Tulum Private Boat Tour & Turtle Snorkeling Experience

Tulum Private Boat Tour & Turtle Snorkelling Experience - We booked this to celebrate my birthday, we had been looking for something that wasn't a big tour group and more intimate and found the perfect experience. Salvador picked us up from our hotel at 8am and we went to the Tulum ruins, he was great on the journey there telling us lots about Mexico and Playa del Carmen itself and being able to answer various questions we threw at him. On arrival in Tulum we went to see the Mayan ruins and again Salvador was a great guide, explaining different parts of the ruins and taking complimentary photos throughout the tour, again he was great with any questions we had in regards to the tour and the ruins. Once we left the tour we headed down to the beach to go snorkelling, on our way to the snorkelling the boat headed along the cost to show us some ruins that were only visible from the sea. We then headed to the barrier reef, I'm normally not a fan of open water but this was perfect, the water was so clear and not too deep either, it also felt very safe with both Salvador and the guys from boat. We got to see so many stingrays which were a bonus as we were not expecting that and got close to all kinds of fish and especially the turtles. Salvador took some images and videos on his go pro which he has kindly shared with us. We finally went for some tacos at El Capitan and I can easily say these were the best tacos we've had and so filling. All in all this was the best Birthday I could have hoped for and I highly recommend booking with Best Maya Tours, we will be booking with them again when we're back in Mexico!

This private guided tour was an unforgettable experience, offering a perfect combination of adventure, culture, and culinary delights. Our guide, Salvador, was patient and knowledgeable, making sure we were comfortable and pointing out interesting sights along the way. We began our tour with an amazing snorkeling experience, encountering a variety of marine life, including turtles and stingrays. After our snorkeling adventure, we headed to the ruins of Tulum, where Salvador shared fascinating insights about the ancient Mayan civilization. To cap off our tour, we enjoyed a delicious taco lunch at El Capitan, where we were able to relax and reflect on the amazing experiences we had throughout the day. We highly recommend this tour!

This was a tour of Tulum with a snorkeling experience. We had a driver/tour guide pick up just our family of 4 at our hotel. Taco was extremely knowledgeable giving information about the area through the entire half day experience. His knowledge of the logistics at Tulum expedited the process of getting in greatly. He pointed out all the features with a lot of interesting information and things we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. He used my phone to take some great photos for our family. The water was too rough for ocean snorkeling so he took us to a Cenote instead where we saw fish, cave divers and a little crocodile. Lunch was a hearty Mexican meal in a local Tulum restaurant, hibiscus iced tea, guacamole, HOT salsa, Ceviche, tacos etc. It’s order from a menu so something for everyone. Overall a great half day!
