Tulum, Sea Turtles & Cenote Adventure: A Full-Day Exploration

Start your adventure with early access to Tulum’s Archaeological Zone, where you will discover the secrets of this ancient Mayan city. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, these well-preserved ruins tell a fascinating story of a civilization that thrived centuries ago. With fewer visitors in the morning, take advantage of the perfect opportunity to soak in the history and capture stunning photos. After exploring the ruins, you will have the chance to taste handcrafted Mayan chocolate and sample authentic Mexican tequila—a delicious way to experience the region’s rich culinary traditions.

One of the most magical experiences of this tour is the rare opportunity to swim alongside wild sea turtles in their natural habitat. Akumal, known as the “Place of Turtles,” is a sanctuary where these gentle creatures thrive in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. Glide through the ocean as graceful sea turtles swim just inches away, surrounded by colorful fish and vibrant marine life. This protected area offers an eco-friendly and sustainable way to interact with these incredible animals, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience you will never forget!

The adventure continues as you venture into the underground world of the Yucatán’s cenotes. These mystical freshwater sinkholes are surrounded by stunning rock formations and hidden caves, offering a one-of-a-kind snorkeling experience. Marvel at the stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-clear waters as you explore this ancient natural wonder. After an action-packed morning, sit down for a delicious regional lunch, where you can relax and savor the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. It is the perfect way to recharge before heading back to Cancun.
