• Akumal Bay - Akumal Bay is the only place where to be sure to swim with sea turtles, protected by a natural reef and free to swim in the bay while eating the grass and reproducing themself.

We use the facilities of the main diving centre in the area, with lockers, bathrooms and showers, plus the service of an expert local guide, that will show you the turtles.

We take you first to the reef, using a speed boat, starting to swim there and see different corals and local fishes, stingrays, starfishes, etc; later on, we watch the turtles, in their natural environment, making sure we use the life jackets and staying in horizontal position, not touching them, but eventually taking pictures or videos, from the water surface.

It’s really important to understand we are not in a pool with turtles, but they are free in the ocean, so the average number of turtles we see is two or three, possibly of different sizes, from big ones to small little babies.

Please the use of sunscreen is not allowed; thank you.

• Blue Cenote - The cenotes we visit are (fortunately!) not listed on the map, because we enter a private community, having chances to explore the place on our own, walking from one cenote to the other, and most of the time staying alone there, in real contact with Mother Nature.

Our target is avoiding the big crowds (typical of the other places), giving chances to our guests to be in a quiet and calm area, where swimming in different cenotes, with crystal blue waters, and just listening to birds, while admiring those amazing caves and trees.

Life jackets and goggles are included too.

Water temperature could be fresh during the winter, so we suggest bringing perhaps a rashguard, if you feel so.

Use of Gopro or personal cell phones is allowed, to take pictures and videos, to remember such a unique experience!

All cenotes are nice, but to experience them alone in the jungle, is a different feeling and that’s what makes our activity so special.

Water shoes could be more comfortable for you.

Important:
