13 tours · €31–€270 per person · ★ 4.9
Looking to swim with turtles in Akumal, we read every listing for you and kept 13 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €31 per person for guided snorkeling off Tulum's coast to €270 for a private ruins, cenote and turtle trip with transport. Akumal turtle snorkeling trips often pair the bay with a cenote swim, with transport between stops so you can do both in one outing.
Check the option before you book: the cheapest trip takes you snorkeling with sea turtles off Tulum, not in Akumal Bay. Some cenote and beachside lunch trips have separate booking tiers with or without entry and conservation fees. The ruins and beachside lunch combo excludes entry to Tulum's archaeological site, even though the visit is part of the route. The best reviewed turtle snorkeling tours come first below.
