Two of the Riviera Maya's most remarkable natural worlds in a single day: the Caribbean Sea and the hidden cenotes of the jungle. Your adventure begins in Akumal Bay, whose name in the Maya language means "place of the turtles". Unlike most tours that start from the shore, we take a short speedboat ride to the nearby reef to snorkel among colorful tropical fish and coral, before slowly making our way back to the bay, where wild green sea turtles feed on the sea grass in their protected habitat. All equipment and an experienced local guide are included, so first-timers can enjoy it with confidence. Next, we travel inland to a private jungle property to swim in three hidden cenotes, each with its own atmosphere: an open cenote under the tropical sky, a semi-open cenote where sunlight filters through the vegetation, and a fully covered cavern cenote with dramatic rock formations. All three are just a short walk apart, far from the crowds. The day ends at Lara & Luca, a welcoming international restaurant in Playa del Carmen, with a freshly prepared lunch and your choice of drink; vegetarian options are always available. Everything is included for a worry-free day: Round-trip transportation from Lara & Luca, Playa del Carmen, in an air-conditioned vehicle Speedboat ride to the reef and guided snorkeling in Akumal Bay Snorkel equipment, life jacket and goggles Access to three cenotes Professional local guide Lunch with a drink (lunch option) All entrance fees and taxes Choose the option that suits you best: join a small group or book a private tour for your group only, both available with or without lunch at Lara & Luca. Important: if the Port Authority closes the sea and snorkeling in Akumal is not possible, you can choose between visiting five hidden cenotes instead of three, or rescheduling your experience for another day.
