An exceptional guide for an unforgettable trip - We were in the Riviera Maya for about 7 days for our honeymoon. We chose Cancun Adventures as it was one of the operators available at our resort, and it was certainly a great choice. We made two visits with them: one to Chichen Itza in the morning and another to Cobá, where the second was complemented with a snorkeling activity to see turtles. We were accompanied by Lalo, who was by pure chance our guide on both occasions, and we did not know until after the first day how lucky we were: his explanations were as fun as they were instructive, always willing to extend the planned tour further and provide you with more details if you wanted. would like to learn a little more about the Mayan culture and Mexico. Although the adventures were already promising, although that is easy with archaeological sites as interesting as Chichen Itza, you made us enjoy them even more. As for the organization, we were also accompanied on our trips by the drivers "Sexy Romero" and "Danny Moon" who made a trip, a little compressed in the van, something more enjoyable with the music and the cold water and food that they provided us. We had enough time in both Chichen Itza and Tulum to fully enjoy the complexes, which is not very common when traveling in a group with such strict schedules. The snorkeling activity with turtles was much more impressive than we expected, highly recommended if you like marine life. You achieved your goal, Lalo, since without a doubt we took a little piece of Mexico with us and largely thanks to you!

Our guide, Luis, was... - Our guide, Luis, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the Yucatan peninsula. The tour even included tricycles driven by a local operator at the ruins, which was great as I injured my knee before our trip. They provided us with water and snacks during the day, and our lunch in the afternoon was delicious. I will do this again if I bring other friends here to visit!

Swimming with turtles and underground cave swimming - Great tour conducted expertly by Arun. Dave drove us and was safe, friendly and efficient. Arun has fantastic language skills and expertly guided us swimming through underground caves and also on the beach trip swimming with turtles. Great trip well worth the cost.

Overall fun day trip. - Snorkeling adventure with the Sea Turtles was a highlight of this trip. I wish there was more time to explore Coba a bit deeper, although it is significantly smaller than many other Mayan sites.

Swimming with turtles rocked! - It was an incredible experience to swim with the turtles. We saw different sea creatures and fish. Coba was also great! The last time I went to a Mayan ruin was over 20 yrs ago. Amazing how history has changed.

An Unforgettable and Captivating Excursion - My friends and I went on the Cobá + Akumal Beach sea turtle excursion on Dec 21st, 2023 with Cancun Adventures. Our guide was Lalo (Eduardo) and our driver was ‘Sexy Corona’. Everything was so well organized and coordinated, and the day was seamless (there was quite a bit to pack into a day!). While the sea turtles+snorkeling and the beachside lunch were truly enjoyable, what stood out the most for me was the remarkable knowledge and passion displayed by our tour guide. I hadn't expected to learn so much about the fascinating past (and current) stories of the region, along with insights into the people, flora, and fauna who call it their home. The experience left me with a newfound appreciation and fascination for the Mayan civilization and culture, as well as a deeper admiration for Mexico as a whole.
