This is a premium all-inclusive experience designed for travelers looking for comfort, quality, and authentic nature.

In Akumal Bay, guests enjoy the facilities of a professional diving center, including lockers, bathrooms, warm showers, full snorkeling equipment, experienced local guides, and boat access to the reef for a smoother and more exclusive sea turtle experience in small groups.

After snorkeling, we escape the crowds and head into the jungle to explore three hidden cenotes located inside the same private property. All cenotes are within walking distance of each other, surrounded by lush nature, protected from the strongest sun, and filled with stunning crystal-blue waters.

To finish the day, guests enjoy a complete meal at Lara & Luca Restaurant, a real international air-conditioned restaurant with high-quality food options.

    Akumal Bay

    Akumal Bay is one of the very few places in the world where you can reliably swim alongside wild sea turtles in their natural habitat. Protected by a natural reef, the bay provides a safe environment where turtles freely feed on seagrass and reproduce, completely undisturbed in the open ocean. For your comfort, we use the facilities of the area's main diving centre, offering lockers, bathrooms, and showers. The experience is also led by an expert local guide, specially trained to interpret the marine environment and help you spot the turtles responsibly. The adventure begins with a short speedboat ride to the reef, where we start our snorkeling experience. Here, you may encounter vibrant corals, tropical fish, stingrays, starfish, and other fascinating marine life. We then continue to the turtle area, where we observe these incredible animals in their natural environment. To help preserve this delicate ecosystem, the use of sunscreen is not permitted before entering the water.

    Puerto Aventuras

    Discover three incredible crystal-clear cenotes hidden inside the same jungle property. Far from crowded tourist attractions, these cenotes offer a peaceful and authentic experience surrounded by lush nature, silence, and the untouched beauty of the Mayan jungle. Each cenote has its own unique atmosphere, with stunning turquoise waters partially covered by natural rock formations and protected from the strongest sun by the jungle canopy above. The result is a refreshing, relaxing, and almost surreal environment where guests can swim, float, and fully connect with nature in complete tranquility. All cenotes are located within walking distance of each other, allowing the experience to flow naturally through the jungle. Thanks to our small group format, guests can enjoy these magical places away from crowds and mass tourism. Life jackets and goggles are included; guests are welcome to use their own phones or GoPros throughout the experience to capture unforgettable memories freely.

    To complete the experience, we take our guests to Lara y Luca international restaurant, where you can finally relax in a comfortable air-conditioned environment after the jungle adventure. This is not a simple snack stop or basic local stand: it’s a complete dining experience, fully included in the tour. Guests enjoy a freshly prepared meal with excellent food quality and generous portions, together with a drink of choice: bottled water, soft drinks, a fresh fruit water of the day, or an ice-cold beer. *Vegetarian options are always available, as well as a dedicated kids menu for younger travelers, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Many guests mention the restaurant experience in their reviews because they understand how important a truly good meal is after an active and unforgettable day exploring cenotes. Great food, refreshing drinks, air conditioning, and a relaxed atmosphere become the perfect final touch to end the excursion in the best possible way.
