Itinerary and highlights
We will start this adventure by picking you up at your hotel lobby. Our bus and staff will be ready to greet you with the best attitude and ready to show you a great time. Remember that this is a shared experience, so we will pick up all our guests before heading to our first stop.
Come along with us on an unforgettable journey to Akumal Bay, nestled along the breathtaking Caribbean coast of Mexico. Here, you'll receive snorkeling gear to explore the mesmerizing Mesoamerican reef and encounter majestic sea turtles in their natural habitat. Akumal, meaning "Land of Turtles" in Mayan, boasts crystal-clear waters and a vibrant coral reef teeming with marine life.
As you stroll along the soft sandy shores of Akumal's 5-kilometer beach, framed by swaying palm trees, you'll be captivated by the tranquil beauty of this tropical paradise.
While basking in the sun-drenched shores of Akumal, it's important to protect your skin with anti-UV sunscreen or a T-shirt for added sun protection. To preserve the delicate ecosystem, we encourage the use of biodegradable sunscreen and repellent during your visit.
For logistical reasons, we may visit Akumal first and then the cenote or vice versa.
Afterward, venture to an exclusive cenote, a sacred site for the ancient Maya civilization. Here, you'll swim and explore one of the incredible underground caves of the Yucatán Peninsula. Delve into the millennia-old formations of stalactites and stalagmites, which dance in harmony with the rays of light filtering through the small openings of these limestone caves. It's a natural masterpiece not to be missed—a mesmerizing encounter with the wonders of nature.
At the end of the activity, we will head back to your hotel. This will be an adventure that you will enjoy from beginning to end.
