He took us to three amazing cenotes, all with different energies, and guided us through snorkeling, jumping, and some of the wildlife. It was an incredible experience, and I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Tulum. We got to see animals and also just have a lot of fun swimming and taking in the beautiful sights.”

Review of a small-group Tulum tour to Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and Cenote Xux-Ha, with lunch, transport, guides, and practical tips.

“This was such a great day! I'm very happy we chose this tour. Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and cool, and the group was small and fun! The cenote they took us to is not as touristic as others we've been to and it was the most beautiful! I like that they care about sustainability and had water to fill our reusable cups, and the snacks where healthy and homemade. The restaurant where we had lunch was beautiful and good! My only comment is the van wasn't very comfortable for us in the lasts seats, but overall a wonderful experience!”
