Akumal Bay + Balam Reserve Day Trip
Day Trip Description
Between 7 and 7:30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Riviera Maya and then head off to Akumal Beach to start our tour.
Once we get to the beach, we'll change into our snorkeling gear to explore this sea turtle sanctuary, where we can find hawksbill, and loggerhead, and green turtles. Fish stocks, stingrays, and many more await you amidst the coral as well.
Then we'll set off to Balam Reserve, and along the way, we'll have time to regain our strength and eat a sandwich. Before entering this amazing cave, we'll put on protective gear to be safe while exploring the grotto.
Finally, we'll leave this magical spot and head back to Riviera Maya, arriving at your hotel 5 hours after initial pickup.
