Explore Ancient Mayan Ruins And Swim With Sea Turtles On This Riviera Maya Adventure


Embark on a comprehensive journey through the heart of the Riviera Maya, starting with a guided exploration of the iconic Tulum Mayan Ruins. Perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea, these ancient structures offer a profound glimpse into the history and architectural brilliance of the Mayan civilization. Your expert guide will provide fascinating context about the site, allowing you to appreciate the cultural significance of these well-preserved coastal fortifications and temples.


Following the historical tour, the adventure shifts to the crystal-clear waters of Akumal, a sanctuary famous for its thriving population of sea turtles. You will have the unique opportunity to snorkel alongside these gentle creatures in their natural habitat, observing them as they graze on seagrass beds. This immersive wildlife encounter is a highlight for nature lovers, providing a peaceful and respectful way to connect with the marine biodiversity that defines this beautiful stretch of coastline.


The final leg of your excursion takes you deep into the lush jungle to discover a hidden cenote, a natural limestone sinkhole filled with cool, refreshing groundwater. These sacred subterranean pools were vital to the ancient Maya and today offer a serene oasis for swimming and relaxation. Surrounded by hanging vines and unique rock formations, the cenote provides a tranquil environment to cool off after your morning of exploration and historical discovery in the sun.


This full-day experience is designed to provide a perfect balance of history, culture, and nature, ensuring you see the very best of the region. With round-trip transportation, a delicious local lunch, and refreshing beverages included, every detail is managed so you can focus on the beauty of your surroundings. Whether you are a history enthusiast or a wildlife admirer, this tour offers an unforgettable escape into the heart of the Mexican Caribbean landscape.

The water is crystal clear, perfect for swimming and snorkeling with turtles and small fish. However, the entrance fee feels overpriced, and there is no food sold inside. If you go back to your car to grab some food, you have to buy another ticket to re-enter, which is very unreasonable. I recommend bringing snacks and lunch with you before going in.

100/10. This place was beyond beautiful. Went around 11am and there was quite a lot of people but it’s very peaceful. Everyone’s very mellow & doing their own thing. Parking free, entry fee was 500 pesos per person. This includes life jacket, access to cenote, and goggles. They made you rinse with cold water to ensure you keep water clean &you are not allowed to wear any sunscreen. We needed to give the guy an ID for goggles which was okay. We paid 30 pesos for a locker to keep my bag but other people did just leave their stuff out. Water is cold but you get used to it. It is so so beautiful, the water is super clean and clear and blue. You can see the fish swimming around you and there’s always turtles. I so recommend this cenote.

✅ Positives: Stunning clear blue water where you can spot turtles, bats, iguanas, and more. You can swim under a cave to reach the other side of the cenote’s hole. Life jackets and goggles are included with the ticket. Clean restrooms and strong showers. Very easy to access from Tulum with just a short ride. ❌ Negatives: A bit overpriced compared to other cenotes like Santa Cruz (MXN 500 vs 300 per person). 🤷 OK: Lockers available for MXN 30, but for the entry price they should be included. Easy parking, but no shade — your car will be very hot on the way back. Overall: Beautiful cenote experience with great facilities, but be prepared for the higher price.
