Amazing!!

Published on May, 2024

We did a half-day private tour snorkeling with the sea turtles and visiting a cenote with Arturo as our guide. He was outstanding, and our experiences were fantastic! The cenote we visited had only one other family there and we enjoyed the jumping platforms and the zip line! I highly recommend the experience and Arturo in particular as a guide!

Amazing experience!

Fantastic tour. Our guide Joshua was amazing, the cenote (stalagmites and stalagmites was the highlight of our entire trip. Highly recommend Absolute adventure private tours, we passed by large tour groups that looked miserable, but these guys handled everything so we had absolutely nothing to worry about but hearing the history and stories of the area. 10/10!

Book it NOW!

You can stop searching for a tour company! Truly this was the easiest and best part of our trip. We chose Tulum, Turtles, and Centote (I'd do the 3 Centote if I could choose again) and loved it. Arturo was our guide and was fantastic. He didn't tell weird jokes or yell like other campy guides can do - I felt safe and taken care of. It's easy to book and communication was seamless. DO IT. Have fun and tell Arturo that the quilter from Oregon says HEY.

Fabulous day!!

A private tour with Arturo is the way to go! Easy pick up at our hotel, our own guide at the at the Mayan ruins, swimming in Cenotes and then swimming again with the turtles. It was absolutely perfect.

Great Tour!

Rodrigo, our driver, and Joshua, our guide, picked us up in a spacious van at our hotel in Playa del Carmen at 7am. We visited Tulum first, and really beat the crowd! There was a long line to enter as we were leaving. From there, we were given the choice between 3 cenotes. We chose Taak bi Ha, which is a fairly enclosed cenote. It was amazing! We stopped for lunch at Juanita's and then drove to Akumal Bay where Joshua set us up with a snorkeling guide. We saw so many sea turtles, plus a sting ray, lots of tropical fish, and a lobster. Joshua was an excellent guide throughout the entire day, and Rodrigo was a safe driver. Would highly recommend this tour company if you are interested in a private tour!
