We would recommend everyone to book this private tour, which is a lot more relaxed and you also get a lot of Gopro pictures (included in the price). The team around our guide Alejandro and Fernando was great! If you are thinking of seeing the turtles in Akumal, book this tour! We saw about 10 turtles 🐢Auto-translated”
