What to expect

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

    David was an amazing knowledgeable guide giving so much info and answering all the questions. The cenote was an experience unlike anything I’ve done before. The snorkelling is at a turtle sanctuary and we saw at least 5 up close!

    David, who was the tour guide was amazing. The walk around the Mayan ruins at tulum was amazing but ensure you keep yoy self covered in the sun, David did provide umerbellas for share which was amazing. Then the canote was amazing but the greatest was the swimming with turtles. The provided lunch was at a private beach and was very lovely. Over all it was a fantastic day

    More time in Tulum to see the whole site. Only saw half and at a fast pace. Would have preferred to either be picked up earlier or finished later - an extra half an hour would be something rather than rushing

    The whole experience was fantastic. The guide was excellent and we learned so much on the Tulum guided walk. From there the cenote was amazing and then we swam with the turtles. The day could not have been better, we were able to leave our belongings on the mini bus whilst taking part in the activities so we weren’t worried about our things. The guide and driver were amazing, we were given cool water throughout the day and fruit bars to keep our energy going. Lunch was also fantastic.

    Our Cancun Adventures guide, Rudy was excellent. He was with us at all times, guiding us around Tulum (and finding shade!), got in the water with us at the Cenote to take us into a deep, dark cave by torchlight and to accompany us on our snorkeling with turtles at Akumal. Rudy had our enjoyment and safety as his priority throughout and took us to a beach club for lunch at the end. Rudy even provided us with water and snacks on the minibus. Excellent trip.

    Everything was great, the guides, the experiences, even the down pour at the end of the beach club meal didn't ruin it. It's not cheap for a family of 4, especially with the $140USD photo package on top, not mandatory and we did get 77 photos, but an amazing day
