About this experience
Discover two of the Riviera Maya’s most spectacular natural attractions on an Akumal turtle snorkeling and cenote tour. Swim alongside sea turtles in the turquoise waters of Akumal Bay, explore two different freshwater cenotes and enjoy a local Mexican lunch during one unforgettable day surrounded by nature.
Your experience begins with convenient pickup from your accommodation in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tulum or selected locations along the Riviera Maya. Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with your private guide before heading into the jungle to discover two cenotes: one open cenote surrounded by tropical vegetation and one enclosed cenote featuring crystal-clear freshwater and ancient limestone formations.
After swimming and snorkeling in the cenotes, continue to Akumal Bay, one of the Riviera Maya’s most famous destinations for encountering sea turtles in their natural habitat. Equipped with snorkeling gear and a life jacket, follow your guide through the protected waters of the bay while looking for turtles, tropical fish and other Caribbean marine life.
Your guide will remain with you throughout the snorkeling experience, helping you enjoy the activity while respecting the wildlife and the fragile marine environment.
After snorkeling with turtles in Akumal, enjoy a locally prepared lunch and some time near Akumal Beach before returning to your accommodation.
The tour includes round-trip transportation, a private guide, snorkeling equipment, a life jacket, visits to two cenotes and lunch. The Akumal marine park fee is not included and must be paid separately.

Guest reviews
"Our experience in Akumal was absolutely amazing. Swimming with sea turtles in the crystal-clear water was unforgettable, and the cenote visit was just as magical, with stunning scenery and refreshing water. It was the perfect combination of adventure and nature—we highly recommend it!"
"This tour exceeded all our expectations. Seeing the sea turtles up close in Akumal was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the cenote was peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to cool off. The entire day was well organized, and the guides made it both fun and informative."
"We really enjoyed this tour, especially the small group size, which made the experience feel much more relaxed and personal. The sea turtles in Akumal were amazing to see, and the cenote offered a peaceful escape from the busier tourist areas. A great choice for anyone looking for a more laid-back adventure."
