Tulum, cenote swim, turtle snorkelling and beach club combo tour

4.6/5
122 reviews

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

    A mixed bag We set off from Cancun at 6.20am and returned just past 7pm. With a 9 yr old it was a long day. After picking other guests up it was 3 hrs before our first experience. Tulum Mayan site was fantastic & the Cenote was a real highlight. Unfortunately, our swimming with turtles was cancelled due to windy conditions. As we were looking forward to this the most this wasn’t ideal. Our guide Steph was first class, a pleasure to spend a day with. At £450 for 3 it was far to hugely overpriced.

    The whole experience was amazing, tour guide was fabulous, friendly very professional and funny at the same time, the cenote was absolutely spectacular, ticked all the boxes. Read reviews about being rushed and needing more time, if you want two hours at tulum ruins then catch a lift noy a multi excursions experience, this is my second time with different cenote and it took my breath away. Beach side food was grand , very attentive hosts at the beach side bar, 20/10

    Very enjoyable day out. Cesar the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and humourous Transport comfortable and clean Driver Lous very safe and careful Guide at Tulum Ruins very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions. Cenote- amazing couldn’t fault Akumal Turtle beach- wow! Couldn't fault Beach restaurant- food tasty and coffee sweet but nice. Only complaint about the trip was the price £150 pp is very steep and because of that we didn't purchase any other excursions.

    Our hotel has 2 receptions it wasn’t at all clear where we had to start. We enjoyed the whole trip although the changing facilities were pretty prehistoric. The photo package on offer at $80 or $100 was outrageous no one bought any hugely overpriced. The meal at the end of the trip was a long detour a good 30 minutes away from the turtles along a very bumpy track. Having preordered during the morning they managed to get it wrong. It really wasn’t worth the effort.

    Felt was a little rushed. Turtle snorkelling too crowded so not enjoyed. Food was too late.
