What are people saying about Playa del Carmen

Julian_H, Sep 2026

Great “Express” Tour

This was a great tour, especially if you’re short on time and just want to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. Many of the other tours take much longer because they include side trips to a Cenote and etc. But this fit my schedule perfectly. Great, knowledgeable tour guide, bottled water, sodas and snacks as well as sandwiches for lunch provided.

Honeymoon Group

Santi and team were so much fun and took care of us the whole way. We had a couple no shows in our group so we ended up only with 2 other couples and so we were the Honeymoon Group. The photos turned out so amazing. Definitely recommend Ocean Tours for your excursions!

Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch

Kewanda_W, Sep 2026

Amazing Experience From Beginning to End!

This excursion was amazing from beginning to end! I enjoyed every part of the day, but the snorkeling and the magical cenote were definitely my favorite parts. It’s honestly hard to choose between the two because I enjoyed them both so much. The snorkeling was absolutely incredible and such a beautiful experience. The cenote was just as amazing and something I’m so glad I got to experience. Visiting Tulum was fascinating, especially learning about the history behind the ruins and the Mayan culture. Being able to actually see everything in person while hearing the history made it so much more meaningful. Overall, this was one of my favorite excursions of my trip. Beautiful scenery, fascinating history, amazing snorkeling, and an unforgettable cenote experience. I would absolutely recommend it! 10/10!

Best ATV Tour, Horseback Riding, Zip Lines, Cenote Swim, Tequila Tasting

Corina_R, Aug 2026

The highlight of our trip!

This was the highlight of my trip! I went with three friends and we had a blast. The photo package is more than worth it, we got over a hundred high quality photos to remember the experience. All activities are well-spaced out and the staff are excellent at guiding you through each one. The rancheros that joined us for the horses sang wonderful songs, the ATV and zip line courses are each good lengths so you get a good bang for your buck, and the cenote swimming was wonderful. The tequila tasting was the just a tad bit short, we each got to pick two tequilas to try and it would have been nice to try more, but still great. The lunch at the end was delicious and the shuttle service was convenient and easy! Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good adventure, and would probably be great of children of all ages as well.

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

Alana_C, Aug 2026

Excellent trip

This trip should be your first choice for a buggy trip with an extra special Cenote swim in Mexico. We would definitely recommend and would come back to do the trip again. The buggies were a great experience. You can reach 50-60 k/h on great terrain for off road buggies. During the buggy tour, you visit a Mayan village. This was great to see how the Mayan people live and experience their culture. We ate enchiladas in a family home which were lovely. After the buggies you swim in a cenote. The cenote was a lovely surprise. We thought we were swimming in an open cenote and were pleasantly surprised with the experience in the cave.

Whether you are traveling with family, friends, partner or solo you will not be disappointed.

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.

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!

Abhimanyu_B, Jun 2026

Best combo package

“The travel company was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. We visited the Tulum ruins, and the cenote caves were the highlight—absolutely stunning and unforgettable. The turtle experience was just okay, but overall the trip was still worth every penny. I would definitely recommend it.”

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!
