Awesome Tulum and Turtles Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Tulum ruins and swimming in the cenote and with the turtles. Alex and Omar gave their total attention to us and ensured we had a great time.

Arturo was an amazing guide

Published on Dec, 2024

My wife and I had an amazing private tour of Tulum ruins with Arturo, followed by a beautiful cenote, lunch and finally swimming with turtles. It was a truly magical day and it was so well-paced and organised. Arturo was a brilliant and knowledgable guide and I would recommend the company to everyone!

Amazing!

Published on Dec, 2024

A wonderful experience with friends and our amazing guide, Joshua and our amazing driver, Rodrigo! Joshua was so knowledgable and fun to talk to. My friends and I did the Tulum Private Tour with Turtles and Cenote Snorkeling. We were a group of 8, so it was exciting to experience walking on Mayan land, snorkeling in the cenotes, and snorkeling with turtles. The experience is about 5 hours and it flew by! Joshua made the experience immersive and he was a great guy to talk to. My friends and I enjoyed learning about the Mayans. He showed pictures and gave us a mini history lesson while we were touring the Mayan Ruins and it was an incredible experience. He also took awesome photos of me and my friends. The lunch that was included with the experience was delicious! A great way to relax and chat before we headed to our last excursion. We were staying in Tulum, so it's about a 15-20 minute drive to each location after you're done. After we were done, Joshua gave awesome recs to do in Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. Thank you again Joshua! You were an awesome tour guide. If my friends and I are ever in the area, we'll definitely do a tour with you again! Muchas Gracias! :D

Must Do Tour - Amazing Experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

Wow, absolutely amazing tour! From the moment we were picked up at the hotel we had an incredible time. Our tour guide, JJ, was incredible! He had an answer for every question and had an amazing sense of humor. The tour bring you first to the Mayan ruins, we arrived at 8am before the heat a the crowds which was perfect. Next, we went to the Cenote. We were given the choice between 2 and picked the cave option. We were provided complimentary life vests and snorkeling gear. JJ gave our family of 22 all the guidance we would need and watched to make sure everyone was safe as there are no lifeguards on duty. We then stopped for lunch which was at a beautiful hotel. Again this meal was included in our ticket price. Finally we swam with the turtles. This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Playa Del Carmen or Tulum area. Thank you, JJ, for a fantastic experience

BEST Tour EVER!!! 4 Stars!

Published on Oct, 2024

OMG....We did two tours with Absolute Adventure on two different days, and both days couldn't have been more perfect. We loved our tour guide, Joshua. We were picked up promptly at our hotel, driven in a lovely clean spacious van to our various stops, given water and anything else we needed along the way. They helped us select the 2 Cenotes we visited, and they were both beautiful-truly special. Our tour in Tulum was detailed, and Joshua was very knowledgeable on the history of Tulum and the Mayan culture. We snorkeled with Turtles and the guide they provided was also very sweet and lef us to baby and adult giant turtles. It was truly all incredible and we will def use them for our next trip.
