      Your Day, Your Way: Tulum, Cenotes & More

      Discover the magic of Tulum’s seaside ruins and the refreshing cenotes of the Yucatán. With three customizable options, you choose the pace, the adventure, and the flavor of your day. Step back in time as you explore the ancient walled city of Tulum, perched dramatically above the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Then cool off with a swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of a cenote, one of the Yucatán’s natural wonders. For those who choose the Akumal option, the day also offers the unforgettable chance to snorkel alongside wild sea turtles in their natural habitat — a highlight for ocean lovers.

      Tulum: The Last Great Maya Seaport

      Perched atop a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, the walled city of Tulum once served as a thriving trade hub for the Maya. Your guide will bring the ruins to life with stories of trade, ritual, and daily life in this dramatic seaside setting — one of the last inhabited and protected Maya cities before Spanish contact.

      Cenotes of the Yucatán: Natural Wonders

      These limestone sinkholes, once sacred to the Maya, are a refreshing break from the heat and a highlight of the day. Whether you swim in one (Tulum Lite), explore two contrasting ones (Tulum Plus), or pair a cenote with sea turtles (Tulum & Akumal), each one offers something unique — from open sunlit pools to otherworldly caverns.

      Akumal Bay: Swim With Sea Turtles

      Available on the Tulum & Akumal itinerary, this stop includes snorkeling in the calm, protected waters of Akumal Bay — home to wild sea turtles year-round. “Akumal” means “Place of the Turtles,” and you’ll see why. With a local marine guide, you’ll observe these gentle creatures grazing in their natural habitat — up close, but always responsibly.
