Wow!!! So much happened in this trip that it's hard to summarize. First off...take more cash than you think you need. You'll visit several places that don't have credit cards as an option. And then remember to tip your house at the end. We felt so bad that we only had $1 dollar left to give them because they were so amazing!! So nice and polite and knowledgeable. This was a very long excursion (12.5 hours) that was incredible and we're so glad we took the time to do it. We learn s so much from the guide and the places themselves.

Do not pay for a tour their ripping you off and they only charge 120 pesos to get in at each cenote. The city is not that big you can rent a car for 300 pesos a day.

I've been diving in Cozumel a dozen times but this was my 1st trip to Tulum and the Cenotes. Stumbled on ABSOLUTE ADVENTURES on Trip Advisor. It seemed a bit expensive but was so worth it! Dulce (what a doll!) and her driver met us just off the boat and gave us a day to remember, highlight of the week! Dulce was personable, articulate and knowledgeable of all aspects of Tulum ruins and Mayan history and the Cenotes and "their" amazing history. The tour also included a Mayan lunch at Dos Ojos and then Dulce joined us for a "snorkel with the turtles" at Playa Akumal before dropping us back off at the pier where we caught the ferry back to Cozumel. There was even a little shopping time and a quick Starbucks at the adjacent mall; all in all, a full and very satisfying day of New Adventures and lots of photos.

I cannot recommend this day tour or these people enough! Chris was our guide and made the whole experience fun, entertaining & comfortable. All we did was show up in the lobby of our hotel and he took care of the rest. We never wanted for anything...coffee & danish for the ride there; snacks & beverages throughout the day. We started at the ruins, which were incredible. Chris was extremely knowledgeable of the history & answered all our questions. Next stop, a refreshing swim in the beautifuI Cenotes. We ended our day with a fabulous lunch & shopping in Valladolid. Shout out to Juan as well - our faithful driver who kept all our belongings safe & secure while we were off adventuring. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I would 100% book another tour with them.

A whole day dedicated to nature, beginning with the visit of Las Coloradas, also known as “the pink sea of Yucatan”. The color of the water is due to the high concentration of salt that has the bottom, which makes it a real show. Afterword we will move to the village of Rio Lagartos, located on the edge of a mysterious lagoon, also known as “the sanctuary of the pink flamingo”. Here lives more than 320 species of birds, between the mangroves that are the natural scenography of the place

Inclusions: English Speaking Guide, Lunch in a local Restaurant, Roundtrip Transportation, Shared Boat, Lunch

Exclusions: Drinks during the lunch, Natural Reserve Entrance Fee, Supplement for Pick-up / Drop-off in Cancun Hotels

Salvatore was very knowledgeable and gave us a great day! He was flexible in the order we did things, suggested Tulum first before it got too hot, then lunch, Coba and then a Cenote. For us this was perfect! We all (2 couples) felt like we learned something and got some great insights to the Mayan culture and lively conversation during the drives. Absolutely recommend this tour!

Such an incredible day of exploring the ruins at Muyil and floating through the mangroves in Sian Ka’an. Salvdor made all of the arrangements for the day, picked us up in an air conditioned van, and provided a wonderful picnic lunch by the water. I would highly recommend Best Maya Tours. Very organized and professional.

The Guide Tzamn is one of the best guides I‘ve ever had around the world so far! I was travelling a lot and my experience with Mextisoul was one of the best! Very competent, deep knowledge about various cultures which impressed me a lot. Very reliable, helpful and kind! It was a great experience to travel 3 days though Yucatan with Tzamn, the owner of Mextisoul... I really recommend to book a trip! It‘s worth the money! I was/am very satisfied! Would definitely book again when next time in Yucatan!???? (btw. I was travelling there in May 2019, but could not select that)

The Rio Lagartos Reserve is a natural place that is home to many types of flora and fauna, including birds, American flamingos and crocodiles, as well as being one of the most important natural reserves in Mexico. Within the reserve there are some pink lagoons in a dream, the color is caused by the reproduction of the Artemia Salina, this microorganism is responsible for feeding the American Flamingos that nest and reproduce in the reserve. Our guides specialized in birds will explain everything about the flora and fauna that inhabit the place, without a doubt an experience that you should not miss.

This is a fantastic agency organizing amazing tours to see the luminescence and mangroves in an ecoway (canoe and swimming). The guides are great particularly Ivan that is very knowledgeable on the mangrove environment and will go out of his way to show you its treasure. Don't miss your opportunity to see the endangered and prehistoric Atlantic horseshoe crab (or at least its shells) that is threatened now by the disapearance of the mangroves due to touristic/urban development but mostly because they are used as bait for octopus fishing. So if you can do one small action to protect it, is to ban octopus from your menu while in Mexico. Carlos the manager will go all his way to accomodate your need and prepare your trip well in advance. You shouldn't miss it.
