Swimming with turtles and Coba archaeological site tour

Dive into an unforgettable adventure on this full-day Mayan legacy tour. You'll kick off the day with a swim with native sea turtles in their natural habitat in Akumal. This spot is known for its colourful coral reefs and the green sea turtles and tropical fish often found hanging around here – the seagrass beds in Akumal Bay are like underwater meadows, and the turtles love to chow down here.

Next, you'll head over to Coba for a traditional Mayan lunch. There's a tasty buffet of typical Yucatan food on the menu, most of which feature traditional recipes passed down through generations.

Then, you'll step back in time at the archaeological site of Coba, nestled in the Yucatan Peninsula's jungle. As you wander along the stone paths here, known as sacbes, you'll retrace the footsteps of ancient Mayans and see the temples and monuments, known as stelae, that were part of their daily life. This includes the towering Nohoch Mul Pyramid, one of the tallest in the Yucatan Peninsula.
