Great company to go and swim with whale sharks. Keep in mind these are only here in season…read more (Starting around June 1st - September 15th) The downside to coming to Mexico to swim with the Whale Sharks is you have to wear those ridiculous life vests, but in Isla Mujeres it's almost a guaranteed sighting. Due to government regulations no free diving . The life vest makes it seem like more of a tourist trap than pelagic adventures in other countries. Still a great experience to be in the water with such magical creatures.

What a great experience! My family and I couldn't be more pleased with the whale shark expedience…read morethat was provided. The boat ride to get to the sharks can be long (approx. 1 - 1.5 hours) but worth it. Our guide Felipe explained what we can do and what we cant do once we get to the whale sharks. Once a whale shark was spotted, the captain dropped us in the water, perfectly positioned to see the whale shark. Once we returned, we stopped at Playa Norte (some the prettiest water I have ever seen in my life) and they made some fresh ceviche for everyone on board. What a great day and I would recommend their services to anyone.

THE BIG: Pink Lagoons and Flamingos in the Yucatan!…read more THE BLACK AND WHITE: The bae and I decided to do a day trip up to Las Coloradas from our stay in Valladolid. It wasn't too far of a drive (~1.5 hrs) with no tolls. When we got to the place, we were hounded by the tour guides, apparently, you have to pay 50 pesos to get in. We did just that and got stunning views of the pink salt lagoon (2 micro algae form to produce this enriched salt) and a regular salt lagoon. It is also very hot, be sure to wear lots of sunscreen. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately since there's a new law that prohibits you from going into the water and just randomly wandering in. You have to pay 50 pesos to get a tour guide and see the pink lakes up close. Otherwise, you can grab them from afar.

It's certainly an interesting place, though recent changes in the rules and regulations have made…read moreit less of a value. You can't go in the water or even terribly near it - just stand above it while your "guide" (who walks with you 200 yards or so) takes pictures. Still, the pink lakes are unique so if that's what you're looking for and you don't mind paying a little much to see them, then go for it!

Fourth and final stop of our day tour…read more Never did I imagine in my entire life I'd get to visit one of the seven wonders of the world. Hubbers took the initiative of booking the tour, so when I found out this was included, I was ecstatic. It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot and during hot and humid seasons, an umbrella is highly recommended - a hat will simply not do. They have rentals available for $80MX (it was worth it during our run.) There are souvenir vendors on both sides of the road on the way to the actual site but save that for the end. Our guide was pretty much a Chichen Itza expert. This whole place is not only about a pyramid (although that's the very center point) but this was once a place of civilization. On one side is where the market used to be. On another is where the sports coliseum was. We learned a lot about the Mayan's way of life pre-Columbian era. This place is one of those you know about but not really know a lot about; no longer the case after this visit. Be wary: other than those posted on the road, there will be a lot of walking vendors trying to sell their products. Don't be shy or afraid to bargain, they welcome it. Tickets are around $35-40US, give or take, for non-residents, depending on the conversion. I believe it's free for residents. Worth it. Such a great way to end our day tour. If you haven't been and find yourself within 100 miles, I'd highly recommend coming through.

It's one of the 7 wonders of the world so its a must! It's a 79-foot step-pyramid with 365 steps to match the solar calendar. There are a lot of temples to check out locally. There is also a scared cenote nearby that is a mayan archeological site - Columbian Mayans made a lot of sacrifices into the cenote to the rain of god Chaac. Overall a good day to learn about the history, it was super hot before and it started thunder storming, and was a breathtaking experience

Xenotes Tour was so much fun. It's different that the other two (Xcaret and Xplor) and I highly…read morerecommend this one! At the Xenotes Tour, you get to enjoy four cenotes plus different activites at each: Ziplining, Snorkeling, Rappeling, Kayaking, Inner Tubes, and Cliff Jumping. There's also a photographer that is with us throughout the whole time capturing pictures of everyone in our group. They also provided two meals, the first one was pastries and beverages (water, soda, hot chocolate, and coffee) and the last one was a full on buffet spread (salad, cheese, meats, bread, water, soda and beer). Our tour guide, Manny was amazing and he made the trip very memorable. He was very helpful with my mother in law and my little son. He guided the group from beginning to end and made the trip to all four cenotes a breeze. We all had a fantastic time and we even purchased the pictures at the end. Aside from the photographer, I recommend bringing a water case for your phone and a GoPro! We got so many amazing videos with my husband's GoPro. I cannot express how fun this excursion was and would definately do it again. Tips: Wear a swimsuit, water shoes and comfortable clothing on the bus and for after. Towels are provided. Bring cash to tip your tour guide for an amazing time. The cenotes are located in the middle of the jungle so cell phone service is not available.

When going to holbox by driving your car, you will find a lot of parking options for day-in-and-out as well as overnight stays. Price for the overnight is about 8 dollars which is a bargain. Same as cancun, you will find a lot of ferry tickets sellers on your way to the pier, you go straight to the pier and buy the tickets from the only two major companies there, one that is more like the Cancun's ultramar and the other that is more like a family owned ferry (7 or 9 hermanos is the name, but also a big ferry). We used both, service was equal, great, climated area, open air roof, bar service, bathroom. Family owned was cheaper, so that would be our choice next time. Xolbox is almost 98% cash only, so make sure of that before you go. The beaches are worth it. It is like going to a desert caribean island with few real estate development, cell signal on and off, cash only, but the sea and the view are worth the price, if you want to disconnect from everything.

Our guide, Erik, could not have been more of a delight. He was so friendly and made the whole experience that much more incredible. His knowledge of the site and his safety tips helped us at each event. While we were there we went through several ziplines, snorkeled through ancient cenotes, rappelled, and got to eat some delicious and authentic Mexican food. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone looking for something exciting on their trip.

We did 2 ziplines, canoed, swam in the Cenote, and ate a delicious meal. Our tour guide Tonica was outstanding, explaining to us the culture of the Mayans and the history of the area. No phone are allowed during this portion, but there are lockers available to store your things. Our 2nd stop was at the Coba ruins, where we saw the Mayan temples in the town of Coba. It was a long walk to the main temple, but it was a cool experience and beautiful architecture to see. The whole trip was an all day adventure, but well worth it! Definitely recommend if your looking to learn about the culture of the area and the people who live here! :-)

Transportation was right on time, no transfer to another bus, or another stop, or (like other excursions we've been on). Also it took less than an hour from the hotel zone. The guys working at Selvatica went above and beyond. What a nice group of people working. Every single person working was non stop going, and still were so happy and nice. They made us feel comfortable, and made our day so enjoyable. It is a guided, organized experience so you're guaranteed to do everything that you signed up for. Barely any wait, and you're basically with the same group the whole time. The light 'snack', is a turkey sandwich, and then you get lunch (tacos/fajitas) at the end. There's a very cool bar, the place itself is picture worthy, you feel like you're in a tree house! Highly recommend doing this. There are lockers there, but can't bring phones on most of the activities. There are photographers (hanging from zip lines!), and photos for purchase at the end. $100, however they came with nearly 150 photos, worth the purchase. Recommend - wearing comfy clothes, bring a swim suit, and if you have crocs id wear those.

Our group comprised of three families with adults, teens, and young children. It was all of our first times traveling to Cancun so I wanted to find a private tour for my large group. Booking with them through their website was easy and they were very quick to communicate via email. Leading up to the tour, we had some travel delays, but after updating Rod and their team of our situation, they were very accommodating. Kat was our guide and Pepe was our driver. Kat was informative during our guided walk of Chichen Itza and also accommodating of our last minute concerns and needs. Pepe was a great driver and got us to our destinations swiftly and safely. Marveling at the ruins at Chichen Itza and learning more about the history of Mayan culture and the way life might have been like at the time was very interesting. Kat took photos during our entire tour and later shared them via Google. A plus for our group as we LOVE photos. On our way to Cenote Samaal, we requested a stop for some fresh coconut water. They were quick to find a vendor on the side of the road. Pepe also got out and helped cut the coconuts for the 12 of us. Very impressed with his initiative and helpfulness. The coconuts were so refreshing after walking around in the sun at Chichen Itza! Admission, locker access, life jackets, and lunch were provided for us at Cenote Samaal. Everyone in our group enjoyed swimming in the cenote. The lunch buffet was a favorite among the adults in our group as we got to get a taste of Yucatan cuisine. There was something for everyone on this tour and I would highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Cancun and wanting to get more than just a tour of Chichen Itza, but an experience of what the Yucatan area has to offer. We will definitely be touring with them again when we're back for our next Cancun adventure!
