Beautiful Akumal experience - Our guide and associated staff were wonderful. Super knowledgeable about the area and very conscious about our impact on the area. They stressed being careful about many things to help leave our site visits as undisturbed as possible which was important to us as visitors.
Ruben and Jimena, in addition the to the above, were also very patient and worked hard to create a stress free low pressure tour. We never felt rushed at any stage of the tour and were 100% fulfilled and more than happy at the end. We will definitely go with Ocean Tours again!

Amazing tour. Highly recommend it - We had an awesome time snorkeling with the turtles and got to see so many. The cenote was beautiful and nice cool water. Our driver Sergio navigated the traffic well and got us all there safely, and with good music along the way. Mel took some amazing photos for us, and we will be sharing them with our friends and family. Rachelle was a great guide. She was knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy sharing her knowledge with us all. She also kept everything light and fun. Rachelle also made sure everyone was safe and comfortable in the water. Highly recommend this trip and this crew.

A must- do excursion!! - This excursion was phenomenal. At Akumal, we saw about 10 sea turtles, a squid, and a giant ray. The cenotes portion of the tour was incredible. We were the only tour group in the cave, so it felt very private. Our guide Max was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and upbeat. Rodrigo, our photographer, did a fantastic job capturing planned and candid images. I have taken a few snorkeling and cenotes tours in the past, and this is by far the best!!

Excellent tour. Lots of sightings and great guide! - Caesar Padilla was our guide. He referred to the group as Caesar Salad when he wanted our attention so right off the bat, he was personable and funny. I don't swim and my 15 y/o daughter was afraid to go snorkeling but Caesar made us super comfortable and took extra care of us. We saw MANY turtles, a sting ray, doral fish, rainbow fish etc. It was an awesome experience. From there we drove to the cenotes and this was amazing. It's a very unique experience and totally worth it. They even gave us water, fruit and empanadas! I highly recommend this tour. It's worth every cent!
