Tulum, Snorkel with Turtles & Cenote Excursion During our trip to Cancun in July, We booked the Tulum, Snorkel with Turtles, and Cenote tour through our hotel with Cancun Adventures, and it was such an unforgettable experience! We were picked up early at 6:45 AM and joined a group of about 15 people. Honestly, our group was amazing , everyone got along so well that it felt like we were traveling with friends. Having great people and great guides really makes a difference on excursions like this. Our tour guides, Juan and Rene, were phenomenal! Juan, especially, stood out as one of the best tour guides I've ever had. He was super knowledgeable, funny, personable, and kept the energy high throughout the day. He managed the schedule well and could read the room, moving us along when he sensed we were ready, without making us feel rushed. First Stop: Tulum We visited the archaeological site and learned about Mayan culture while exploring the ancient ruins. It was fascinating and beautiful. Juan explained the history clearly and made it engaging. Afterward, we had time for some tequila tasting and shopping. Second Stop: Cenote The cenote was absolutely stunning -- clear blue water, cool caves, and even bats flying around. Juan shared the cultural and natural history of the cenote before we took a dip. Everyone must rinse off before entering and wear a life jacket, which keeps the environment clean and safe. A heads-up: you cannot bring your phone or GoPro, even with a waterproof case. They have staff photographers, but the photos are very expensive , $100 for the full set, or $50 for just a few individual shots. Some photos were blurry and unedited, so the price didn't feel justified. If pictures are important to you, keep this in mind before booking. Third Stop: Snorkeling with Sea Turtles This was the highlight for me! A small boat took us out into the ocean, where we jumped in and followed our guides to search for sea turtles. I saw several, and it was so cool to be that close in their natural habitat. You're not allowed to touch the turtles, you have to swim above them (to avoid contact with marine life), and the guides did a great job keeping things respectful and safe. Bring a waterproof phone case if you want to try to grab any personal footage while on the boat! Final Stop: Beach Club Lunch After all the activity, we had lunch at their beach club. The food was delicious, I had the chicken tacos and loved them. They also gave us Amaranth bars (which tasted like chocolate Rice Krispies) and Mexican coffee, both were surprisingly tasty treats to end the trip. Tips Before You Go: -Bring a change of clothes, towel, and extra snacks (they provide water and breakfast bars in the van, but more never hurts). -Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a waterproof phone case. -The van rides can be a bit long and the vans are small, so if you're tall or have long legs -- brace yourself. -Bring a portable charger and maybe a book for the longer stretches between stops -Double-check what's included -- some packages include breakfast or lunch, others don't. -Don't feel pressured to buy souvenirs unless you truly want them. Overall: This was an awesome, well-organized, and fun-filled adventure. The mix of culture, nature, and ocean fun made it a perfect day trip. I would absolutely book with Cancun Adventures again. If you get Juan as your guide, you're in for a great time!
We went on a company day trip with Cancun Adventures and had a catamaran trip out for snorkeling. The ride was smooth and when we dropped anchor at the sandbar, it was so nice to have a light lunch, drinks, and lounge in the sun. Those who wanted to could swim or go snorkeling. We even saw some sea turtles from the boat! The staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed this excursion.
We did the Magical Cenote and Rainbow Lagoon Adventure. Lucas and Jerry were the absolute best guides/driver duo! Their enthusiasm, friendliness, and knowledge of the cenote and lagoon made the day go by so quickly and smoothly (no injuries or sacrifices lol). This adventure is perfect for anyone who just wants to have a good time while trying out snorkeling for the first time. Would highly recommend this adventure for any one of any age!
Santiago was our guide for the Cenote and turtle tour with lunch. He was funny, fun, knowledgeable, and did a great job of keeping our group together. He made sure we knew everything that was coming up, gave us instructions in the van so we didn't waste time at the location, and managed expectations well. We saw three turtles on our tour (one swam right next to me) and some bats in the cenote. They clearly have their system down because they were efficient. We plan on using this company again the next time we're in town, which is often.
I went on a tour through Carnival with Cancun adventures. It was a tour that went to the Turtle Sanctuary, a Cenote and a beach club with lunch. Our guide, Jessica, was amazing. I will say overall, the tour was awesome. I did not love the turtle portion because it was overcrowded and they required everyone to wear life jackets in very shallow water. People kicked up sand and blocked others from seeing the turtles when there were any. I wouldn't do that again. The cenote was the absolute best part of the tour. It was beautiful. We got lucky to arrive when a bunch of people were leaving so only our group was there. I do think it's stupid you cannot bring cameras or GoPros, mainly because they want you to buy their photos. They took horrible photos that I had to edit afterwards, but they also sent a bunch of photos of the cenote as well. The last part was about an hour at the beach club with 5 choices to choose for lunch. I went for the shrimp ceviche. It was exceptional and the margaritas were delicious! The beach was gorgeous but not enough chairs for everyone. Again, overall, great. Jessica was amazing.
We took a day trip from Playa Del Carmen to Chichén Itzá with a stop in Valladolid for lunch. Felix was a great guide. He is really funny and knowledgeable. He and the driver took great care of us. We would definitely enjoy taking another excursion with them next time we are in the area.
Amazing experience. I went back in January for my bday. I was picked up from my hotel and transferred over to another bus. The whole time, our guides were very informative and friendly. When we got there. Cold drinks and towels were passed out and we were shown around, getting brief history and geographical information. After being shown around, we were able to roam around some more before leaving to our next stop. It was a small local/beautiful town where we were served food and drinks. The tequila I tasted was so good and sweet, I ended up purchasing a bottle. We walked around at a nearest park before bussing it back to Cancun. This was my second time with Adventures (first time was in Puerto Vallarta) and I both time, I had a great time. Looking for a third adventures with this company.
We had five people in our group. Me, hubs, two adult boys and one gf. We booked the Tulum Yalku Plus and were not disappointed! The ruins and their history were cool, the cenote was beautiful and the snorkeling at the inlet was our family favorite! Soooo many beautiful fish! Mateo was our driver. He was prompt, friendly and professional. Chang was our guide and was so friendly and personable! He did a good job keeping track of all 11 of us and was full of interesting information. We would do this tour again and will definitely use Cancun Adventures again!
We did a sail to isla mujeres with snorkeling (boat 8), and the staff was amazing!!! They made my first experience snorkeling so awesome I highly recommend! The guide gave us so many tips for what to expect and what to pay when we got off the boat to explore the city. They let us go and then took great care picking us back up.
Went on the cenote tour and the swimming with sea turtles excursions through carnival cruise and while those were both fine, the ride on the van was unacceptable. We probably spent 2 hours driving over crappy Mexican roads. Out tour guide (who was obnoxious) jokingly referred to it as a Mayan massage, but it mostly just hurt in the cramped van with broken ac. Part of the tour is driving and extra 30-40 minutes back to their restaurant on the beach (where you can't get in the water) but this unesscary and wasteful stop prevented me from visiting Cozumel during my stay. Just book with another company or go to a resort in Cozumel.
This was a great service and perfect way to spend an entire day. We opted for the adults 4 1/2 hour excursion which began with a shuttle picking us up from the hotel zone. Once we arrived there was a little gift shop and bakery on site. Our guide for the day was Antonio, who did a great job leading the group and narrating the history and key sites of the area. The initial ride is short to the first snorkeling spot, where we saw dozens of different fish species, some underwater statues, and even a sea turtle! You have to be at least an average swimmer since the snorkeling is not congregated in one area, but rather you jump off the boat and swim for around 25-30 minutes until the boat picks you up further down the water. for those not up to snorkeling there were snacks and unlimited bar drinks. After the first snorkel the boat headed closer to the island and the crew provided sandwiches (you have your choice between turkey, chicken, ham, or vegetarian). We had one more opportunity to swim before making it to the island. You get around 2 hours to explore the island so I recommend researching the day before what you'd like to do. We opted to walk around the shops and do a little swimming before grabbing lunch at the black pearl. Overall it was a great day and amazing service by our captain, crew, and guide Antonio! For those who are worried about sea sickness- I am usually prone to sea sickness but had no issues since it was shorter stints of boat travel, smooth water, and fresh open air!
Our group of 8 friends booked the excursion with the cenote and sea turtle snorkeling recently. Booking was easy through Viator, a bit pricey but worth the experience. We were picked up from our resort right at 7 am and then we made our way to the Cancun Adventures office to wait for two other couples from other resorts. This ended up taking quite a bit of time, but thankfully there is a coffee shop next door where we got some caffeine and a snack. They did offer us cold bottled water and bananas on the bus (I would bring extra snacks because by the time we finished at the cenote I was starving and had to pay $6 for a small bag of chips at the cenote). The bus was pretty crowded with 12 people, and driving back into the jungle to the cenote was VERY bumpy. Be sure to take some dramamine if you get car sick! Omar was our guide and he was amazing. He told us about the area of Mexico we were in, and talked about the cenotes and what we could expect at each stop. Once we got to the cenote, we were offered a Mayan blessing, showered off, and headed into the cenote. They do not allow any photos or devices in the cenote. (They provide a locker for your stuff.) Once you get into the cenote they take your photos, which was kitschy and VERY expensive ($50 for one photo), but I get it's part of the tour. I absolutely loved the cenote experience itself - it was so cool to learn about and Omar's background in biology made it very informative. This part was about an hour, then you could shop a bit (they are pretty pushy but you can politely decline). Then we headed on to the snorkeling portion. I personally don't really love snorkeling, but it was fun to see the turtles! We saw about 4 or 5, but it was a bit chaotic with other groups everywhere. Then we headed to the beach club for lunch. This private beach was peaceful and the food was delicious. I personally loved the beef burrito. Mix the hibiscus and lemonade half and half for a tasty beverage. There are some areas to relax and changing rooms, so bring dry clothes to change into if you want. Pack a towel! Overall the tour took much longer than I was expecting, so be sure to plan for that if you have a dinner reservation or other evening plans. But I loved the experience and Omar was awesome. read more

Wow, we loved this! We did the excursion with a cenote and sea turtle snorkel. The guides were informative, fun, and safe. The cenote was gorgeous and such a cool experience. There were a ton of people at the sea turtle snorkel area, but we were able to see several turtles up close while following the guides' rules to keep the turtles safe. Our tour also included lunch at a beach club, which was a nice size serving of tacos, burritos or ceviche. At this site, there were also clean restrooms and several places to lounge and enjoy the views. read more

I was able to do the Chichén Itzá Express with Lalo and Dennys. Lalo was our tour guide and HE LOVES everything about Mexico. He is super informed about the history of Chichén Itzá and I wouldn't ask for any other guide. He was amazing. Dennys was our driver and he got us there and back safely. They are a great duo with the jokes, history and playing games with us during our 2 and half hour trek. They were able to pick me up at my hotel at 6:30am and I was with a group of 11 people. They drove us to the infamous 5th Ave as we picked up the other riders and gave us a history about the famous street. I would definitely book again. The Express was about a 2.5 hour tour and that was honestly enough because it was SOOOOO HOT. There are many local vendors there and they sell the items for super inexpensive like $1 and they also take cards. And the price for the tour also provided us lunch at a beautiful restaurant next to Chichén Itzá, I think it's called Chichén Itzá restaurant. They had dancers and singers. it was authentic food. They also have a gift shop as well. Great time with great people. read more

We attended the luxury sailing and snorkeling experience with Cancun Adventures. Our driver was very punctual for pick up at our resort and only had one other resort pick up five minutes away. The drive to Puerto Adventuros was short and our driver let us connect to bluetooth within the car to help time go by faster. When arriving to the marina, the check in process for our specific excursion was easy and organized. We were directed to the boat, told the itinerary of the excursion, and how we would find our driver after. Once on the boat, we had wished the crew was more organized with getting our group prepared for our sailing departure as the ride to the snorkel site was 45 minutes and we were left standing to the side. Once at the snorkel site, we had all gear given to us, went in the water and were directed to areas for prime viewing. All excursions will tell one they will see a lot of sea life but it is always dependent on the day. We saw some fish and coral reef but between salt water in your breathing spout and goggles fogging up. They did, however, do a great job of leading the group in the water and ensuring we were all safe. When back on the boat, we enjoyed a small lunch, drinks, laying out, or additional water activities (paddle boarding or floating around). Our sail back was amazing as we sat up top by the sails. We liked the experience overall outside of some small details. Tip: put sunscreen on before you get to boat as application right before snorkeling is not allowed to protect the coral reef. Tip: let crew know any allergies at beginning of sail so they can accommodate. Tip: our excursion was listed as 4 hours plus travel time and we were gone for a total of 7 hours. Plan for this ahead of time! read more

Cenote and swimming with turtles in Akumal was amazing! Our guide was "Ro" (short for Rodrigo). He seemed like he really enjoyed educating us about caves, turtles, Mexico in general and the importance of preserving wildlife and respecting nature. He was interacting with us the whole ride to the excursions, and he was pretty funny too. 100% recommend! read more

We did the Tulum, Cenotes swim and snorkel trip! Enrique the tour guide (2/1/23) was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and he helped us have a wonderful day. Always willing to take a photo for me and very good about keeping track of everybody in our group. The lunch was really great - better than food from my resort. Lol! read more

They claimed we no showed. If only this were a murder case, because there are dozens of people who walked past us and there's a ton of security footage showing us sitting in the lobby waiting for the tour operator to show. Alas, when we contacted them to ask where they were, they claimed we been the no show, not them. They then "offered" to have us race down to the docks to meet the boat, though round trip transportation to/from our hotel was a significant portion of the price difference between the tour we booked and the tour where you just race to the docks on your own without the arrangement to pick up and drop off at the hotel. Can speak to the catamaran, fish, drinks, or lunch. Alas, we were simply left in our hotel lobby for over an hour before having to request a refund because they no showed. read more
I recently stayed at the ERC resort in Cancun and decided to go to Chichen Itza. Cancun Adventures was recommended by Garrett ( tour organizer)on the beach. The tour was from 6:30 am until about 3:30. That gave us about 2 hours at Chichen Itza and an hour for lunch before the drive back. I apologize for making the rookie mistake of forgetting names but I think the guides name was Raphael. Both the guide and driver were fantastic! The tour was small group, only 7 in ours and we learned so much! I will book with Cancun Adventures again! read more

Wonderful trip with Jorge. He gets 10 stars He was constantly attentive and offered food, drinks, and expert tips to create a perfect trip around Isla Mujeres. From handling the crowds, to negotiating purchases, navigating the island, and getting the best views. It was an awesome view of the sunset leaving at 2:15 and returning at 7 PM. The catamaran was clean and everything well organized. Sails were hoisted on the return. Even with the wind and rolling sea a little bit early for Spring (to avoid crowds), it was smooth sailing. My only complaint was photography. Nothing in the water and he was very flirtatious with all the ladies in bikinis-- understandable! However, he took over 45 photos of them, and only 7 of my family. Each photo was $45- seriously, 1 photo! Most of ours were exactly the same photo. The 40 he took of single women, were cute instagram worthy. He had them pose and told them what to do to creat beautiful pictures. A bummer, considering the expense. We had plenty of our own photos though, so not a big deal. Other than that one issue, it was super!!! Again the rest of the crew were professional, thoughtful, honest, and attentive. We enjoyed it very much!!! read more

The catamaran and snorkeling trip was an amazing time! It was about an hour ride out to the snorkeling spot. They did two groups one for stronger swimmers to go out to the reef and the other group to stay closer to the boat. We did see fish and string rays! Drinks and service was great! The workers were a lot of fun! The food was decent, nothing special. read more
