Travel from Cancun to Akumal for a guided sea turtle swim, then cool off in a Riviera Maya cenote. Biologist or naturalist guides such as Rodolfo and Oscar lead the outing. Expect transport, gear, snacks, and about five hours away, with a $20 marina and environmental fee extra.

“Expérience malheureusement décevante. Nous avions choisi cette activité pour vivre un moment privilégié avec les tortues, mais la réalité est toute autre. Beaucoup trop de groupes en même temps, une organisation à la chaîne et énormément de monde dans l’eau. Cela enlève complètement le côté naturel et exclusif que l’on peut attendre de ce type d’excursion. L’eau était assez trouble le jour de notre venue et nous n’avons vu qu’une ou deux tortues, brièvement. Le moment est donc resté très limité. Surtout, on sent que les tortues sont stressées et effrayées par l’affluence permanente. Cela pose clairement la question du respect de l’animal et de la pertinence de maintenir ce…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes (approx.)

You meet Top Cancun Shuttles at Cancun International Airport, in the Tourist Operator and Bus area, then ride privately to Akumal in an air-conditioned vehicle. The transfer takes about 1 hour 20 minutes and costs $115 per group of up to seven. Request a baby chair when booking.

“It was extremely chaotic and difficult to find anyone holding a sign with our name. When we did, it was another 20 minutes before the driver arrived to pick us up. The driver did not speak a word to us for the entire trip. The whole point of private transportation is to avoid the chaos of taking the bus, but this was almost as stressful and did not get us there much faster. Not worth the money spent.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 16 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $149

Travel in a small group to Akumal for a guided sea turtle swim, then cool off in a limestone cenote along La Ruta de los Cenotes. Your day includes hotel pickup, equipment, entry fees, snacks, and bilingual guidance. Expect an early start, life jackets, and a moderate level of swimming.

“I would say to avoid Viator and book things through your hotel when you get here. This was a neat experience but you don’t need Viator’s extra cost. It’s not 5 hours. It’s at least 8. We loved the experience; I just regret all the bookings I did through Viator. I thought it would give me peace of mind but that wasn’t the case. They are not connected to the local people. They couldn’t actually help us with questions about pick up etc because they couldn’t get a hold of the driver.”

12.Cancun Snorkeling Tour: Swim with Turtles, Reef, Underwater Museum and Shipwreck

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 14 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $69Best value

Spend about four hours visiting four Cancun snorkeling sites, including MUSA’s Blessings and Aquarium Family statues, El Meco reef, turtle beds, and a coral-covered shipwreck. Small boats, full gear, hotel pickup options, showers, lockers, and guides such as Daisy, Chuy, and Emilio are part of the experience.

“My partner and I enjoyed this snorkel tour! Chuy, Captain Lalo and Angel were a great crew - very informative and we felt safe throughout the whole trip. Angel took really nice pictures and videos we just had to buy the video package. Our tour started promptly after getting our small group of 9 people together and testing our equipment before leaving the dock. We then visited all 4 spots listed and it all took about 2ish hours. Throughout the tour Chuy checked that we were all together before moving on to the next spot. We spent a little more time in the turtle and reef section than any others.…”

Arrange a private airport ride for up to eight people in a Toyota Hiace or similar vehicle. A bilingual airport representative meets you, provides water and Wi-Fi, and drives your party to your hotel or condo. Confirm the destination, since the details mention both Akumal and Puerto Morelos.

“DO NOT BOOK with this company!!! They never showed up to pick us up and were completely unreachable. It was the most stressful way to start our vacation, as you cannot hire another company once at the airport - they all require at least 24 hours notice. We ended up paying a fortune for a taxi and still never received a response from the company. Fortunately Viator is a reputable company and issued us the refund.”
