Operated by Senor Travel Bug, see lots of wildlife in the Cancun and Riviera Maya region, exotic and colourful birdlife in the jungle, potentially multiple species of turtles in the Caribbean sea and perhaps you'll also be lucky enough to see both the spider and howler monkeys further into the jungle in Yucatan's interior. Of course, all wildlife experiences do not guarantee specific animal sightings, but your guide is a former professional photographer who will share with you his best photos at the end of the day, and prepare a summary video of your day of up to 90 seconds as a memory.
You may choose to travel in a classic VW Beetle, or in a more modern vehicle.

Visit the protected marine area at Akumal, the Mayan "place of the turtles" with a local turtle guide, respecting the rules always on how to avoid disturbing these wonderful wild animals.

The total time in the water is approximately one hour. Drive time from first jungle stop approx. 1hr
