    Jättefin park med massa upplevelser. Floden var jätte skön och vid snorklingen såg man massor av fiskar. Såg massor av djur. Maten som ingick var jätte god. Showen var magisk. Logistiken vid transfer funkade jätte bra. Mindre bra var faciliteter för dusch och omklädnad. Kunde fått bättre information om hur man utnyttjade parken till fullo.

    Parken är väldigt fin och simturen i ”floden” är kul! Dock kan man som svensk med fördel åka dit på egen hand. Transporten som ingick med TUI gav info mestadels på spanska och guiden var mer intresserad av att sälja saker än att ge behövlig information.

    Allt var klockrent! En fullspäckad park där man tänkt på varenda liten detalj. Vi köpte inte till någon av de "dream activites" som fanns, men det gick ändå att göra massor av roliga saker. Missa inte showen på slutet innan de stänger!

Tulum, cenote-bad, sköldpadds snorkling & Beach Club kombotur

Att utforska Mexiko har precis blivit mycket enklare. På detta heldagsäventyr kommer du att få uppleva inte mindre än fyra olika aktiviteter. Börja med ett guidat besök på den arkeologiska utgrävningsplatsen Tulum och ta dig sedan till en cenote för att bada. Därefter bär det av till Akumal för en stunds snorkling. Avsluta dagen med lunch på en strandklubb. Carmen, en av våra kunniga lokalguider, säger: "Den mest fotograferade byggnaden på den arkeologiska utgrävningsplatsen är Castillo, som ligger på en klippa med utsikt över Karibiska havet. Castillot är kanske det mest kända, men det finns gott om andra gamla mayaruiner att utforska, t.ex. den nedåtgående gudens tempel och freskernas tempel.Mayakulturens underverk kommer att avslöjas på din guidade rundtur i Tulum. Du får lära dig om dess förflutna som en muromgärdad stad och dess tidigare roll som handelsplats. Efter rundturen har du ledig tid att utforska på egen hand. Förbered dig sedan på att bli bländad av färgerna i en gammal maya-cenote, en naturlig grotta med en sötvattenspool som matas av underjordiska vattenkällor och anses helig av mayaindianerna.Efter ett svalkande dopp åker vi till det pittoreska kustsamhället Akumal, som är känt för sin avslappnade atmosfär, naturliga skönhet och rika marina liv. Med sin spännande undervattensvärld erbjuder Akumal en av de bästa snorklingsupplevelserna i Riviera Maya. Här finns en mängd tropiska fiskar, koraller och kanske till och med havssköldpaddor. Avsluta dagen med att varva ner och njuta av en god måltid på en närliggande strandklubb.
