Super experience for the entire family. Absolutely loved swimming with the turtles in their natural environment versus a tank. Highly recommend 👌

Swimming with Turtles was amazing. Tulum really hot, interesting, but needed to go around the ruins with guide. Gave an extensive explanation, which was great, but could really do with breaking down in parts rather than all at once. Overall really enjoyed.
