Chichen Itza, Cenote, and Valladolid Tour

VishKi, Sep 2026

Wonderful experience

We had a fantastic family day exploring Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Valladolid. It was a wonderful combination of history, nature, adventure, and Mexican culture, making the trip enjoyable for the whole family.Chichen Itza was the highlight of the day. Seeing the ancient Mayan ruins and El Castillo in person was an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Rafael (Rafa), made the visit even more memorable. He was a wonderful, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating details about the history, culture, architecture, and significance of the places we visited. His explanations brought the history of the Mayan civilization to life and made the experience much more meaningful.The cenote was another memorable part of the trip. After spending time exploring Chichen Itza, swimming in the cool, clear water was incredibly refreshing and fun for the entire family. It was a unique experience and a perfect contrast to the archaeological site.We also visited Valladolid, where we enjoyed the colorful streets, colonial architecture, and relaxed atmosphere. Rafa shared interesting information about the town and its history, which helped us appreciate Valladolid beyond just sightseeing.Overall, it was an excellent family excursion with the perfect mix of history, adventure, nature, and culture. A big thank you to Rafa for making the day so enjoyable and informative. His knowledge, friendly personality, and passion for the history of the region really stood out.We had a wonderful experience and came away with some fantastic family memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Yucatan Peninsula.

Exceptional Tour!!

Words cant even express how this experience enriched my entire trip, my first time in Mexico. Tour was indeed exceptional from start to finish. Our guide Felipe was very attentive, engaging to entire group, knowledgeable, humorous, and definitely has a passion for his job, which intern made him eager to ensuring customer satisfaction. I learned a-lot about heritage and now have more appreciation for Mexican culture. I would definitely recommend this tour nice full day journey to each stop was comfortable and each offering more.Thank you SAT Mexico for a memorable spectacular day.Regards, Nick 🇯🇲

Isla Mujeres Cruise with Beach Club, Snorkel, Lunch and Open Bar

Amazing Cruise Experience to Isla Mujeres! 🌴☀️

We had such an amazing time on our cruise to Isla Mujeres on September 9, 2026! The entire crew was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. ❤️ A special shoutout to Peter, our tour guide, who was absolutely amazing! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more fun. 🙌🏼 Our captain was also incredibly nice, and the whole crew made us feel welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. And I have to mention the two guys at the bar—they were on top of it! 😂🍹 We could barely finish one drink before they were already ready with the next one! They kept the drinks flowing and the good vibes going all day. 🍹 I wish I remembered everyone’s names because the entire team on September 9th deserves recognition. They were friendly, attentive, fun, and truly made our day special. We HIGHLY recommend this cruise! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re thinking about visiting Isla Mujeres, definitely book with them—you won’t regret it! 🌴💙

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

L2171JFrhondas, Sep 2026

LONG day but worth it

We were staying in Puerto Morales and we were picked up at 6:30 am. We were dropped back at our resort at 8:30 pm. It was a very long day! That being said, although extremely hot, chichen itza was amazing. Cesar was an excellent guide. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. Swimming in the cenote was so refreshing. Lunch was tasty. Tequila tasting was fun and educational.

Magical Cenote and Paradise Lagoon Snorkeling Adventure

cassandrarA8674DU, Sep 2026

Great!

We did the cenote and lagoon tour on our honeymoon. It was around $180.00 for two of us. They do try to get you with a $40 per person photo fee. You can take photos at the lagoon but not the cenote. It was very enjoyable. Pickup was right on time and explained very thoroughly in the email. It was a smooth process. The van was comfortable and spacious. Fernando was sweet and a great driver. We picked up other passengers along the way. There was around 14 of us I believe. We ended up getting to Yal Ku. JJ was a wonderful tour guide explaining natural history and explaining the process of how to snorkel. He helped us spot a sting ray, eel, and many other creatures. We then went to the cenote, which was gorgeous. JJ made sure to explain everything and added humor throughout. It was overall a great experience. Recommend.

Cancun Mayan Pass: ATV, Cenote, Zipline, Transportation & Horses

RAJ_S, Sep 2026

Must try - highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had an absolutely amazing experience at Mayan Jungle Rush! From start to finish, we had such a great time. The ATV ride was one of the highlights—it was so much fun riding through the jungle. The zip lines were exciting, the cenote was beautiful and refreshing, and the horseback riding was a wonderful addition to the experience.The staff and guides were friendly, energetic, and attentive. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout all the activities. Everything was well organized, and the experience offered a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun.They also have a shop where you can purchase souvenirs and other items. The prices were a little on the expensive side, but honestly, that’s understandable considering you’re in the middle of the jungle. It’s also convenient to have everything available there, especially if you need something at the last minute.**A few tips for anyone going:** Bring bug spray, wear shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet, and bring regular sunglasses. You’ll definitely be spending time in the jungle, so come prepared!Overall, we had an unforgettable day and would definitely recommend Mayan Jungle Rush to anyone visiting the Cancun or Puerto Morelos area. 🌴🏍️🐎💦
