What to expect

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

    The whole day was excellent and our guide Mike was fantastic and very knowledgeable about all aspects. The ruins were amazing and such a beautiful location, I am so glad as I had a very special diamond ring with me and proposed to my now fiancée. A perfect day

    Each part felt a little rushed apart from Tulum but that was only because of the heat. Definitely would have preferred longer swimming with turtles and un a less busy period? My daughters meal was taken as she was still eating - hence above score- with lots of time. Not sure rhis part was needed and would have preferred longer swimming for example. Overpriced in my opinion wsp with 9 and 12 yo. But overall loved it and would recommend.

    David was an amazing knowledgeable guide giving so much info and answering all the questions. The cenote was an experience unlike anything I’ve done before. The snorkelling is at a turtle sanctuary and we saw at least 5 up close!

    David, who was the tour guide was amazing. The walk around the Mayan ruins at tulum was amazing but ensure you keep yoy self covered in the sun, David did provide umerbellas for share which was amazing. Then the canote was amazing but the greatest was the swimming with turtles. The provided lunch was at a private beach and was very lovely. Over all it was a fantastic day

    More time in Tulum to see the whole site. Only saw half and at a fast pace. Would have preferred to either be picked up earlier or finished later - an extra half an hour would be something rather than rushing

    The whole experience was fantastic. The guide was excellent and we learned so much on the Tulum guided walk. From there the cenote was amazing and then we swam with the turtles. The day could not have been better, we were able to leave our belongings on the mini bus whilst taking part in the activities so we weren’t worried about our things. The guide and driver were amazing, we were given cool water throughout the day and fruit bars to keep our energy going. Lunch was also fantastic.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Scopri l'importanza del ripristino della barriera corallina di Cancun

Esplora le meraviglie del sistema corallino mesoamericano in questo esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. In compagnia di specialisti marini, avrai l'opportunità unica di fare snorkeling, capire l'impatto che l'uomo ha sulla barriera corallina e osservare lo sbiancamento dei coralli. Assisterai anche a un discorso approfondito sulle misure attuabili per il ripristino della barriera corallina. Salpando quando le acque sono più calme, ti avventurerai verso due diverse barriere coralline, ciascuna colpita dallo sbiancamento dovuto al riscaldamento globale, all'inquinamento dell'acqua e alle microplastiche. Visita la barriera corallina conosciuta come "El Meco", che vanta i coralli più giovani, i quali la rendono un'attrazione particolarmente speciale. Le barche utilizzate per il tour sono certificate con la Bandiera Blu per il turismo sostenibile, che rende il tuo viaggio in linea con pratiche eco-consapevoli. Lungo il percorso, scoprirai anche la fauna locale e potrai concederti un delizioso pranzo a base di burrito. Il tour ti invoglierà a proteggere questi ecosistemi marini, che è l'obiettivo del progetto Pristine Seas sponsorizzato da National Geographic. Il progetto ha effettuato spedizioni al Banco Chinchorro, una parte significativa del sistema corallino mesoamericano. Questo lavoro sottolinea l'importanza di salvaguardare gli ambienti marini dall'influenza umana, proteggendo al contempo gli ultimi luoghi selvaggi dei nostri oceani. Partecipando a questo tour, apprenderai l'importanza vitale di preservare e proteggere il prezioso sistema corallino mesoamericano. Scopri di persona le meraviglie dell'oceano e acquisisci una profonda comprensione delle barriere coralline e del loro ruolo fondamentale nella biosfera.

Santuario delle scimmie di Akumal con tour in ATV e snorkeling a Cancun

La penisola messicana dello Yucatan è ricca di paesaggi selvaggi e avrete la possibilità di immergervi in questo itinerario di un'intera giornata. Potrete visitare un santuario delle scimmie, fare un giro in ATV nella giungla e fare un po' di snorkeling nella baia di Akumal. Javier, un'esperta guida locale, afferma che "questa attività è perfetta se volete lasciarvi alle spalle le grandi città e gli hotel per un po' e sperimentare il lato più verde del Messico. Cenotes, fauna selvatica, spiagge, giungla: li incontrerete tutti".Inizierete la giornata con una visita al Santuario delle scimmie di Akumal, un luogo in cui vengono curati gli animali salvati nella zona. Sarete accompagnati da una delle persone che lavorano qui e vi verranno presentati alcuni dei primati e degli uccelli di cui ci si prende cura. Poi, cambierete marcia per un giro in ATV attraverso la giungla. Potrete mettervi ai comandi di un veicolo per raggiungere un cenote nascosto nel verde. Queste doline naturali di acqua dolce sono uniche in questa parte del Messico e la guida vi parlerà del loro significato culturale prima di poter fare un bagno.Una volta terminato, vi dirigerete verso l'ultima tappa di oggi, la Baia di Akumal. Questo luogo sabbioso è conosciuto da Tulum a Cancun come uno dei migliori punti di snorkeling della zona. Ed è proprio quello che potrete fare qui. Inoltre, la baia di Akumal è nota per la sua popolazione di tartarughe autoctone, per cui è probabile che durante la vostra visita condividerete le acque con questi gentili rettili.
