Discover the mysterious beauty of Tulum and the stunning natural aquarium that is Xel-ha on a relaxed excursion from Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

Tulum's close proximity to Cancun and the azure backdrop of the Caribbean Sea makes it the most visited of the Maya sites in the Yucatan and a unique trip back into history. Mounted on the edge of a cliff, this abandoned city towers above the beautiful white sandy beach, where the sun rises from the sea above the city walls and for the ancient Maya, begins her dance across the sky. You will have a 45 minute guided tour of Tulum before departing for the short drive to Xel-ha.

A large area of protected inlets and lagoons, Xel-ha is a beautiful natural aquarium, home to many varieties of colorful tropical fish. Here at your second stop for the day you can learn to snorkel and enjoy observing the fish at an arms length, explore centotes (underground caves) or simply sit in one of the beach chairs and soak up the sun along the spectacular coastline!

During your time in Xel-ha food, snacks, soft drinks, ice cream, beer, national alcoholic beverages are included, along with use of towels, locker and snorkeling equipment. The resort has 5 restaurants to choose from serving international and fast food. There will also be time to participate in a Swim with Dolphins activity (additional cost), one of the most popular things to do at Xel-ha. Depart Xel-ha at approx. 5:00pm for the 90 minute drive back to your hotel.

This one day tour offers you the best that Mexico has to offer, from Mayan culture and archaeology to a relaxing visit to Xel-Ha, where you are surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Mexican landscape.
