Our family had such a great time swimming in the cenote, snorkeling with sea turtles, and then enjoying a beachside lunch today. Our tour guide was Lucas, he was very funny and got us laughing a lot, but he also explained everything very clearly and was very safety-conscious which we really appreciated. Chris was our driver and he also looked after everybody’s belongings in the van while we were participating in the activities, so we didn’t worry about our valuables. We also had another guide, Desiree and she was very sweet and offered to accompany a lady in our group back to the van if she felt claustrophobic in the cenote, but everyone was so comfortable once we got used to it that we all continued through every activity with no problem. The water was fairly cold in the cenote but Lucas encouraged us to simply step down the little ladder and then jump in and it was fine. We saw quite a few sea turtles despite the rough seas and our teenage son got a nice video of the turtles foraging in the sea grass and surfacing for air. The food was good, I had a very nice mango margarita, we tried a bit of Mayan coffee, then we lounged on the beach beds for a while before returning to the van for the drive back to all the hotels. There were bathroom breaks at every stop and we given bottles of cold water and snacks in the van. They thought of everything and we would definitely take another tour with this company again. Thanks for all the great memories!
