Ride rescued horses through the Yucatan jungle, then cool off in a cenote on a small-group tour with pickup from Cancun or Playa del Carmen.
“My daughters and I went horseback riding and swimming in a cenote, and the experience was amazing and unforgettable. This is exactly why I chose to travel with my daughters during the holidays—to teach them the value of life experiences. This trip was exactly what we needed. The horses were beautiful and well-maintained, and everything about this place was stunning. I highly recommend it. It even comes with a hilarious and awesome tour guide and a 'paparazzi' to capture your beautiful moments.”

We know where and when to meet and look forward to a smooth ride back with our “Happy” driver! The contact from this company is extraordinary as they keep you updated, explain throughly and chat return quickly! Very great service by all our contacts! Thank you”

Swim with whale sharks on a small-group tour from Cancun and the Riviera Maya, with hotel pickup, snorkeling, and Caribbean lunch.
“Our tour guide was Pia and she was amazing, very enthusiastic and informative and friendly. We got to swim with the whale sharks (there were hundreds in the area) very easily. Each couple got three turns in the water with the whale sharks, about 5-10 minutes each turn. Pia was always with us in the water, assisting and filming (for purchase later at a reasonable price of $50). The boat captain and deckhand were helpful in facilitating the whole process. It takes a while (perhaps an hour) to get to the whale shark location. The second stop (snorkeling off the tip of Isla Mujeres) seemed a little rushed and the…”

One long day that links Tulum cliff ruins, Cobá jungle pyramids, a Cenote Kuxtal swim, plus Playa del Carmen’s Quinta Avenida.

Coba was the best and we also saw Chitzen-itsa a few days before. The ruins are incredible to behold and the ride up there very fun, don't miss the structures right at the beginning to walk around as well they are amazing and show the culture of these ancient people.”
