From the time we were picked up at the Hotel, till we were dropped off at the end of the day…Everything was Amazing! Our guide Manuel was so friendly and knowledgeable. His passion and love of his country really made for a special day. Swimming in the Cenote was both relaxing and beautiful. Lily pads all around were magical. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious followed by snorkeling with Turtles. We saw 11 Turtles, 3 Rays, a Puffer Fish, Lobsters and a Sea Urchin!!! So Cool! Safety was #1 on the list…we swam with Lifejackets and Covid Precaustions were taken. We took a private tour and it was well worth the money. DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!!hollyogara

What a great day with Absolute Adventure! Juan and Mauricio took care of every detail - and from start to finish it was perfect. Touring the ruins in Tulum early morning was the right choice. We avoided the crowds and felt as if we had the place pretty much to ourselves. Juan is not only very knowledgeable of Mayan culture, he is super entertaining and his level of attentiveness to our group of 3 was fantastic. The swim in the Cenote was beautiful and relaxing. We loved the lunch spot - delicious food and drinks. We saw several sea turtles, a sting ray and lots of fish snorkeling in Akumal. I highly recommend taking a private tour with Absolute Adventure. You will not be disappointed!Water_Lover_1010

This day trip was AMAZING. Arturo was a kind and informative guide, herding our unfocused group of 8 with apparent ease. We loved swimming with the sea turtles, which was peaceful and magical despite many other tourists there at the same time. Somehow Arturo arranged for us to spend a little extra time at the reef so that we saw sting rays and colorful fish in addition to the turtles. In all, it was a really memorable, lovely outing. We then went to the Pet Cemetery cenote. I wasn't thrilled about swimming in a cave and I was wrong: it was incredible. The water was crystal clear and fresh, the cave, the rock formations fascinating. I can understand why these were considered sacred spaces - they were special places we felt lucky to see. In all, this outing was something we will remember as a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Arturo!Isaac_M

We had a great experience from the get go until the very end. Manuel was our tour guide, right from the start - he was on time, very kind and super funny. He was very knowledgable and made sure he addressed any question we may have. He was also very patient with us as we visited a couple of different places. I would 100% recommend Manuel to anyone who is looking for a private tour - he was so worth it and I would do more with him specifically. Thank you so much Manuel.lyndsayv2022

A great experience all around. Would highly recommend this tour as a way to get in multiple experiences. We arrived at the ruins early so they were not crowded. The ruins are very interesting and have some fantastic views. While snorkeling we saw fish, a sting ray and a sea turtle. The turtle swam very close to us and we were able to watch it swim and eat for a while. While we didn’t see a lot of turtles, I thought that part of the experience was still worth it because of how great the view of the one we did see was. The cenote was beautiful and very relaxing. It was not too crowded and at times we had the whole cenote to ourselves. We went to Nicte Ha. Our guide, Juan, was great. He cares a lot about your experience on the trip. He was very knowledgeable about Mayans and nature. Just chatting with Juan in the van and at lunch was honestly one of the best parts of the tour.
