39 tours · €29–€341 per person · ★ 4.9
We picked 39 tours to swim with turtles in Akumal by hand: we read every listing and kept only tours rated 4.5★ or higher. The spread runs from €29 per person for a snorkel with photos to €341 per group for a private trip combining Tulum ruins and a cenote swim. Guided cavern trips combine snorkeling with sea turtles in the Riviera Maya and a cenote swim, with transport and snorkeling gear included so you can visit both on the same outing.
Check the option before you book: some beach snorkels exclude hotel transport, so you need to arrange your own journey to Akumal; entrance and conservation fees can depend on the ticket tier; some Tulum combos leave the ruins admission out of the price.
