    Cenote, turtles and Mayan ruins Tulum

    We had a great day today snorkeling with the sea turtles. Our guides were very organized, patient and informative. From there we had a short drive to Dos Ojos Cenote where we snorkeled through the caves and tunnels into a bat cave which was amazing. After a decent lunch of fajitas at a quiet restaurant we went to the ruins in Tulum and had time to explore plus had a guide. My only comment would it in my opinion have been better to do the ruins first then hit the water as it was so hot by the end of the day out in the sun. Our guides, Gustavo and David were excellent as was our driver Saul. I would definitely recommend this company for small, well organized tours.

    Turtles/Tulum ruins/cenote swimming

    I did this tour 2 days ago, and it was definitely one of the highlights of my Mexican vacation. From booking at my resort, through to the hotel pick up and the actual tour, everything was seamless and well thought out. The guides and driver were amazing and very helpful. I had a bit of trouble snorkelling and Gabriel helped me the entire time and allowed me to see the turtles and go into the bat cave at the cenote. I highly recommend this company.

    Amazing day

    We went snorkeling and saw the sea turtles, stingrays, jelly fish, barracudas, and squids. It was amazing. We then went and swam in the cenotes which was also very relaxing and fun. We had delicious fajitas and spent time in some small shops on the way to Telum. Gustavo and Henry were friendly, helpful,knowledgeable, and made the trip one to remember.

    Day trip great time

    We booke this trip last minuit. The guids were great and fun. THey explained everything we were going to do and experience in depth. THey served us drinks and sandwiches in transite. THe turtle site was easly snorkled, we seen turtles, starfish, barracuda, and sting rays. We did the Myan tour with this, Was informative but hot still good to see the ruins. THe next was the cenots. The water is cold for the area, but was amazing to snorkle the cave and cavern. The wate is crystal clear. Lunch was also great. We would use Prodiver for another tour again

    Excellent Experience with Variety!

    We couldn’t be happier after booking the Turtle Snorkeling/Tulum Ruins/Cenote Snorkeling tour with ProDive. From the booking experience at our resort to the tours themselves, our expectations were exceeded. Our guides (Aldo & David) and driver (Jesus) were cordial, knowledgeable and fun! They helped us find lots of sea life while snorkeling, introduced us to an excellent guide at Tulum and were fantastic guides through the Dos Ojos cenote (our favorite part!) We were thrilled and would recommend these particular guides/driver and tour to anyone. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

    Tulum, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tulum, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 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, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 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, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya?

    +

    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, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tulum, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya?

    +

    Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tulum, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya 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 Best ATV Tour, Horseback Riding, Zip Lines, Cenote Swim, Tequila Tasting, VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, Chichen Private Experience. 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.

    What is included in Tulum, Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Adventure in the Riviera Maya?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Life jacket; Snorkeling equipment; Snorkeling at 2 unique locations (Turtle Reef and Cenote); and Sandwich and beverages. Not included: Alcoholic drinks; Photos and Videos; Souvenirs; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
