What to expect

Embark on a private tour of Tulum, the only Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and Akumal Bay, a sanctuary for turtles. This half-day adventure allows you to dive into the heart of Mayan culture and swim alongside turtles in their natural habitat.

Your first stop is Tulum, where a certified archaeological guide will lead you through the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins set against the backdrop of the azure Caribbean Sea. A sight that promises to leave you spellbound by its unparalleled blend of history and natural beauty.

Next on the trip is Akumal, aptly named 'place of the turtles' in Mayan. This bay is renowned as a sanctuary for three species of turtles: loggerhead, green and hawksbill. Here, you'll have the opportunity to swim with these majestic creatures, using professional snorkel equipment provided as part of your tour package.

    Private tour of Tulum was great, we got there as it opened and avoided all the crowds. Swimming with turtles was private and amazing! We saw lots of turtles and our guide was great with communication and helping us spot the turtles and keep them safe.

    Privetour was goed georganiseerd. Gids heel vriendelijk, had ook veel kennis van Tulum en spullen mee zodat je goed kunt begrijpen hoe de Maya priesters te werk gingen. Het zwemmen met schildpadden is heel erg toeristisch, we zagen 3 schildpadden met tig andere toeristen. Dat was wel minder magisch als verwacht. Maar de gids was echt super!
