Traveler reviews
One of the best tours I have taken
This tour was absolutely fantastic. I love seeing the sea lion turtles. It is unusual to be able to see these gorgeous creatures. I hadnever been in a cenotes but really enjoyed that as well. Vanessa and Pepe were outstanding.
Awesome experience with Oceantours
Awesome experience. Oceantours was great. Mac, the tour guide was fantastic. Very informative, great at explaining the history, Safety first and also relaxed and funny.
Great tour with a knowledgeable guide.
We were on a tour with the German guide Nils. The tour was super beautiful, interesting, and informative. What stood out positively is that Nils is very mindful of nature and the protection of wildlife and underwater life. He is very reliable, friendly, and competent. There are clear instructions and (behavioral) rules in place, and he places great importance on ensuring that these are followed to protect nature. We saw 3 sea turtles in Akumal. The cenote was also fascinatingly beautiful. The pickup was punctual, and the round trip was conducted in an air-conditioned vehicle. We would book a tour with Nils again at any time. Thank you very much for the great tour.
Worth it and a "must do."
Guide Nils (German). He pays close attention to ensure that the group behaves according to the rules and a bit more. He conveys the importance of nature conservation and has a lot of great information. Clear direct announcements and he ensures that everyone has their own experience. Thank you, Nils.
Excellent
Our guide Louis and the photographer were just perfect; it was a unique moment for us.
