Magical experience with amazing food - It was a very lovely experience, our favourite part was swimming with the sea turtles and the amazing food in Punta Venado Club! The best Mexican food we’ve tried in Mexico, served by Angel. I 200% recommend this beach club with the prawns ceviche and the chicken fajitas with their lovely homemade sauces. Tulum was beautiful but very high humidity in there. The experience of swimming with turtles was incredible!!! The cenote “EL SUEÑO” was good but they rip you off with the price of the fotos they sell and they do not allow you to use your own cameras!

A great day out, with a nice variety of activities! - Our driver Nester and our guide Jesus were fantastic today. Jesus kept us informed of what we were doing next, what we needed to do, etc. and talked us through everything in a fun and entertaining way. We did the turtles first, and I'm glad we did as it seemed to get quite busy as we left. It was well organised and we saw at least 4 turtles up very close, which was great. Next was the cenote, which was a little more of a challenge than we expected, but it was fantastic and we were very impressed with our little adventure. The water was crystal clear, and a little cold but you got used to it quickly. It was great to see the bats flying overhead in the cave roof and seeing the floor illuminated under the water with our snorkels. Tulum was nice, if a bit touristy but I guess you expect that. The ruins were impressive and relatively small so you could get around quickly on the heat. The final stop was for food at the beach restaurant, and we'd certainly worked up an appetite by mid afternoon. Food was nice and the beach area would have been fantastic if not for the sargassum (seaweed) spoiling the look and the smell of the place, but it's not their fault. Overall, a great trip for families, highly recommended.

Amazing Cenote Trip and Turtles Experience - Enrique took great care of us on the tour and was very informative. He made sure that we all saw see turtles and that everyone was together all the time. The best part was the cenote. Again, Enrique was very informative and shared a lot about the culture and the importance of the cenotes to the Mayans.

Grea! - I had a fantastic experience on this tour! Exploring the Mayan ruins was incredible—though I would have loved an extra 30 minutes there to really soak it all in. Swimming in the "Sueño" cenote was a true highlight. We were lucky to have the place almost to ourselves, with no rushing—just the right amount of time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A heads-up about the cenote: you're not allowed to take your own photos, and the official photographers charge $50 per photo—so smile like your wallet depends on it! Of course, that’s not the organizers’ fault, just how the cenote operates. Snorkeling with turtles was another memorable part of the day. We managed to spot a few, and while the water had some seaweed, it didn’t take long to get used to it. The only downside was the lunch at the end. While the beachside location was beautiful, the strong smell of seaweed in the area took away from the experience a bit. A big shoutout to our guides, Damien and Manuel. They were fantastic—full of humor, stories, and great energy. They created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere that by the end of the tour, it felt like we were all one big family. Highly recommend this experience!
