Carretera Federal Tulum Ruinas s/n, 77780 Tulum, Q.R., Mexico
Tulum Archaeological Site, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico We love to begin our day by welcoming you with mimosas using fresh squeezed orange juice from our neighborhood juice lady. From here you will be transported to one of the top-visited and most sublime archeological sites in the Rivera Maya. It is the only city of the ancient Maya located on the Caribbean Sea. With breathtaking views and walled fortresses, Tulum was the most important commercial port of the Maya who inhabited the region, especially for trade in obsidian.
You will be guided by your own private, certified tour host for approximately 1.5 hours walking tour. Your guide will share all of Tulum’s secrets and great mysteries and explain the purpose and significance of each of the different structures. You will feel the energy of the sea and the mighty power of the ancient Maya as you continue your exploration. This surely is an unforgettable way to begin your day! 90 minutes
Cenotes Casa Tortuga Tulum, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico A quick ice-cold Corona and light snacks before your adventure continues at a privately owned ranch with the most exquisite cenotes. But before entering we must participate in the most important ceremony of the day; a Tequila Tasting of true Mexican tequila!
As we head underground, you will be able to experience the 3 different cenotes that exist: A full-cave cenote, a semi-open cenote, and a fully open cenote. As we move from each one, you will learn the importance cenotes play in our ecosystem, where and how they form, their wildlife inhabitants, the flora and fauna that surrounds them, and the culture and history that hide inside them. There is no limit as to how long you can swim and explore in each location. You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to fully enjoy this experience! All snorkel equipment, life vests etc. will be provided for your convenience to float with ease through the cenotes. 130 minutes
Playa Pescadores, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico Our upgraded all-inclusive booking option to see the Tulum Ruins for the water-lovers out there (note this is *instead of* walking the Ruins).
Either before or after the Cenotes, we will head to Playa Pescadores, one of Tulum’s stunning public beaches and the only marina in Tulum. We will embark via boat to see the ancient ruins of Tulum from the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Here your guide will tell you the history of this impressive archaeological site and you will have the opportunity to see from the water-side how the Mayans operated this incredibly important commercial seaport. You will be able to take some amazing photos from this unique vantage point.
Before heading back to shore, our boat will anchor on the reef allowing you to dive right into the tranquil sea and snorkel with your guide amongst sting rays, sea turtles, and hundreds of colorful fish. 75 minutes

This was an excellent excursion. The guides were in time! Daniel and Surreal were a lot of fun. If you like tequila and mimosas, you’ll enjoy the ride.
We started with the ruins. Bring your bug spray, it was HOT and there are lots of mosquitoes. Our ruins guide,Juan, was super knowledgeable and because we’re teachers we love that.
Then off the the cenotes, you’ll get an chance to change and have a tequila tasting. We bought 3 bottles, about $50 usd each. The cenotes were on a private ranch and an incredible place to cool off. They were spectacular!
We then headed back to change, so glad we brought a change of clothes.
Then on to the Mayan lunch. This food was so delicious and they accommodated my vegetarian friend.
Overall, we had a blast and truly enjoyed our excursion.
