We are a local and family cooperative formed by people who have grown up in Akumal and who have created memories in these waters throughout their lives. What makes this experience special is the opportunity to discover the bay alongside people who know and love this place. Our tours take place in small groups, allowing us to offer closer and more personalized attention, always with respect to sea turtles and the natural environment. In addition to swimming alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat, you can admire the richness of the marine life of the bay and take pictures and videos of your experience to preserve this special memory. More than a tourist activity, we want you to live Akumal from a local, authentic and human perspective, creating memories that accompany you long after your visit. ## Before you book - Meeting point: MEETING POINT : EL 7 - ELEVEN OF AKUMAL… - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 4 start times: between 08:30 and 11:30 - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Non-refundable: no free cancellation **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €38 per person - Duration: 1h - Rating: 4.99/5 from 83 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Operator: Green Life - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 08:30, 09:30, 10:30, 11:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-09 ## Reviews 4.99 from 83 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 83 of 83. - 5 stars: 82 (99%) - 4 stars: 1 (1%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Medical expenses insurance - Toilets and showers - Use of snorkeling equipment - Use of life jacket - Photographs and videos - Lockers - Access to the nature park - Tsuuk Akumal ## Not included - Lunch - Private transportation - Memories ## Schedule - Runs: Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun - Departures: 08:30, 09:30, 10:30, 11:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-09 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation All sales are final.
