Overview

Operated by Senor Travel Bug, travel in Mexico's most iconic classic car, the VW Beetle (or a modern car), to explore four sides of the Riviera Maya. Start the day by swimming above a reef and then with turtles in their natural environment, guided by a certified expert. Next, visit the Mayan archaeological ruins at Tulum, one of Mexico's most iconic sites, with ruins perched on a clifftop above the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Drive through Tulum, where you’ll see the unique architecture and textiles of this rapidly expanding Bohemian town, before enjoying lunch at a place recommended by your guide. The lunch spot might be a beach club, offering pool, beach, and sea access, where you can relax for a few hours while marveling at the pristine white sand.

You will swim with turtles in the Caribbean, in the protected marine preserve at Akumal, Mayan for 'land of the turtles'. Respecting all the rules of the park to protect the turtles, you will be accompanied by both a locally accredited guide who specializes in the turtles and your tour guide for the day, recording video of you during the experience. You must wear a lifejacket (included), cannot wear flippers, have a floating ring if desired. You will, wind-dependent, board a boat for 3-5 minutes to arrive at the coral reef where you will then swim for approximately five minutes, before swimming to the protected area. You will then swim in the area where the turtles visit for approx 45 minutes, perhaps also seeing manta rays and other sealife.
