bit, but the park is easy to navigate by following the colored tiles (blue, red, black, or green) embedded in the walkways. We stopped for lunch at Las Bocas Restaurant (#41 on the map), an open-air spot that turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. We ordered the chicken and steak fajitas, which were absolutely amazing — perfectly seasoned and fresh. My husband enjoyed a cold beer served in a frosty glass, and I had their fresh-squeezed lemonade, which was refreshing on a warm day. The total was around $50 USD, which we felt was an excellent value for the quality and service. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The park also features two rivers you can swim in — one easy and one more challenging. We chose the more advanced one. The first half was smooth and relaxing, but the second half swims against the current, so you’ll need to be a confident swimmer. In most areas, you can’t touch the bottom, so I wouldn’t recommend this one for young kids or weak swimmers. Definitely bring water socks, as some of the rocks you might brush against are sharp and lava-like. Life jackets are required for both rivers, and fins are available if you want them (we chose to go without). There are multiple locker areas for towels and clothes, and you’re allowed to bring your own water bottles — there are refill stations throughout the park. They also sell canned water for about $20 pesos. We purchased our tickets through Viator, and upon arrival, we exchanged the electronic tickets for wristbands at the ticket window (photo ID required). We arrived by taxi right at opening, which was perfect because the park stayed quiet for the first few hours before the bus groups arrived. All in all, this park was a fantastic experience — beautiful scenery, well-cared-for animals, delicious food, and plenty to explore. We’d absolutely recommend it and would love to visit again!
