A great adventure in Tulum - We had a fabulous day, even through torrential rain! Oto was a super fun guide & Frederico was awesome driving us. We saw lots of turtles and really loved exploring the Cenotes -so cool. I would highly recommend this tour. They picked us up in a very nice, clean van with air and made sure we had a fun day all around. It was a perfect amount of time for us as a 1/2 day trip.

Excellent guided Tour to Tulum, Akumal and Cenote - The part of the tour in Tulum was a bit short in time, but in generel it was very well organized and we got all relevant advises from our guide Pablo. The snorkling in Akumal with Seaturtles was nice and met our expectations. One should be aware that the snorkling there is very touristic and you are not on your own, but everything is well organized. The highlight was defenetly the swimming in a cave canote - truly an unforgettable experiance. Compared to many other available tours around Playa del Carmen, our Pablo did an excellente job during the hole tour. Also our Driver Mr. Tom Cruise didba great job and was really caring about us.

Fun day with the turtles and cenote - Great half day excursion. Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, get access to snorkel with turtles and explore a cenote. Easy pickup and drop off for transportation. Everything was great and I highly recommend seeing both locations. They also had a photo and camera crew follow along if you wanted to buy a package from them

Amazing trip - What an amazing trip! We 1st went swimming with the turtles and saw 6 or 7 and and a couple of stingrays too and to end the visit a sucker fish decided it was going to attached itself to my daughters leg which entertained us all. We then went to visit a cenato which was absolutely breath taking. My daughter was a bit scared by the bats and juan swam with her and really encouraged her and by the end she was loving it. The trip was run early in the morning which meant it wasnt too busy swimming with the turtles and we were the only people at the cenato. Juan and cesar were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our experience special. I would definitely booking trips with them.

Great tour guide with amazing cenote experience - I booked a tour to the sea turtles and snorkeling in a cenote through a third party. Our tour guide Juan was excellent and very professional. It would have been much cheaper to book directly. There is an additional $20 fee required at the park, perhaps for the turtle protection fee. Unfortunately the turtle experience was not so great because there are so many tourists in the water and the water quality is poor due to the seaweed. We saw three turtles and saw them surface for air which was amazing. We also saw a stingray. The water was nice and warm. The cenote experience was excellent. The water was crystal clear and we explored the cave and saw bats and blind catfish. This part was the highlight for me, even though I had been to Rio Secreto it was a different experience because we were snorkeling. The guides were also very good and our belongings were kept safe at all times. I brought my own snorkeling gear but it isn’t necessary because everything is provided.
