Akumal Bay

Akumal Bay is one of the very few places in the world where you can reliably swim alongside wild sea turtles in their natural habitat. Protected by a natural reef, the bay provides a safe environment where turtles freely feed on seagrass and reproduce, completely undisturbed in the open ocean.For your comfort, we use the facilities of the area's main diving centre, offering lockers, bathrooms, and showers. The experience is also led by an expert local guide, specially trained to interpret the marine environment and help you spot the turtles responsibly.The adventure begins with a short speedboat ride to the reef, where we start our snorkeling experience. Here, you may encounter vibrant corals, tropical fish, stingrays, starfish, and other fascinating marine life. We then continue to the turtle area, where we observe these incredible animals in their natural environment.To help preserve this delicate ecosystem, the use of sunscreen is not permitted before entering the water.

Puerto Aventuras

Discover three incredible crystal-clear cenotes hidden inside the same jungle property. Far from crowded tourist attractions, these cenotes offer a peaceful and authentic experience surrounded by lush nature, silence, and the untouched beauty of the Mayan jungle.Each cenote has its own unique atmosphere, with stunning turquoise waters partially covered by natural rock formations and protected from the strongest sun by the jungle canopy above. The result is a refreshing, relaxing, and almost surreal environment where guests can swim, float, and fully connect with nature in complete tranquility.All cenotes are located within walking distance of each other, allowing the experience to flow naturally through the jungle. Thanks to our small group format, guests can enjoy these magical places away from crowds and mass tourism.Life jackets and goggles are included; guests are welcome to use their own phones or GoPros throughout the experience to capture unforgettable memories freely.

Q: Will I get seasick on Swim with sea turtles & discover hidden cenotes like a local?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
