What are people saying about Playa del Carmen

Denise_Z, Sep 2026

Must do!!!!

This was the most amazing experience iv ever done!!! Day starts off really early because of the pick ups and you have to drive like 30/45 mins to cancun(depending on where your staying). We stayed in playa del Carmen so it was about that far for us. They do give you small breakfast snacks when you arrive to the meet up spot. They also provide Dramamine for the motion sickness. There’s coffee and ginger tea as well. After your whale watching time to go snorkel and then after you go hang out on a sand bar and they prepare the most delicious fish ceviche ever with beer and other soft drinks. Our guide ruben was very knowledgeable about the whale sharks and is very chill and cool to talk too. You can tell he loves his job. The boat crew was also very helpful. The captain was very safe in steering the boat and victor his helper also helped us get on and off the boat. Everyone was very helpful and safe during our trip.

Tulum Ruins Guided Tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya

Rachel_F, Sep 2026

Great day trip to Tulum!

We had a great day trip to Tulum. The small 14 passenger van picked us up on time. The trip to Tulum including a few more hotel pick ups took about two hours. There was a midway stop at Adventures Cancun office where we could use the bathroom. The van had a cooler with water and snacks for us. We also picked up our tour guide Myriam there who was lovely. She was very informative on our tour of Tulum and was happy to answer any question the tour of Tulum took about one hour. I would highly recommend borrowing or bringing an umbrella. Single use plastic water bottles are not allowed in Tulum so bring a reusable, refillable bottle or you can buy one at the market there. It was very very very hot which was expected. We had some free time after the tour, which was nice. There are many shops, including coffee, ice cream, café, and a Subway right at the entrance of Tulum. Everyone wants to sell you something which is to be expected, but everyone is very nice and respectful. When we loaded back on the van they had cold bottles of water and a cold towel waiting for each of us, which was so thoughtful! We dropped Myriam off back at the office and everyone was dropped off at their respective hotels. We left at 7 AM and got back at 2 PM. Highly recommend this excursion!

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Rosie_B, Aug 2026

Amazing day!

This experience was AMAZING!!! Book it book it book it! It was a long day, but well worth it! We had an amazing tour guide Antoniou who is passionate about the culture and people of Mexico especially the Mayans. Chichen Itza was amazing and one experience to never forget! The lunch was good too. We got to swim in a cenote and had a tequila tasting in a nice quaint little town! Our driver Manny was so great and friendly and knows how to drive a tour bus and we felt safe with him and his driving! Just do it!!! Anyone who leaves a bad review doesn’t appreciate good people who are passionate!!!

Buggy & Cenote tour in Playa del Carmen by One Jungle Adventures

Dennis_S, Aug 2026

What a great experience!

Truly a great experience! Not only did we have an amazing time driving the buggies but we leaned about the culture and way of life of the people. The hand made empanadas were the best I ever had! Than to finished the excursion swimming in a cave leaning about how special and sacred they are really made this a worthwhile experience!! Not to mention our guides really made sure we were well taken care of and available to answer any questions! Definitely will do again! Thank you!!

Guided Tour to Chichén Itzá and Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch

Eddie_M, Jul 2026

Great Experience!

José Luis, Charlie, and Reynaldo were all an awesome team. Tour is long but one of the best ways to see a bit of everything. We started in the City of Valladolid, then over to gift shop/lunch, followed by Chichen Itza, and then Cenote Saamal. This was our first time in Cancun so having a tour like this made it easy for us to move around, and with the plus package, it came in handy. Overall I would recommend this tour!

Chichén Itzá Premier Tour with Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Lunch

Braden_F, Jun 2026

A good time!

This day is a lot longer than you are prepared for, so make sure you settle in with: - a spare charger - a good book - a pair of headphones - and your comfy shoes Other than that, it was absolutely amazing. Carla and her team were wonderful. We enjoyed every bit of it. Don't get too caught up in all the things they try to sell you. Just enjoy the tour for what it is. The cenote was beautiful, the little village was beautiful, and seeing the ruins site was a once-in-a-lifer time experience. Definitely something that I highly recommend. Although be prepared to spend a little more than what you spend on the trip, because as the ticket, the fees, the gate entry, and the things you buy, it starts to add up a little bit. All in all, great trip, good time.

Beach Escape: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres with Snorkeling.

Wilson_C, Jun 2026

Pirates!

I would describe it like speedboating through the Caribbean with a bunch of merry pirates. They definitly have their sea legs as they danced and climbed all over the boat. You can tell Gabby and the crew put their heart and soul into their jobs. Even though they were pirates, you knew you taken care of and made sure you were safe. The island of Isla Contoy is paradise. Untouched by humans and the water is prestine. I booked this tour because of the high reviews. I'm going to add me to this list of satisfied customers.

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!
