From Riviera Maya Visit a Cenote and Swim with Turtles in Akumal

The cenote choice is excellent. Our guide was great, knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw five turtles, including a huge one as well as lots of fish, beautiful corrals, stingrays and cuttlefish.

Gonzalo was amazing and very accommodating as well as Felix our driver. We had an amazing experience!

We took the trip and it was ok. At the meeting place we were put into a big lineup where we had to pay for an environment pass or such thing, that was ok but it took forever. Then we went to a meeting place where we met with a guide who said he was ready to go in 2 minutes, we’ll 30 minutes later we are ready and get onto a bus then taken off and put onto another bus. We headed out and 5 minutes later we were at the cenote. We could have walked there faster than all the waiting. All together it was a disorganized trip. At the snorkeling with the turtles we were told that we had to wear a life vest and it was law. I said that when snorkeling I like to dive down in the water to look around, that’s what snorkeling is about. They wouldn’t have any of that so I complied and wore the vest. We go in the water and the guide has his vest but doesn’t wear it the whole time, just puts it under his chest and swims, that’s not going to do him any good!! I won’t take another trip with your company again.

For the most part it was a good trip! Though we had to pay 10 US dollars per person at the entrance and we didnt bring any cash with us. Thought they allowed us to pay when they dropped us off at our hotel We saw a one sting ray and one turtle.... way happy with that cause you cant predict wild life but o would have likes longer to snorkle!

First off, this is billed as an English tour. It is not. I think the only English words the tour guide knew were, "hurry up" and "follow me". The tour picks you up at 7:00. There is a transfer and a drop of at a location where dozens of other tours check in so there is a long line. The cenote is 40 minutes from playa, but you do not see it until after 9:00. It is beautiful, and we were able to see turtles in Akumal. However, everything else was a complete mess.

Of all the tours we took on this trip, this was the greatest value. Our guide, Oscar was fantastic. He stressed care and respect of the environment including the cenotes and the turtles' own mileau. This was more than a tour; it was a spiritual learning experience. Highly recommend taking this tour with Oscar!

primero fuimos a un cenote muy bonito y estabamos solos, eso fue genial!!! luego nos dieron fruta para desayunar y fuimos a Akumal a bañarnos con las tortugas en su habitat. fue corto pero intenso.
