Overview

The perfect blend of ancient Mayan history, exhilarating adventure, and Caribbean bliss, all tailored exclusively for your private group.

Unlike crowded tours, you get a dedicated bilingual certified guide from start to finish. This ensures personalized attention and a deeper dive into the rich anthropological and historical context of the Maya sites you visit. The day is yours, with no waiting on other groups or following a rigid schedule.

We seamlessly combine three distinct experiences into one unforgettable day: exploring the magnificent Tulum ruins, sailing and snorkeling in the stunning Caribbean on a full vision catamaran, and discovering the natural wonders of cenotes with activities like ziplining and canoeing at Parque Tankah.

Every detail is handled for your comfort, including private transportation, an authentic Mayan lunch, and complimentary snacks and iced drinks. This is a private, customized adventure built for families and friends to create lasting memories.
