Coba Experience - Our guide, Alan, was amazing. Aside from his great depth of knowledge regarding Coba, Mayan history and culture, as well as the modern life of Mayans, his passion for these people and their culture made for a fantastic day of learning and adventure and I would love to continue my own learning of this history. The swim with the sea turtles was fun! We saw 3 or 4 turtles of various sizes as well as other really great sea life. To cap off a great day, the delicious lunch on the beach gave us time to talk over our experience before having time to play in the waves.

Coba, Akumal & Punta Venado - We set the tour through our hotel. The Coba tour was incredible and the guide provided many additional information about the structures. We also enjoy riding the little bike taxis in there. The Akumal snorkeling with tortugas on the other hand felt rush, plus the place was extremely crowded. Lunch was at Punta Venado and it was delicious and the beach was nice.
