Snorkel with turtles and visit to a cenote - I have taken the excursion to Akumal where I snorkeled, saw turtles and corals, it was a very, very good experience! After this, we went to a cenote that you should visit, because it was incredible. Juan was our guide and he was very nice, polite and a great professional. He made sure that everything was fine, he accompanied us at all times and also guided us into the cenote and explained everything necessary, and we met all the times, without waiting. Juan made this tour a very very nice experience and exceeded my expectations!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Luis was the driver who took us from one place to another, he also offered us very good service. I took this excursion with my partner. Me Spanish and the Dutch, we both loved it. -------- I have done the excursion to Akumal where I snorkelled, saw turtles and corals, it was a very good experience!

A unique experience!! 💗 - Beautiful experience!!!! A tour that is totally worth it. Excellent service in everything: punctuality, treatment and places visited. The swimming experience with roderugas was simply wonderful, observing them in their natural space is a fascinating experience. The cenote in the cavern was something that I could not imagine, a beautiful place to enjoy and learn. Many thanks to Juan, who was our guide in this experience. He was attentive to the group at all times, making the experience very enjoyable. Great ease of connecting with the group and being aware of what we needed. I really liked the care they give to nature, their instructions are always precise and focused on taking care of the environment. Thank you very much for all your attention, an excellent experience from the confirmation of the reservation to the closing of the tour... without a doubt, I would repeat it!!

An experience to live! - An incredible experience! The tour is very secure and respectful of the fauna and flora. Yvan taught us a lot about the history of the cenote and the history of the earth in general. It was a very beautiful moment shared with the whole group.

Swimming with the turtles - We had an amazing time on this tour. It was a half day experience that started with swimming with some green sea turtles. We saw so many and they were so beautiful. It was great that they were in a sanctuary being protected by locals. Then we went to the cenota, we had a tour through the center. It was really cool to see all the bats and learn about the cave. I would totally recommend Terry as a tour guide if you are into or interested in preserving nature. He was super knowledgeable about the history and very conscious about our impact in nature. And as a bonus he let us collect mangos that had fallen from a tree just outside the cenota !!

A 10 for excursion - The adventure has been unforgettable. Both the diving with turtles and the exploration of the cenote have been extraordinary. I want to express my gratitude to Frank for taking us to all the places and for the wonderful jungle massage. Furthermore, I want to highlight the excellent work of Nancy as a guide, who has accompanied us in an exceptional way and has made sure that we did not lack anything at any time. I 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting this area of Mexico.

Perfect half day tour - This was a well organized excursion from beginning to end. Terry, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure our day went well. The turtle experience was wonderful*. Terry made sure our personal items were secure and handed us off to the guides who led us in the water. We saw several green and black turtles, fish, squid, sting rays and an eagle ray. *A note that my 8yo was towed by 1 guide and was comfortable putting her face in the water. Just complained of the cold. My 6yo, towed by the 2nd guide, was nervous before going in, and the cold and slightly too large face mask and not willing to put his face in made for a miserable time for him. Just adding this to keep in mind in you have a child who is hesitant. He did like seeing the turtle pop its head out of the water. We had a short break with juice and tacos dorados, really tasty! Then off to the cenote. Terry and our driver, Speedy Gonzalez!, both were on this part. The water definitely took some getting used to, and the kids complained of the cold, but it was a unique experience that we all enjoyed. This was our first time doing an excursion in Mexico and I wouldn't hesitate to use this company and guide again!

Akumal and NoHoch, not to get lost - We had an excellent guide named Job and a very good driver called “Chucho”. We went to Akumal, a very good beach to swim with turtles. Then we went to the Nohoch cenote, Job guided us into the cenote, which is closed. An experience not to be missed. Thanks Job!!!!!

Excellent experience in acumal and cenote Nohoch with Job the guide and Chucho the driver - Excellent day with the guide Job and Chucho the driver, the time in Acumal swimming with turtles, manta rays and fish was a very good experience and recommended, as was the experience in the closed cenote Nohoch, in which we swam and Job told us everything about the cenote while we swam. At all times he was attentive and took care of us and the truth is that the cenote is something impressive. Job served us with soft drinks and snacks and made our day excellent. Also noteworthy is that he always gave us time to enjoy and rest on our own on Acumal beach and in the cenote. 100% recommended with them
