This was one of our favorite tours! Even though the waters were murky and it was late in the day to see many turtles, our guide was great and we managed to see two turtles and a stingray. Our main guide for the entire trip was Susana who was absolutely amazing! She guided us through the Tulum ruins with awesome facts and kept us very interested despite the heat. The cenotes were beautiful and I loved be able to take our time in the two we were able to see at our own pace. I would highly recommend this tour and this company!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Mayan ruins at Tulum, getting to swim in 2 beautiful cenotes, and our swim with sea turtles. Our driver and our tour guide, Angel Kauil, were wonderful! Our tour guide was friendly, hospitable, and very knowledgeable. He and our driver took great care of us all day and our family had a wonderful experience!

Amazing tour, Susanna our tour guide was lovely and helpful from start to finish. The ruins were great and the cenotes beautiful!
You can not miss this trip, it was so amazing! Everything was excellent: Snorkling with seaturtles, seeing the culture of the Maya people in Tulum, swimming in the caves of cenote, Paco the guide, the snorkeling instructor. Super professional!
Good tour guides and vibe. Very flexible with time and schedule. Recommend people who don’t have packed schedule to choose it. Like the buffet and town touring!
We had a great time visiting Tulum Ruins and came to know the History from our Tour guide Moo and Estrella. They both are well experienced and knowledgeable. Easy to communicate with and they are both happy to answer any doubts or clarifications. Well organized. Thank you
We had the best tour with Mo, Estrella, and Jose. They were truly knowledgeable about the locations and made everything so fun. We would definitely recommend this tour and come again.
All of our guides were exceptional! Jose , the driver was great and polite! Estrella and Mo were amazing, funny and kept good vibes all day!
fantastic day with our guide Estrella and driver Louis. Spectacular sites, great food and fun swimming in the Cenotes and with the turtles…can’t think of a better way to end our vacation at the Riviey Maya
Great trip! Tour guides were great. Centote was cool. There was plenty enough time at each location, which is not always the case. Tour guides Estrella and Kauil were knowledgeable and brought a little woo (which is my style). Driver Max was sexy. Grab some drinks at Playa del Carmen. It's awesome after a long day, and like I said, there's actually tone up do it.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The itinerary was perfectly planned, starting with the stunning ruins of Tulum, where the coastal views and rich history set the tone for the day. We then headed to the beautiful Canamayte (Mayan) caves, where we had the incredible opportunity to swim inside them. A truly unique and unforgettable experience. The day was topped off with the magical chance to swim with turtles, which was an absolute highlight. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Estrella. His knowledge of the history, culture, and significance of each location was exceptional, and he brought everything to life in such an engaging and informative way. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout. Our driver, Ruail, was also excellent, reliable, professional, and ensured we travelled safely and comfortably for the entire journey. Overall, a seamless, well-organised, and memorable experience from start to finish. Thank you for such an amazing day. we’ll definitely be recommending this tour to others!
Estrella and Raul were amazing today on our tour! We learnt such incredible information about tulum and the Mayan people. We had delicious food in a remote jungle location cooked by the local village (best tacos ever), swam in a beautiful cenote and then swam with LOADS of turtles on a beautiful beach. 10/10 I recommend going with Estre

Kauil, estrella, moo were great tour guides 10/10 experience will book again.
This excursion was absolutely perfect in every way 🤩👍🏻 We had the most amazing guide, Luis Estrella, who took such wonderful care of us throughout the entire day. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and well looked after. I truly felt in the best hands at all times. He shared so many interesting insights and showed us beautiful places – it made the whole experience even more special. The timing was perfectly organized – we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each activity. The group size was just right, which made everything feel relaxed and personal. My absolute highlight were the giant turtles 🐢😃 – such an unforgettable experience! Also, a big compliment to our driver Jose, who did a fantastic job. He drove very safely and smoothly, even on bumpy roads, and the bus temperature was perfectly comfortable (not freezing like on many tours!). This has been my favorite excursion so far and without a doubt the best guide I’ve had here. Highly, highly recommended! 🤩👍🏻
Me and my partner had a fantastic day out with Jose and Estrella! The whole trip was very well organised and on time. The food provided was delicious and we got a free bottle of water. Estrella was very knowledgeable about Mayan history and was great at answering any queries we had.
First stop Maya Ruins , very impressive. Not much shadow Second stop cenote and lunch super nice and good. Third stop swimming with turtles . For everybody . Super Organisation ! Very good driver Jose. And the tour guide Luis Estrella was amazing.
Overall it was a very fun experience with the driver Jose and Tour guide Estrella . They did very excellent job at explaining everything and giving interesting information about the Mayan culture. It was very relaxing to see the turtles and eat native foods.
Me and my girlfriend had a great experience with José and Estrella. The whole day was very well organised and the 3 stops we made were for a perfect amount of time each. The food was delicious.
My friends and I took a full-day excursion to Tulum, which included lunch, swimming in cenotes, and snorkeling with sea turtles. The entire experience was amazing! Our driver Jose was great, and our guide Luis Estrella was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. We had wonderful time, and it was well worth the $130 USD each. I highly recommend you check this out!
By far this was the best tour. Our guide was LUIS ESTRELLA. He was very knowledgeable and amazing. I loved that he was not pushing or hurrying us up. I did other tours this week and out of 6 tours this was the best.
Great day with Luis Estreya and Jose. Very informative, entertaining. Food was great …swimming with the turtles was a highlight ..saw many turtles and a baby stingray
The best tour! Jose was a great driver and luis estrella was an excellent and informative guide!! Do this tour you won’t regret it!!
Good multi activity adventure visiting Tulum archeological site, cenotes and Turtles. Mildred was a great guide, very friendly , informative and gave clear instructions. It’s a busy day, would have liked a bit more time at the archeological site to admire the beauty of it all. Lunch buffet was particularly good, and enjoyed the cenotes , one shallow open one and one in a cave. Turtle stop is a bit of a sausage factory, lots of swimmers bumping into each other and visibility nowhere near previous photos. However, it was very exciting to see Turtles and sting rays and enjoyed it all despite the crush.
We had a very interactive day togheter, our guide was Mildred. Very positive, English speaker and also aware of history of Mayas! We have visited a city of Mayas, and then a community and the Cenotes, Swimming with turtles was also an great adventure. I truly recommend this tour if you are planning as a couple, or rather family with kids. It will worst the money and they day will be intense. Regards from Portugal, Simão & Filipa 🇵🇹🤝🇲🇽
Angel Huerta was the best tour guide. He was funny, kind, and helpful. Any questions we had , he knew the answer and was happy to help. Best trip ever!
There is a lot to see and do and even with a whole day 8am pick up to 8pm drop off. There is a rushed sense to the experience. Tuttle “swimming” will be watching them eat, which is neat for the first 10-15 minutes but you’re in the water for 45 minutes. The guides in the water are great and make sure you’ll see turtles and other marine life. If you haven’t been Tulum before and want to learn about its history I’d recommend a full day at the site. Our guide, Angel Huerta provided some history and took us to the main sites. Then we had an hour of free time before having to leave. The lunch provided was good but you’ll pay for all drinks. After a long day, and a 2 hour ride back to the resort I forgot to leave a tip when I got off the bus. Luckily Angel Huerta followed us off the bus to remind me. Apologies Angel I didn't mean to make you feel like you weren’t getting tipped. Thanks again for all the information
The tours were wonderful and the guide was excellent. We saw Tulum, two Cenotes and 5 sea turtles! We also had a nice lunch.
It was a great experience. Would definitely recommend and take again. I love how even on the car ride Carlos Moo our tour guide was talking to us. He knew multiple languages, English, spanish, and even Mayan. He helped us really understand what the culture was about. We went to tulum, sink holes to swim, and even stopped by playa de Carmen. He gave us a great tour. Thank you Arturo(our personal driver) and Carlos Moo( our tour guide!
This was probably the best excision/experience I’ve had in any of the places I’ve traveled to yet. This knocked of so many things on the bucket list and took me almost no effort. Tulum ecological tour, cenote swimming and swimming with turtles within 10 hours with no stress or worry. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT STOP THINKING AND BOOK NOW!!!! You really won’t regret it. P.S. they have one of the best excursion lunches I’ve ever had not just snack and what not but a full buffet with amazing local food!
Excellent tour to Tulum, cenote and animal to swim and see the turtles. Tour guide very knowledgeable and nice. Ride was comfortable.
The tour guides (Blanca, Susana. Milly and our bus driver Jose were amazing with great attitude and professionalism. Susana took time to show us around and explain the history. The ladies were fun to be with. Our driver Jose was great, greeted us with a smile and cold water. Geat tour and recommending to others. Use them for your next tour and you wont regret it.
My friends and I had an unforgettable excursion with Raul. V , who is truly the BEST GUIDE EVER! He works for Ekinox Tours, a highly professional and well-equipped company that provides top-tier experiences for all their tours. From start to finish, Raul took care of every detail, making sure we were comfortable and fully engaged. He is incredibly easy to talk to, with an outstanding work ethic and a perfect balance of joyfulness and professionalism. Throughout the tour, he was meticulous and dedicated, ensuring we felt cared for and appreciated. We were especially eager to learn more about Mayan culture, and Raul was an incredible resource, sharing his knowledge in an engaging and informative way. Thanks to him, our experience was both exciting and relaxing—the perfect combination! I will definitely return to Catalonia Resort and book more tours with Ekinox Tours—but most importantly, I will make sure Raul is our guide again. He truly made our trip unforgettable! Highly recommended!
I really liked seeing the turtles, and swimming in the underground cenotes. The tour guide was great! Our tour guide’s name was Kaulil.
The tour was very good, the views were spectacular, and being able to see the marine life is fascinating. The guide Fernando was very kind and told us many interesting things about Mayan history; also, Lorenzo took us to the different points at all times and made us feel safe.
Very beautiful places, unfortunately penalized by sargassum (it is also difficult to see the turtles well). Attentive service, guide -Ramon - knowledgeable. One point less for the high price, unfortunately a common denominator of this area of Mexico.
Fantastic experience! Our guide Christian did a great job. He is very cheerful and has a lot of knowledge of history.
Excellent experience with Christian as a guide. Highly recommended.
The guide Cris is amazing, very loving and concerned that we have the best experience possible.
Wonderful day! Raul explains the history of his country and the Maya people with passion and simplicity. He knows how to make an excursion a special moment to experience. His friendliness and energy were greatly appreciated! Seeing the giant turtles swimming nearby is indescribable! It has remained in our hearts!
Great guides Mauricio, star , moo Perfect timetables. Fantastic organization Concern and care for everyone. Excellent guides and great company.
