Highlights

More than just a turtle tour – a small-group, low-impact experience. Unlike big boats with 30+ people, we keep groups small (max 12-15 for the water part, even if the van holds 20) for personal attention and to protect the reef. Your certified local guide knows exactly where turtles feed in Akumal Bay and will teach you how to observe them respectfully and safely, without touching or chasing. Includes round-trip transport from Playa del Carmen / Playacar, snorkel gear, and time to explore the bay's tropical fish. Ideal for first-time snorkelers – safety briefing included.

About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is a relaxed Riviera Maya beach town with a buzzing pedestrian avenue, white sand, and cenotes, reefs and ruins close by.

Quinta Avenida, the town's long pedestrian street, runs parallel to the beach and is lined with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars that stay busy late. The beaches are wide and white, with Punta Esmeralda a local favourite for its shallow lagoon, and the water is warm and clear for much of the year.

Top-ranked sights in Playa del Carmen: Rio Secreto Nature Reserve, Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida), Cirque du Soleil Joya.
