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.

Incredible experience... I was hoping to swim with mobula rays, which didn't happen, but I had other amazing experiences like seeing sperm whales and swimming with sharks, which I wasn't expecting! I dared to go in with my son because Mateo, our guide, made us feel very safe... We'll definitely have to come back next year to look for them! Excellent experience 😍🤩
