Tulum Ruins Cenote and Swimming with Turtles from Playa del Carmen

Great activity! You begin by visiting the Tulum ruins (have to pay the extra tax fee $12 USD) - be prepared to walk ALOT so wear comfortable shoes. After this they Will take you to snorkel with the turtles - beautiful experience. Finally they take you to a cenote (have to pay 3 USD for lifevest). Finally you go to eat at a buffet restaurant where they also have souvenirs available. (Drinks are not included extra cost)

Great Tour, very kind and friendly guides, totally recommend. We loved the Cenote and swimming with turtles. It was very hot, bring an umbrella or a hat for Tulum’s tour.

It was a good tour. Good communication and friendly. Tour guides. Good stories to tell friends. Recommend the tour for sure

The directions to the meeting place where a joke, and impossible to find. We could not meet the tour group because of road closures and poor directions.

An all day adventure that was beautiful! Celene our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely an experience we will never forget. One of the highlights of our girls trip!

We were met at our Hotel by a dirty van that dripped condensation from the air conditioning vents on the ceiling. If you can even call it air conditioning. There were 14 of us. They brought a van that fit 12. We were told by the driver that this was just a ride to the meeting spot. We were taken to mega store in the middle of playa del Carmen to check in. We were left there for almost two hours. Apparently, it’s a ploy to get you to spend money at their store. ( or at least one they get paid a commission on) After the two hour wait we find out that we are in the same van and that they were splitting our group up with the rest of the tour. This tour was supposed to be a max of 18 as stated in the website. It ended up being 28 people. Two people from our group had to ride in a different van. The Tulum tour was nice and our guide was from there, so he was informative. We then went to the cenote and we were told that we could not swim unless we had life vests, oh and by the way the life vests are $3 per person. I would have been totally fine with that if they had told us up front but I am not a fan of bait and switch or non disclosed up charges. We were taken to a lunch in the jungle. This was the best part of the day! It was delicious and the staff was friendly. The swim with the turtles has become so commercial and was disappointing. I would not recommend this company or this tour. I would recommend renting a car and exploring by yourself.

Our guide was wonderful. Friendly. Easy to understand and very helpful. He had a great understanding of what he told us about and shared with us. Especially in Tulum. I would not do the sea turtles part again. We did see a few sea tuetles and other wildlife in the water, but there were far too many people following the one or two guides. I got kicked in the face several times despite trying to put plenty of room between me and others. And it was too difficult to try to all see one turtle with such a large group.

Where do I begin?! First of all, major shout out to our tour guide Herlan! He was absolutely wonderful and we never once had to wonder what we were doing or where we were going. If you go on this I would strongly recommend suggesting to be in his group. He told us ALL ABOUT the Mayans and the rich history of the ruins with plenty of time to explore. The cenote was awesome and a wonderful refresh after being in the sun with the ruins. Fyi, there is almost ZERO shade, wear short sleeves and a hat. Even w/ sunscreen you will burn. The buffet Mayan lunch was super tasty. Lastly, the swimming w sea turtles was AWESOME!!!! We saw so many turtles and other sea life. This tour was 100% worth the money and a great deal.

Our guide was AMAZING! We love Herlan! Tummy was great and the Cenote was our favorite. Akumal was a disappointment, they grouped us with about 20-30 people, we couldn’t really see much and kept getting kicked.

This was such an amazing experience, from walking through the ruins, to jumping 6.15 meters in to a cenote and then ending the day with swimming way out in the ocean to see the beautiful sea turtles. The staff was amazing and very attentive made sure everyone was hydrated and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this. If you’re not a great swimmer or if you get tired they have life jackets and they’ll help you get out to the turtles!
