This is an excellent day trip from Cancun! I wish I had a little more time in both places. Tulum was facinating and Xel Ha was a lot of fun. The guid did a great job and assisted me in booking optional activities at Xel Ha.

This is a must xel-ha is stunning the view is out of this world and there is enough to keep you or the young ones occupied all day the food and drink are good. Tulum is very interesting and only takes a couple of hours out of your day worth seeing though if you like history .If i had one criticism i dont like dolphins in captivity.

This trip was absolutely terrific, and everything I wanted. The roller coaster skycycle was quite a thrill and the zipline splash landed in the cave! Best of all was snorkeling in the cenote. The exquisite beauty and majestic inside of the place was sheer magic. Our guide was experienced, patient, and knowledgeable. I went with a group of teenagers and they all loved it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of adventure and a fantastic memory. Unfortunately our pictures did not turn out, but what a fun ride!!
