Fantastic Day - We had Juan Carlos as our private guide, he was excellent. All of our needs were taken care of with great attention to detail. The snorkeling was very good, seeing 5 turtles and a ray. The trip to the cenote was outstanding. What an amazing natural treasure. Lots to see and experience. The lunch supplied was very tasty. One of our best excursions ever!

Cenote cave and cenote snorkling - We were a family of 13 persons whereof 5 kids beteeen 1-9 years old. Victor and his partner took good care of us all and especially the kids. They were very flexible since the weather conditions did that we had to reschedule som parts of the trip

Wonderful Tulum experience with guide JC! - Wonderful experience! Victor was easy to work with and communicative. There was a miscommunication with our original booking date and Victor was quick to apologise and make it right for us. The guide/driver JC was fabulous, helpful, friendly and informative.

This intimate tour was... - This intimate tour was amazing! JC made sure we were taken care of. Snorkeling was fantastic. So easy to get equipment and best. I saw 4 turtles!! It’s hard to put into words what the cenote was like. Bats, clear water, trees, and meditation in darkness. The lunch was delicious and even saw monkeys! Timing of everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Half Day Tour - JC and Elisa were awesome tour guides. Went to the ocean to see the turtles, which was awesome. Then visited a Cenote. One of the coolest things we’ve done. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely Terrific! - Perfect tour from start to finish. Seamless pickup, transportation, preparations for snorkeling in Akumal Bay, boat ride, follow-the-leader snorkeling to see tropical fish and SEA TURTLES! Turtles swam near us, bobbed their heads up and were easily visible in the very clear water. Thrilling! Then a trip to a cenote cave where we swam (not snorkeled) in an underground cave with amazing stalactites, chambers, and a total darkness experience. Again Thrilling! Loved it so much. Lastly a scrumptious "snack" but actually a filling lunch of 3 empanadas, beans, rice and lemonade (other drinks for purchase). Vendor at the picnic site had whole coconuts to sell; he lopped off a bit of the top and put in a straw so we could all drink some fresh coconut water, then he chopped off the hard coconut shell and gave us the fresh coconut meat to take with us. Scrumptious! Last but not least, the primary reason all this was so fabulous was the staff of Paradise Adventours. Victor who worked via WhatsApp with me to make the arrangements, Juan Carlos who was our driver and tour guide and friend and helper, Cynthia who guided us on our snorkeling trip - all of them truly seemed to have our enjoyment as their number one goal. Do Do Do book with Paradise Adventours and you will not be disappointed.

This is it! - I compared many tours, but this one was such a great deal. Kids loved this tour the most. Amazing stuff, JC and Jesus. Súper friendly and respectful. They’ll try their best to make you feel comfortable. They also will try their best to make your trip as memorable as possible. Cenote was awesome, Tulum ruin was also awesome …there was nothing we didn’t like about. Stop wasting your time browsing other tours. If you want to add or something, talk to the company. They will try their best to meet your needs!

Wonderful experience with room for improvement - Our guide was friendly and pleasant, but I would have appreciated more information about the local area, its history, and points of interest. Unfortunately, the photos he took during the tour were unusable as they came out blurry and too dark, which was quite disappointing. I was really hoping to have some nice memories captured from the experience.
