Overview

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. Weather-depending, board a small boat for 2-3 minutes to then snorkel over the coral reef, before swimming to the protected area in which you will see turtles feeding. The total time in the water is approximately one hour.Drive time from first jungle stop approx. 1hr

Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve

Visit the jungle again, further inland, in an area populated by two indigenous species of monkey, howler and spider monkeys. Now protected by law, the Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve has no fences, but has been the home of these monkeys for many years. You can visit the site, hoping to see both species (but subject as always to rules of wildlife - no guarantee!) as well as more birdlife. For an additional USD40 per person, you can experience a Mayan cleaning ceremony, swim in a cave cenote, zipline across a lake and row back.Drive time from Akumal approx. 1hr15Drive time to Playa del Carmen approx. 1hr45 or to Cancun approx. 2hrs

Cool Cancun wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Cancun over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
