The famous Tulum and Beyond tour
is quite different from other Tulum tours. Not so much a tour,
this is more like being shown around by friends who live here.
Though it's a day full of wonderful experiences, we don't rush
anyone - it's all about being able to enjoy the wonders of
the Mayan Riviera.
Our Tulum and Beyond excursion is a one of
a kind day filled with adventure, and described by many as
the highlight of their vacation. This tour gives guests a perfect
mix of stops guaranteed to give you some of the best the Mayan
Riviera has to offer: you'll explore the ruins of Tulum, swim/snorkel
in two different cenotes, and enjoy a picnic lunch and relaxation
time on a lovely, secluded beach.
 TOUR
ITINERARY
With our goal of beating the crowds to Tulum, we arrive early which
sets the tone for a relaxing, hassle free day.
There's simply no other place on the Mayan Riviera coast like the
ruins of Tulum. The ruins of Tulum have one of the most dramatic
settings - perched atop a cliff by the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
Although we have visited countless times, the stunning
view continues to astound us. Our group will be joined
by a local, certified guide. Our goal is to provide our guests
with interesting information, spectacular views and an appreciation
for the intriguing mystery that was the ancient Mayan civilization.
 COOLING
OFF
After the visit to Tulum, you will love the next stop - Gran
Cenote. The Yucatan is unique for its cenotes, which basically
are waterfilled sinkholes, or entrances to sub-terrainian river
systems. This particular cenote is highly decorated with stalactites
and stalagmites, both above and beneath the surface. The water
is cool and clear as air. Snorkeling in this natural
wonder will give you an unforgettable memory that can only
be experienced first hand. We snorkel or swim for as long
as the group enjoys it.
 THE
BEACH
This particular stretch of beach is absolutely stunning.
The beach of Tulum is voted by CondeNast as one of the top 10 beaches
in the world. We access the beach close to the entrance of the
Sian Ka'an nature reserve, where there's hardly any people, just
a looooong white paradise beach. We set up lunch here, eat, swim
in the ocean, throw a frisbee, have a couple of beers, lay in a
hammock, chill or go for a stroll. No rush.
ONE LAST STOP
Heading back to Playa we need to clear our heads and perk up after
an eventful day. We stop at a great little cenote in
a lush jungle setting where we'll see tons of tropical freshwater
fish, great examples of fossils, and have the opportunity to
jump off a cliff into to the water. Float, swim, jump, snorkel
or chill - your choice. At this time in the afternoon, chances
are good to see some colorful tropical birds in the vegetation
surrounding the cenote. A perfect ending to a beautiful day. |
