Amazing once in a lifetime tour experience! - We had an amazing time on our tour! If you enjoy seeing Mexico’s beauty without the tourist crowds, this is the tour for you! The eco adventures in the Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve are not to be missed and Coba was awesome. Swimming in the underground cenote was a once in a lifetime experience, in addition to seeing a lot of monkeys, canoeing and zip lining! This is a great family activity. Alex is an extremely knowledgeable and kind tour guide - we learned so much from him - and Enrique was a courteous driver! I would recommend this tour company to anyone looking for adventures!

Great tour for our family of 12–8 adults, 2 4 year olds and 2 babies. - Arturo our guide made sure everyone had a good time. Adults rode bikes at Coba except we had three rickshaws for the kids and adults with them. Beautiful ride on the trails through the jungle. Lots of shade. He provided good information and tailored it so the older kids learned a lot. Then we had lunch at Juanita’s and went to a beautiful open cenote. Great day. Not cheap but worth it.

Like getting shown around by a local buddy - Our group of 5 adults and 4 children did the Coba and Cenote tour with Juan of Absolute Adventure. It was easily the highlight of an amazing trip.
They were very prompt, professional, and personable.
Juan checked with us along each step if we needed bathrooms, if we wanted to stay longer at one place, etc. We learned tons while having fun. It truly felt like having a local buddy take you around to the sites. The lunch was also a huge hit with our group, only wish we had bought more hot sauce!
Highly recommend Absolute Adventure if you're staying in the Cancun/PDC area.

Coba tour couldn't be better! - Awesome tour of the Coba ruins. Josh was awesome, personable, knowledgeable and great fun. We learned so much and enjoyed the tour immensely. The cenote swims were out of this world. Lunch too! We took home awesome photos that will make the experience so memorable.

Private Tour is an amazing experience! - My sister and I took a private tour this past month with Alex and Enrique. The tour was early and it was fantastic; we had great photos from Coba, where we were nearly the only ones there. We had the cenotes completely to ourselves and the excellent lunch afterwords as well. They were so informative about the mythology, culture and surrounding wherever we were. My husband and I had a small group tour to nearly the same destinations in 2012 but the private tour blew me away with how much more I got out of this trip. Definitely go!

Great private tour and Juan was outstanding - Great tour and our guide Juan was awesome. Our driver Omarr was tremendous as well. Juan was knowledgeable and very personable. A joy to spend the day with. In our time together we learned not just of Coba and the history of the place and people, but also of the current region and culture. Highly recommended!

Wonderful trip! - We had an awesome time in Coba. Arturo is a great and knowledgeable tour guide and Jorge got us there safe and sound. Van was very nice and comfortable. Coba ruins are so interesting. The bike ride through the jungle is fun and a great way to see the site. I do recommend going as early as you can. We got there early but as we were leaving the big tour busses pulled in and the place was overrun. Arturo made the site come alive with his explanations. Next we visited two cenotes. One for pictures and the other for a relaxing swim. The cool water was so refreshing and clear. Lastly was a yummy Mayan lunch. I highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico. (If you google them, you’ll find more tours on their website. )

Amazing customized experience. - We had a great time on our tour. Arturo was a wonderful tour guide. We enjoyed biking in the jungle to see the Coba Ruins. Then we experienced a very authentic lunch in the Los Ojas cenotes park followed by a snorkel in the cenote. Arturo led us on a snorkel tour into the cenote and then let us swim and explore on our own in the lush cenote pool. Highly recommend this tour. It was recommended to us and we loved it. We felt extremely safe on this tour. We were transferring to Cozumel from Cancun that day so all our luggage was in the private van and well guarded by the driver when we went on the excursions.

Wonderful coba tour - well done! - FABULOUS coba tour and cenote swim with Joshua and Arturo. Joshua is a wonderful storyteller, making Mayan history interesting and fun. Both guides were extremely nice and helpful throughout the tour.
Happy to see the countryside a bit and small towns as we drove, and Mayan jungle up close on our bike rides at coba, too. We were a big group of 29, here in riviera maya for my son’s wedding - everyone enjoyed this tour! The cenote was amazing too, and so refreshing, swimming in the cool waters in a cave on a hot sunny day. Highly recommend!
Note: a fair amount of walking at coba and a lot of slippery stairs for the cenote. Not the easiest tour for those with mobility challenges.
