Excellent unique experience of Tulum ruins, swimming with turtles and swimming in a Cenote - highly recommended.

Paul_R, Mar 2026

Wonderful unique experience covering the Mayan Tulum ruins, swimming with turtles in Akumal bay and a Cenote. One of us can’t swim well and this was accommodated on the turtles with extremely helpful staff. Good guide for Tulum and good overall guide for the day Max. Very good mela at the Cenote. Swimming in the Cenote that involved underground swimming was superb. You will need to buy a rash vest to protect against the strong sun because you cannot wear sunscreen. Also, buy swimming shoes beforehand because the rocks in the cave can be sharp. The tour company should give advice on the rash vest (but you could buy them from them) because they are available in resorts. Photos provided for the three activities were excellent.

Amazing day for a family!

A great tour to make the most of a day- ruins, turtles and cenotes, plus a delicious lunch! Our guide Ruben was beyond excellent with assisting our young kids on the tour, answering all our questions and sharing his knowledge of the area, wildlife and was very entertaining. The transportation and guidance through the day was seamless-challenging to do with children! He made the day and some amazing memories for our family!
