Turtles and Sac Actun

Published on Nov, 2024

We arrived at the Akumal and swam with turtles before all the crowds arrived, you get a private guide for the turtle swim as well so it feels like a very personal experience. I noticed large groups as we were leaving having to form a large circle around a turtle which I feel would take away from the experience. It was just my friend and I so we were able to get reasonably close and the guide offered to take my gopro and take all the videos for us without anyone in the back ground. It was a great experience. For the cenote swim we chose to do Sac Actun which is a cenote but with a cave attached, Alex the guide took us into the cave, they supplied wetsuits and snorkles. Another great experience, swimming though a cave with stalactites and stalagmites, sometimes with only enough room from you head to be above the water! Alex was awesome and the driver as well, they also supplied water and sodas. On the way to each destination Alex would explain the history of each place and the meanings of the names. The included lunch also had the best fish tacos we have had in Mexico!

Lots of fun!

An excellent tour. Our guides were great and extremely knowledgeable. Lots of turtles on the turtle swim but the cenote was the highlight. Lunch was also great. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Tulum Cenote Experience

Published on Jul, 2024

We’ve done several tours in MX over the years. This is the only way we will do tours on future visits. Arturo was amazing and the whole experience was spectacular. Lunch was so good and even had vegan options. What a great experience! We will be using absolute tours for future trips!

Simply incredible.

Published on Jun, 2024

Words cannot express how truly wonderful this tour was. Arturo was such a nice person and a great guide! Starting early was absolutely the best decision. We saw many turtles on our snorkel, and beat the crowds, who were just arriving when we were leaving. It was a breathtaking experience. We went the relaxing cenote - the one with all the fauna - and it was so beautiful it felt otherworldly. Absolutely stunning. We did many tours in PDC, and have travelled all over the world, and this experience will forever standout for how gorgeous it was and for amazing Arturo was. If I could give this 100 stars I would.
