About  the Akumal Turtles:

Akumal is famous for its sea turtles. Sea turtles have in common that they all enjoy warm and calm beaches, with plentiful seagrass and protected by a reef: this is just what Akumal Bay offers!  On our tour, we take you in a small boat just 0.2 mile/300 meters (5 minutes) offshore. Snorkeling above the seagrass beds gives you the best chance to see the sea turtles and stingrays. If currents and visibility allow us, we will take you also to the reef to observe sea fans and several species of hard and leafy coral. Snorkeling along the reef, you will come across shoals of grunts, blue tang, parrotfish, or butterflyfish.

The name "Akumal" comes from the Mayan, meaning "place of turtles." Each year hundreds of turtles arrive to lay their eggs in the sand and feed on the seagrasses. Adding to the allure is that it's home to three species of sea turtles: Green, Loggerhead & Hawksbill.

In Mexico, turtles are protected since 1990. Fishing, hunting, or poaching turtles is now a federal offense.

Important note about Zipline and Rappeling activities:

Jungle Adventure is designed to be family-friendly, but please be aware of certain age restrictions for safety purposes.

Zipline and Rappelling Activities: Children under 5 years old are not permitted to participate in the zipline and rappelling activities. For toddlers in this age group, we kindly ask that one of their parents accompanies them while the rest of the group enjoys these activities. Safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding in ensuring everyone's well-being during the tour.

Activities like snorkeling, rappelling and ziplining are not recommended for pregnant women in their first and last trimester of pregnancy and people with a history of heart or respiratory problems and/or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The minimum age for the zipline and rappel activity is 5 years, and between 25kg/55 lbs and 120 kg/264 lbs.

Info about Cenotes:

Cenotes are natural wonders found in the Yucatan Peninsula, essentially limestone caves filled with crystal-clear water. What makes them truly remarkable is their unique geological formation and the lush environment that surrounds them. In the Riviera Maya, snorkeling inside cenotes is a highly sought-after aquatic activity due to the unparalleled experience they offer.

When visiting a cenote, it is important to follow the safety instructions provided by your tour guide or the cenote's staff. This includes wearing a life jacket if you are not a strong swimmer, using provided safety equipment such as flashlights and water shoes, and not touching or disturbing any of the natural features or wildlife in the cenote.

Our exclusive cenotes, nestled in the heart of the Riviera Maya, are known as Ix Balam and Yum Balam. When we first discovered these cenotes, we were captivated by the presence of both large and small jaguar footprints in the area. This remarkable sighting inspired us to name this pristine cenote region after this magnificent jaguar family.

The average water temperature of cenotes varies depending on the location and time of year. Most of the time, the water in cenotes is typically cool and refreshing, with temperatures ranging from around 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 27 degrees Celsius). In some cases, the water may be warmer or colder, depending on factors such as the depth of the cenote and the surrounding air temperature.
