Looking for a tour in the Yucatan Peninsula that offers a full day of eco -friendly adventure, including a little history and yet a relaxing tour at the same time? Well then look no further, the Mayans Explorers Eco Adventure Cool Tour is just for you!
Our family recently enjoyed this full day tour in a comfortable mini-van which included not one, but two pleasant and knowledgeable tour guides throughout the day. Forget those large and crowded tour buses and check out these smaller more intimate tours at comparable competitive prices.
First, check out the companies short video giving you a brief look at what your day will and include and what you will experience on their Cool Tour.
Mayans Explorers Is A Family Operated Tour Company
Mayans Explorers is a family run business specializing in more private and / or smaller group tours such as ours. Our group consisted of 6 people only, making the tour much more relaxed and comfortable.
The company specializes in eco-adventure and archaeological tours and this definitely is displayed by how passionate the tour guides are to preservation of the environment and the areas Mayan history.
Both our guides had excellent English speaking skills and are certified by the Mexican Tourism Bureau.

First Stop Snorkeling In Turtle Bay Akumal
Mayans Explorers Eco Adventure [Cool Tour]
Our guides picked us up right on time from our hotel and we were just minutes away from our first stop at Turtle Bay. This is a protected Bay for the conservation of the Turtle population.
We were formally escorted by our guides into the water and enjoyed about an hour snorkeling time, surrounded by beautiful turtles. We also had a few exciting brief appearances by stingrays.

We arrived early, avoiding the larger crowds arriving in buses to this popular tourist destination. A great way to start the day, making our way back to the van proceeding to our second stop at the eco reserve of Tankah.
Second Stop – Tankah Eco-Adventure Reserve

Enjoying zip lining at Tankah
Tankah is an ecological reserve situated inland approximately half an hour driving time from Tulum and was once a part of an ancient Mayan city many years ago. A beautiful reserve with a few villagers living in the park who maintain and treat you to a traditional outdoor lunch.
Again, we were the lucky ones, arriving with no one else on the reserve during our stay. It was a beautiful and peaceful setting, where we enjoyed zip lining, canoeing and a lovely swim in an open fresh water cenote.
All to ourselves which made this private group tour even more appealing!

Tulum National Park
After enjoying a lovely lunch and short break, it was time to make our way back to Tulum and the famous archaeological site of Tulum Ruins.
This site is known for being one of the most beautiful Mayan cities in the Yucatan Peninsula, situated along the shores of the Caribbean Sea.
Tulum Ancient City Ruins
Our guide Luis led us on an informative walking tour of the Ruins, offering detailed information on the history of the site and its people inhabiting the city during that time.
A wonderful tour that should not be missed when visiting the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

A great way to end a wonderful day and tour with Mayans Adventures. This Cool Tour is one the entire family can enjoy and simply cannot stress enough the advantage of taking a private small group tour compared to the larger big bus tours offered.
When you go as group, the overall cost is not much more than larger bus tour and the quality of tour is far superior!
Below, I have listed the companys official Facebook page for your convenience for more detailed information on tours offered and current prices. It appears as of February 2021, their website is down at this time. It is most probably due to the most unfortunate Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
