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.

It was a magical and unforgettable experience. We saw the majestic whale shark; the guide even held our hands to help us stay calm and led us to where we could see it best! We felt incredibly safe with the captain and the guide, who were always very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to eat and drink. The ceviche and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend taking this tour with this company; you won't regret it!
