What to expect

Akumal

Features

• Observe sea turtles in Akumal as you swim alongside them in the open water while your aquatic guide explains how to move calmly around marine life.

• Use the provided snorkeling equipment, including a mask and snorkel, so you can focus on the experience without bringing your own gear.

• Take advantage of private transportation with round-trip transfers and an air-conditioned vehicle, keeping your group comfortable between water sessions.

• Share this private tour for up to 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 people, depending on the option you selected at booking.

After Akumal, your tour continues inland to a cenote cave set within the Riviera Maya's jungle oasis. Here, you experience a different side of the region, with clear freshwater and cavern formations.

Features

• Enter the cenote for a freshwater swim that contrasts with the sea, exploring the cave environment under the supervision of your aquatic guide.

• Learn about Mayan culture and Mexico's history as your guide connects the cenote and surrounding jungle to local traditions.

• Keep your energy up between swims with bottled water and snacks that are included for your group during the tour.

• Note that the turtle protection program fee of MXN 400.00 per person is not included and must be paid on the travel date in Mexican pesos cash.
