(in Mayan language: Akumal, ‘Turtle place’)? Historically it is the first tourist destination of the coastal strip of the Yucatan Peninsula bathed by the Caribbean Sea. It was originally a huge coconut plantation owned by Don Argimiro Argüelles until 1958 when it was discovered by CEDAM (Exploration and Water Sports Club of Mexico), an exclusive diving club. Akumal hosted this group whose interest was the search for underwater treasures.

This was a great trip for me and my teenage sons, 15&16. The cenotes were super cool and our guide Luis was very knowledgeable about the history and formation of them. The sea turtles were super cool!! Loved the snorkeling and seeing such beautiful creatures up close!

Amazing experience with the turtles amd in the Cenote. The tour guide had a lot of knowledge and explanations were clear and insightful. The purchase of photos seemed a little expensive but worth it.
Incredible day out

Had the most amazing day! We had been looking for trips to do, and I came across Jose Perez on Facebook who offered the perfect day for us. 1st we went to Akumal bay to snorkel with the turtles. Our amazing guide nori, took us round with one other group (5 in total). We saw 4/5 turtles including some baby one and string rays. The coral reef was also amazing to swim across with beautiful fish. 2nd we headed to tulum ruins. This site is beautiful and rich in history. Thanks to our amazing tour guide Salvador who gave us so much information about the site. The ruins are very hot so I would suggest going early and they can be very busy. 3rd and finally we went to casa tortuga cenotes, which were unbelievably stunning. There were 3 in total we swam through with crystal clear water. It was a private tour with just the family so we could spend as long as we wanted at each destination. We got picked up at 8:30 and got back to the hotel about 3. Would 10/10 recommend booking through Jose and privatetoursvip. Huge love to our guide Salvador and driver Russel who were amazing!
Family of 3 Fun!

Jose was so easy to book with, tolerated my numerous questions and was able to accommodate last minute changes. Our guides Joel and Manuel were so nice, we took there lunch restaraunt recommendation in tulum and it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. We did the snorkelling with the turtles and cenote snorkel trip

This trip was incredible! We had an awesome tour guide, the snorkeling at Akumal was beautiful and the Cenote was truly a unique and special experience. They provided all the gear you could need so you truly don't need to bring anything. There is a photographer on the tour as well and he was great, so bring extra cash for his photos ($40USD per couple).
