★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,888 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $169Our pick

Spend about six and a half hours visiting Tulum, swimming through El Sueño cenote, snorkeling at Yal Ku Lagoon, and eating lunch by the beach. Small groups, bilingual guides, gear, snacks, and hotel transport are included. Bring a towel, refillable bottle, and extra food for the late lunch.

“My wife and I are traveling to Mexico for the first time and took this tour today. I am not a very strong swimmer and our guide Miguel was so helpful throughout and made me feel safe at all times when we were in the water. We forgot towels, but Miguel was prepared with extras. He gave us snacks after the first stop. The activities are fun and very well planned. The hotel pick up was prompt and we had a great day. Highly recommend!! Note: please carry refillable water bottles to Tulum ruins since they have banned single use plastic and made us trash our water bottles.”

While we drove between sites, Felix made sure to give us details about what we were going to be doing and things to avoid. This collection of activities was a perfect day for our family of 3!”
