Next, head to Akumal Bay, where your guide will take you to the best spots to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat. Turtle sightings are guaranteed, and you'll also spot colorful fish and coral all around. To wrap up the day, enjoy a swim in a breathtaking underground cenote.

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.
