The guides for this trip were amazing. The caves cenote we went to was spectacular and the lunch was delicious. We had a very windy day so we weren’t able to go on the boat to snorkel, but we were able to go into a very nice lagoon and do some snorkeling.
The reasons I gave this a four is first the van was super crowded which I guess that’s what you get when you do a shared shuttle service for one of these tours. They did have free water and snacks though. There is beautiful scenery at Tulum, but it’s not my favorite archaeological site to visit. It felt underwhelming. We did not learn too much about it while there and its aways from Cancun- 2 hours?. It is a beautiful photo spot and that might be all some people want. So far my favorite Mayan places to visit are Chichen Itza and Ek Baram.
If you go, I would bring a long sleeve swim shirt if you’re sensitive to the sun and a towel. Sunscreen is not allowed in the water as it can ruin the ecosystem.
