Sightseeing transfer with Akumal & Tulum

If you want to make today’s transport more exciting and get the most out of the journey from Playa del Carmen to Valladolid, we can recommend booking this sightseeing transfer, which offers you the opportunity to experience some extra exciting attractions en route.

You start the day with a pick-up from your hotel in Playa del Carmen, after which the trip heads towards Akumal, one of Mexico’s best snorkelling spots. Akumal is known for its stable population of sea turtles, which stay in the bay throughout the year. Here you have the opportunity to get up close to the sea turtles in the crystal-clear waters while snorkelling with these amazing animals in their natural habitat.

The next stop on the trip is the Tulum Ruins, which are perched on a cliff with spectacular views of the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea. Here you can explore the ancient temples and learn about the exciting history and culture of the Mayan civilisation in surroundings of breathtaking beauty.

The trip ends in Valladolid, where you will be dropped off at your hotel and have the rest of the evening on your own before another eventful day awaits you.

Duration: Approx. 9 hours

The trip includes: Transport, guide, snorkelling equipment and entrance fees.

Remember to bring: All your luggage must of course be brought on this transfer, but remember to pack a small bag with a towel, swimwear and sunscreen with a high UV factor – preferably one of the so-called reef-safe sunscreens that are free of the harmful substances that can destroy the corals.

NB: As the turtles do not live in captivity, there is no guarantee of seeing them.
