Tulum & Akumal: Among Mayan Ruins and Underground Rivers
Cancun
Description
Discover the best of the Riviera Maya in a single day: history, ocean, and jungle. This tour blends the ancient magic of Tulum, swimming with sea turtles in Akumal, and the refreshing crystal-clear waters of underground cenotes—three of Mexico’s natural and cultural gems.
Begin your journey at the Tulum archaeological site, the only surviving Mayan settlement by the Caribbean Sea. Perched on a cliff, its temples create one of the most breathtaking backdrops in the world. Continue to Akumal Bay for an unforgettable snorkeling experience alongside sea turtles and vibrant coral reefs.
The adventure ends at a stunning cenote, where crystal waters and dramatic limestone formations surround you at every step. A perfect day for travelers seeking a balanced experience of culture, nature, and adventure.

Super great experience, very friendly staff that were there to help me book every step of the way. Also excellent diving experience once we got on the water.

I took the snorkeling tour in Cabo Pulmo. The guides were very attentive, explaining everything and providing all the necessary equipment. The park is also beautiful. Gluup also provided excellent communication and ensured everything went smoothly.
