Aventuras Maya

Highly recommend booking the «3 snorkeling sites in one trip». This includes Cenote, Ocean inlet, and Cavern. This tour takes about 6 hours and includes lunch. You can not wear regular sunscreen, you must wear biodegradable sunscreen. They will provide goggles and a snorkel. You only need a towel and sandals. Do not bring a lot of stuff with you, you will just have to leave it every time you stop. The really great thing is, Aventuras Maya owns the land where the Cavern and Cenote are. This means you are really just with a small group, no big lines or crowds. The only thing I did not like is you must wear a inflatable life vest at all times.
Our first stop was the Ocean inlet. This was about 40 min of constant swimming. Do not worry, it is not hard. It is actually very relaxing and a great time! The water flow almost pushes you the whole time, plus they give you fins for your feet. This is a mixture of fresh water and salt water, with amazingly clear turquoise water. You will get to see a lot of saltwater fish with great coloring. We really enjoyed this!
Second stop was the Cavern. I never new water could be so crystal clear, I mean it is just as clear as if you were looking into the sky. This was an amazing thing to see. The water is a bit cold and will shock you at first, but you will get use to it. You get to take pictures in the Cavern that will turn out great!
Third stop was the Cenote. This as well had crystal turquoise water, if I can only live next to a Cenote I would! They had a zip line and a jumping platform to play around on.
Lunch was ok, just a small taco style buffet. After lunch you will get dropped off at your destination.

I recommend this to everyone who visits Cancun or playa del Carmen. Our guide was very nice and fun. I enjoyed her having us as our guide. All the activities were fun and worth our time and money.
Professional pictures were taken of us during the activities so I definitely bought them.
The activity I enjoyed the most and would love to do again was snorkeling. I regret not having a water proof camera with me while snorkeling. It’s a memory I would have loved to capture in photo.
The water was so clear and you could see all the fish swimming by you. Even though the activity is labeled as snorkeling with turtles we did see stingrays and several colorful fish besides the turtles.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I had a hard time trying to figure out how to do it. Our guide was very helpful unfortunately by the time I get comfortable the activity was already over.
I do recommend watching a YouTube video or something on how to snorkel ahead of time.

We had a blast! We did the:
–zip line circuit, fun don’t do if you are afraid of heights obviously.
–ATV, I am inexperienced in riding motor vehicles but I caught on pretty quickly. The terrain is rough but As long as your not super frail, you will be able to control it.
–swam in the pond, which had a zip, snorkeled in a cave, not much to see since there wasn’t any wild life down there but it was fun.
The tour guides were very knowledgeable and hilarious! While riding the atv we had a couple in our group that was slower, the guides didn’t let the whole group get off schedule they seemed prepared for it. I appreciated that because that could’ve blew it for us. The lunch they provided was good too. I thought lunch gonna be along lines of cold cuts and a bag chips. I am definitely gonna be a excursion junkie from now on, lol.

Definitely ask for Nacho! He was funny, entertaining, and very knowledgable. My sister and I went on the Mayas Aventuras tour and had a wonderful time! I definitely recommend this company for any excursion you want to go on. I plan to go back next year!!!

Ask for Nacho, and you will have a splendid day exploring several different snorkeling sites, including a cenote, underground river in a cave and lagoon. This was the best excursion I’ve ever been on, and it also included an authentic, Mexican buffet for lunch.

Wow, that was the best excursion! It starts off my getting picked up at your hotel in an air conditioned van. It’s a 45 minute van ride so bring a bottle of water and enjoy the views of downtown Playa and the picaresque jungle. The road after you get off the highway is very bumpy, but remember you are being brought into a jungle.
When you begin your excursion you begin with the zip lining tour. Now, there are only 4 leads to zip on, but I have to say the staff is a lot more professional that the zip lining I experienced in Costa Rica. I think it was a great first experience for my boys. It didn’t over whelm them with it being incredibly long.
Then, we went on an ATV tour of the jungle. It took about 30 minutes to get to the sinkhole. The jungle trail is extremely rocky and filled with ruts and huge potholes. You need some sort of experience with motorcycles to operate these machines, because it takes a lot on manpower to steer and not crash on this rugged terrain. You can purchase insurance for $ 15 which is reasonable. I grew up driving motorcycles so I did not buy it, but no one on our tour crashed either.
Then you reach the end of the trail you are at the Mayan Sinkhole called a cenote. There is a zip lining bar that you hold onto to race your way into the sinkhole. When you reach a yellow rope then you let go and drop into the cold crystal blue waters. The only problem I found was that on your second turn it is hard to hold onto the bar with wet hands. Then after you cool off you drive your ATV back to base camp.
The last tour was my favorite, it was snorkeling in an underwater cave. They provide you with snorkeling gear and a life vest. I really wish had a waterproof camera for this part. It was stunning to swim in a cave and take in all of the majestic views. The stalactites and stalagmites were abundant. There were also many tiny catfish swimming with you!
I also wished I had brought a change of clothes. My clothes were all dusty from the ATV ride. You have to put your dirty clothes back on after swimming in the cave. Then sit in those dirty clothes back to your hotel.
