Cenote and tortues - Our guide, Yar, is a very kind, vocational and enthousiastic guide who even managed to make us forget the crowd around the tortues (🥺🐢) But as a marine biologist, she really made our tour in the cenote an even more unique experience ! Well done Yar, thank you so much ! 👍🙏👌

Highly recommended - We did a half day trip snorkelling with turtles and then on to a cenote. We had a fabulous time. Our guide was Jar and she and her team, the driver, the guide on the beach and the photographer were all great. A special mention about Jar - she was such a friendly person and made the trip extra special as she was very informative and shared her knowledge of the wildlife and made the swim in the cenote special with all the information she gave us. Highly recommend this trip

Mystical and majestic natural wonders await! - What an experience! One of the best excursions I’ve ever taken in all my trips to Mexico! Our tour guide, Jar, impressed us with her knowledge of marine life and her kindness to our fellow travelers. We swam with the turtles in akumel on one of the best beach approaches that is easy for people of all fitness levels to participate and saw many turtles in their natural habitat swimming on the sea floor and among us. Then we headed to the cenote nonoch nah chich, an extensive and elaborate living cave system with stalagmites and stalactites that scuba divers are still studying. Jar took great detail in explaining to us the wonders of the cave and the beauty surrounding us. The entry into the water is crystal clear and deep blue and turquoise surrounded by jungle. There is a mystique to the caves but not overrun by tourists. There is time to enjoy and explore. We were picked up and driven safely to and from our resort by Armando. We loved our experience and would do it all again! Don’t miss this tour!

Worth doing, but don't crowd the poor turtles! - Went with my daughter, we enjoyed the trip with Oto and Caesar. To is very knowledgeable, a fantastic tour guide. The cenote experience was especially beautiful. Visiting the turtles was far too busy and I feel the turtles should be left to themselves or only small crowds. I felt guilty about crowding up the turtles habitat. People were pushy, a bit rude pushing to see the turtles and got too close. Wonderful day, nonetheless! Got us there quick up and back, very friendly!
