Turtle Trip of my dreams!

Our guide Ruben made this adventure so much fun! He was knowledgeable with a quick sense of humor- and plenty of patience too! I was never able to snorkel but he explained so well that I did it! And enjoyed the experience very much. Tony was our photographer- lots of fun and such great photos! We would recommend that you take this trip!

The best excursion of our stay

This excursion was really amazing! Kevin, our guide, was super cool, funny and super interesting. He explained everything in a simple and nice way, so we were never bored. Frankly, he handled the day too well. Laura, the photographer, is just awesome! The photos are too beautiful, she managed to capture natural moments without posing all the time, and it makes the memories even more incredible. Swimming with turtles was just magical 🐢 you don’t realize how impressive it is until you live it. They were too beautiful and it was a super soothing moment. And the cenote... wow. The water was super cold at first but you get used to it. Swimming in the dark with guppies, catfish and even little bats, it was a bit creepy but above all too stylish and unique. You don't have to go through that every day! Frankly, thank you Kevin and Laura for this crazy day, it was an experience we will never forget!!

THANK YOU Kevin and Laura

Honestly I don’t know if I would have enough room to describe this experience. We were taken care of by our guide Kevin and our driver. Kevin immediately made sure to learn our first names and ask us questions to get to know each other better and be able to talk with us. Along the way to Tulum Kevin was able to give us a general and informative briefing about our day together and the rules to be followed. To Akumal where we were able to see many marine creatures but especially turtles thanks to Kevin who best accompany us to see them what I particularly liked is that our guide is aware of the fauna and flora that surrounds us and does his best to protect it while creating wonderful memories. Moreover we can not miss the cenote again accompanied by our guide Kevin who was able to explain to us it is thousand years of underwater life. We can not miss Laura our photographer who followed us all day with whom thanks to her we leave with superb photos a advice take advantage of Laura’s experience and her material for this magnificent memory. In a MAGIC word an experience I will remember all my life. Another BIG THANKS to Kevin and Laura for this day.
