About this activity


Explore Tulum, swim with turtles in Akumal, and cool off in a jungle cenote on a tour full of nature and adventure.


What to do

Tulum, Turtles & Cenotes Tour in Akumal is an experience that brings together three ways to discover the Riviera Maya in one day: Caribbean-facing history at the Tulum ruins, an encounter with sea turtles in Akumal Bay, and the refreshing waters of a cenote surrounded by jungle. It is ideal for those looking to combine culture, nature, and adventure with transportation, guide, snorkel gear, and lunch included.

The journey begins among the ruins of Tulum, where the archaeological landscape opens up to the blue Caribbean Sea. Accompanied by a guide, you will explore this iconic site while walking through one of the region’s most representative settings. Then, the experience changes pace and takes you to Akumal, a place known for its calm waters and tropical marine life.

In Akumal, one of the most special moments of the tour begins: putting on your snorkel gear and entering the sea to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. The adventure continues inland at a cenote park, where crystal-clear freshwater invites you to cool off in a jungle setting. Between history, sea, and cenote, this tour offers a full-day experience to connect with some of the Riviera Maya’s most memorable landscapes.

Book your spot and spend a full day exploring Tulum, swimming with turtles in Akumal, and cooling off in a natural cenote.
