What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

    We could have have been a bit more information about feeder buses and a breakfast being offered. But the whole day was very well organised and it was very interesting.

    Brilliant trip. Our guide Fabian as incredible with is knowledge and the way he managed the group. My only thought would be more time needed at the cenote. At least 1 hr extra to really enjoy the cenote and buffet food. Also grounds were beautiful

    ????? This tour was an excellent experience from start to finish. The guide (Nefy)was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both engaging and informative. Everything was well organized, and we got to see and learn far more than we would have on our own. The pace was comfortable, and there was plenty of time for questions and photos. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting — it was a real highlight of the trip.

Tulum, bad i en cenote, snorkling etter skilpadder og strandklubb – alt i ett
Aktiviteter

Tulum, bad i en cenote, snorkling etter skilpadder og strandklubb – alt i ett

Nå er det blitt mye enklere å utforske Mexico. På denne heldagsutflukten kan du krysse av for ikke mindre enn fire ulike aktiviteter. Begynn med et guidet besøk i det arkeologiske området Tulum, og ta deretter turen til en cenote for å bade. Deretter går turen videre til Akumal for å snorkle. Dagen avrundes med lunsj på en strandklubb. Carmen, en av våre dyktige lokalguider, sier: "Den mest fotograferte bygningen på det arkeologiske området er Castillo, som ligger på en klippe med utsikt over Det karibiske hav. Castillo er kanskje den mest berømte, men det finnes mange andre gamle mayaruiner å utforske, som for eksempel Den nedstigende gudens tempel og Fresketemplet."På den guidede turen rundt i Tulum får du et innblikk i mayakulturens underverk. Du får vite mer om byens fortid som muromkranset by og dens tidligere rolle som handelsknutepunkt. Etter omvisningen får du tid til å utforske på egen hånd. Deretter kan du glede deg til å bli blendet av fargene i en eldgammel maya-cenote, en naturlig grotte med ferskvannsbasseng som forsynes av underjordiske vannkilder og ble ansett som hellig av mayaene.Etter et avkjølende bad, setter vi kursen mot det pittoreske kystsamfunnet Akumal, som er kjent for sin avslappede atmosfære, naturlige skjønnhet og rike marine liv. Med sin spennende undervannsverden byr Akumal på en av de beste snorkelopplevelsene på Riviera Maya. Her kan du oppleve en rekke tropiske fisker, koraller og kanskje til og med havskilpadder. Avslutt dagen med å slappe av og nyte et velsmakende måltid på en nærliggende strandklubb.
