A visit to Tulum, a Cenote and Akumal - We had an amazing time on this trip! Our guide, Ivan and driver, Juan were wonderful. They always made sure we knew the plan at each stop, had water and anything else we needed throughout. We started at the Tulum Ruins were we met up with our guide. A lot of interesting info but I would enjoy a little more free time to explore. You are able to have sunscreen on for the part of the tour and I highly recommend it or a rash guard/hat. There is minimal shade. Next we loaded up and headed to the Cenote. This was half of our groups favorite part of the trip. The water in the caves was absolutely crystal clean and cold. Very refreshing after the hot morning at the ruins. You can bring your own snorkel gear or they will provide a mask. We will definitely be going to see more Cenotes on our next trip. After exiting the cave a great buffet lunch was provided. And we were able to purchase the photos from locals that run the location. I believe it runs around $30 for 1-2 people. We paid $50 for out large family but many pics were included. Finally we headed to Akumal. We had an absolute amazing time swimming with the sea turtles. We were able to see 10+ turtles ranging in size. Plus stingrays and a few other fish. But the turtles are definitely the star of the show. They came up so close to us. When you get back out if the water there are showers and a changing room provided. Overall we had an AMAZING time on this trip and will absolutely be doing the Cenotes and Akumal again on our next visit here.

Memories and Companionship that will last a lifetime! - 5 out of 5 This tour is amazing. Jar and Juan went above and beyond time and again. We were extremely fortunate to share this tour with an amazing group that hit it off right from the begin, partly because of the rock star, Jace. Part of the group had an amazing family, where we all adopted their 2 kids for the day as the center of everything we did. Partly because the amazing personality of Jace and partly because of Jar’s unbelievable ability to show love and passion. We are still talking about the many moments shared that will last a lifetime.

Great tour! - My husband and I had a great experience on the Full Day Tulum Ruins Tour, Cenote, and Swimming with Sea Turtles. Our guide, Juan Cristóbal, was great, and made the whole day really enjoyable. We especially appreciated having photos taken during the cenote and turtle swim. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun, adventurous, and well-run day!

Cenote was great, ruins tour okay. - Sadly the sea turtle part of the tour couldn't happen because of the seaweed, but they were good at giving 3 options (cancel whole tour for refund, do the rest of the tour and get a partial refund, or change the date for free). The trip around the ruins was okay, the tour guide was a bit hard to understand and the information was slightly scattered, felt slightly rushed. There was quite a lot of people there, as to be expected for such a tourist attraction. The trip around the cenote was amazing and the best part. The guide for the cenote was great, and the cenote was absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit. This is one is a long cave system we swam around and saw bats, birds and fish. The food and amenities at the cenote site were really good too. I would recommend this tour
