A Fantastic Day!!! - We had a fantastic day! The ruins were great with a beautiful view. We were there in the morning on a breezy day, but still very hot. No sunscreen allowed to be put on in the ruins or before turtles and cenotes. Apply before leaving in the morning. I bought a long sleeve shirt from them since I was burnt from the day before. The turtles were fantastic. We saw quite a few and a ray as well. The fish were not as great as I have seen in other locations. The cenote was beautiful and a great way to end the day. We were provided tacos to eat and I quite liked those as well. Sophie was our guide and she did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this tour and company. Also our tour was 9 people. Our van held 10 I believe, so smaller than some of the other tours we saw.

Ocean Tour stands out! The best! - Alex del Rio was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, with care for the places he shared with us. Guille took incredible photos to help us capture the memories. Erick was ever reliable and his driving made me feel safe in an absolutely crazy driving environment. Will recommend and always choose Ocean Tours!

Great 3-in-1 tour! - We did a 3-in-1 tour of Tulum ruins, Akumal snorkeling with sea turtles, and then a cenote experience. Sho was a great guide for the day, and Mariano also did a really nice tour of the Tulum ruins! The 3 activities were each different and really fun — a wonderful way to experience special sights in the Yucatán Penninsula!

Unforgettable Family Experience! - This was the experience that we will forever remember about our family vacation to Mexico. Huge shout out to Hamlet, Monse, and Christian for making this so much fun! I've been on other tours of Mayan ruins, but Hamlet made this so much more engaging with his incredible knowledge of Mayan culture and his passion for nature's influence on the regional ecosystem. Diving with the turtles was certainly the highlight of the trip. I cannot overstate how Hamlet and his crew were so instrumental in making the dive fun for my family of five. They were very attentive to everyone and kept a personal watch on the little kids to make sure everyone was not only safe, but had ample opportunity to see the turtles. Though 2 of my children are not yet strong swimmers, I never had any concern about their safety or their participation. The cenote was another unique experience that was made so much more fun because of our guides. It was a great way to cool off while learning the importance of these freshwater caves to the Mayans and the jungle alike. In short, there was something for everyone. See lots of cool stuff? Check. Learn about the history and natural development of the region? Check. Have a great day hanging out with some fun-loving locals? Check. Pro-tips... - Show up in swim gear and wear long sleeves since sunscreen isn't allowed on the reef. Nobody in my family found it necessary to change clothes during the day. - Bring towels, but no need for snorkeling gear. They provide everything you need all day. - Bring cash and pay for the professional photos. At ~$20/person, we found they were very well worth it. Paying with a CC cost ~10% extra.

Must do experience , highly recommend! - We did this tour at the end of February and it was probably one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. Our tour guide Diego was fantastic, his passion for sharing the history and beauty of Mexico was infectious and he made everyone feel very safe and comfortable through the various parts of the trip. I really enjoyed the snorkeling in the ocean with the fish and it was so exciting to see a turtle. The cenote was so unique and fascinating to experience. I was blown away by the amazing photography by Fer who captured so many fun monuments from the experience. Shout out to our lovely driver Jesus who had to leave us a bit early - hope you are feeling better! I feel like this is a must do experience and you will not be disappointed!

Best Tour Ever! - We absolutely loved the cenote and the authentic lunch portion. The entire tour was phenomenal. Our guide Miguel and driver Carlos were the best. Miguel was funny and patient. He added details and life when we were at the Mayan ruins. We've done many tours from Mexico City to Europe and this was the best in terms of guides and content.

Wonderful as a small group - We had a small group of 10 people plus guide and driver which made the experience so much more special. There are extra charges so bring some cash. It was hot in Tulum I would recommend bringing water (reusable bottle only, plastic isn’t allowed in the ruins). Tulum was beautiful, very photogenic. Luckily the cenote was after Tulum so you can cool down. Lunch was great. I am vegan and had no issue eating. The snorkeling was wonderful - turtles everywhere. I brought a waterproof pouch for my phone and was able to take underwater pictures and videos. You cannot touch the turtles

Well rounded and fun day out - The guide Rafael was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The excursions were also timed well to avoid mass crowds. The cenote and Akumal bay parts of the trip also made for a fun active diversion.

Tulum,Akumal turtles and Cenote - We had the most amazing day! Ismael, Fernando and Luisa made our experience one we will never forget. They are knowledgeable, kind and full of joy!!! We went to Tulum, Akumal and a Cenote with a great authentic lunch. Our time with the turtles at Akumal was simply too good for words. My only advice for others is to make sure you have a towel, a reusable water bottle and maybe have sandals as well as walking shoes with your change of clothes. Thank you thank you thank you !
