Akumal/Tulum/Coba

We had the most amazing day on this excursion! Our guide, Antonio, was kind, funny, inclusive and engaging. He shared his knowledge and passion of his culture all throughout the day. We got super lucky and it was only myself/husband and one other couple who had booked for the day (who were fantastic!). We felt we had the ultimate private excursion. We snorkeled at Akumal first (saw some of the beautiful turtles), then went to Tulum. Antonio stopped often to share bits of history and information with us and stopped us at all the best photo op places. Tulum is one of those places you can feel in your heart and soul. Lots of people? Yes...but don't let that stop you from experiencing this beautiful and historic place. If you can, do a little historical research of your own on Tulum and Coba before you go. It will definitely help you appreciate your surroundings even more. Antonio then let us decide on eating lunch first or going directly to Coba. We chose lunch. Wonderful little local place with delicious authentic Mexican food. The sopa de lima (lime soup) was incredible. We also had a bit of time to shop at the local place attached next door. We found a few things to buy and love that the proceeds go directly to the local people. Coba was awe inspiring and the tricycle 'taxi' ride they thru the jungle to the ruins was the highlight of my day ~ it felt spiritual and so peaceful. It's amazing that so much of this site is still buried deep beneath the jungle ~ so little has been excavated. I would definitely recommend this particular tour for anyone heading down to the area. If not these particular places, book this tour group for one of their other excursions. Exceptional service.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a kind and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that the personalized atmosphere of the day and the pace of the itinerary met your expectations. It is wonderful to know that you felt a deep connection to the sites we visited and enjoyed the authentic flavors of our local cuisine. Supporting the community and providing exceptional service are our top priorities, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We would be honored to host you again on any of our other excursions in the future!

Super organized excursion with good professionals

Hire the Tulum-Coba-Snorkel Turtles-Akumalpara excursion me, my husband and two children from Spain, (small group of 13 people) all perfect without any problem. The tour super organized, our guide Edmundo great as well as the driver Gilberto. They keep an eye on everything: they provide you with fresh water during the tour, a refrigerated wipe to cool you down when you arrive from the tour walk, cookies, are many details that are appreciated. Everything explained by Edmundo great, rating that he loves his work. The food in the restaurant is very good. I highly recommend the Enterprise and the excursion.

Antonio is a star! ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a day! So glad I did this tour - our guide Antonio was so caring and considerate, as well as super knowledgeable. It was very hot whilst walking around Tulum and Coba - Antonio ensured we were in the shade as much as possible and kept us hydrated throughout. The day flew by! We started off at Akumal to see the turtles 🤩 - with it being early, there wasn't too many tour parties in the water and we were able to enjoy our snorkel experience. Tulum was our next visit. Antonio is a fountain of knowledge and makes every stop on the tour full of interest and wonder. We then had a choice whether to continue to Coba or stop for lunch - we decided as a party to continue. Coba was just as wonderous, again due to Antonio's explanation at each stopping point on the tour. It was very hot and a bit of a trek to the pyramid so we decided to take the bicycle taxi - such a good idea and reasonable at 180 pesos 😊. We finished with a delicious buffet lunch and Antonio recommended a few places to visit during my remaining time in Mexico.

Great day with a great guide.

We had a great day seeing turtles and rays at Akumal and touring Tulum and Coba. The shuttle arrived on time and was clean and comfortable. Juan did a great job of getting us around safely. Special thanks to our guide Tonantzin! Very knowledgeable and great with creative picture opportunities.

Turtles Tulum and Coba for a great price

An amazing tour. We managed to book this tour and were completely alone the entire time. No other people had booked so we had a private guided tour the entire time. Our guide allowed us to customize our tour by giving us the choice to do lunch after the snorkel and then Coba or Coba first. We choose lunch first so we did Tulum snorkel lunch and Coba. We took a boat out to snorkel and they allowed us a stop in front of Tulum to get wonderful pictures. Snorkeling we saw a variety of fish sea urchins, a sting ray, and two turtles! The snorkel guides brought fish to feed the turtle so it swam with us for a while. A total highlight of our trip. Coba we opted for a guide for the first half and the second we completed on our own although he did give us the option of a full tour through all of Coba. We opted just for the basics then wanted to explore a little alone. The driver was wonderful as well making sure we had every convenience such as cold water after the long Coba hike. I highly recommend this tour and company.

Response from the operator: 🌈 What a fantastic review to read! We are beyond thrilled to hear how special your day was and how much you enjoyed having such a personalized, flexible experience from start to finish. ⏱️ We strive to tailor every moment to ensure an unforgettable, seamless, and deeply enriching journey 🌿. Backed by over 15 years of passion, securing your 🎟️ entrance passes in advance and adapting the rhythm to your preferences lets you explore the archaeological sites and coastal beauty at your own pace while capturing incredible 📸 photos. 🚐 Keeping you refreshed with cold water 🥤 after your hikes and ensuring total comfort in clean, modern vehicles is always our priority, especially after an incredible swim alongside turtles 🐢 and rays! 🙏 If your family or friends are planning a visit, please invite them to plan their next adventure with 🔹Mayan Riviera Tours🔹! We would be delighted to welcome them with the exact same dedicated care.

Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included.: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

How much does Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included. cost?

+

Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included. take?

+

Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.

Is Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included. worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included.?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included. suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included.?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Tulum, Coba & Akumal Turtle Snorkeling, All Fees Included. start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?

+

On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
