Tulum & Xel-Há Day Trip
Description
Xel-Há is considered the largest natural aquarium in the world, and it's catalogued as one of the 13 Natural Wonders of Mexico. On this tour, you'll also visit Tulum, the most photographed archaeological site in the country.
Description
Picking you up first thing in the morning, we'll head to Tulum, the ancient Mayan city and one of the peninsula's most popular tourist attractions with spectacular views looking out onto the Caribbean Sea.
We'll follow an official guide as we pass through the Tulum ruins, and discover the abundant history hidden within the walled city constructed by the Mayans. We'll visit the construction known as "The Castle."
Another stop will be the Temple of the Descending God, associated with the Mayan God of the Bees, symbolising a link to the spirit world. Then we'll head to Xel-Há, a natural paradise where you'll be able to snorkel, snuba (something between snorkelling and diving) or Sea Trek (walking underwater with special masks which need no prior diving knowledge).
After a day in the Xel-Há adventure park, we'll take you back to the hotels in Riviera Maya.
