          This is the company to book with!
          This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. Alex and the rest of the crew were fantastic. Everything went smoothly and we saw many whale sharks, despite it being the end of the season. I would absolutely recommend this tour and we will be using them again in the future! Thank you for such a memorable day. We will never forget it!

          Best Tour 10/10
          This was truly an amazing tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable with good energy. The Tulum ruins were beautiful, the reef snorkeling was so fun, we got to see a lot of colorful fish, turtles and stingrays. The cenote was probably my the favorite part, it was a walk through one, went in the through one end and got out of the other end. We all felt so calm and at peace after the cenote. After we had authentic tacos, they tasted so good. The tour was a 10 out of 10, highly recommend.

          Outstanding whale shark experience
          Outstanding experience with Ocean Tours. We were picked up in a comfortable van with snacks and drinks for the ride to Cancun. Our guide was a French Canadian who did a fantastic job explaining the habits of the whale sharks and the strategy for getting the best look at them. The boat was really fast and the driver was very experienced and was able to put us in the water at just the right spot. We opted for the video which looks so cool and is fun to show off to friends. After the whale sharks, they took us for coral snorkeling and then a tasty ceviche lunch with beer. After the trip, I realized that I had left my phone on the boat. The company acted immediately, found my phone, and returned it the next day. I could not ask for a better experience.

          Fantastic and a must do!! One of my favourite days in Cancun. Amazing team- Xenia and Marek were awesome- friendly and genuine! From the moment we got picked up to the moment we got dropped off we were well looked after. Isla Contoy is gorgeous- a truly wonderful island. Once in a lifetime moment 😍

          Amazing day swimming with the whale sharks!
          We had an amazing day out with our fantastic guide, Luisa! My husband was eager to swim with the whale sharks while I went along for the day (I am not very confident in the water). From pick up at our hotel, through a day full of activities and our return at the end of the day, we felt totally looked after and accommodated. Luisa was very knowledgeable and engaging, George, our bus driver was excellent, and the boat team were amazing. They made the most delicious sea picnic for us while we enjoyed the shallow waters of Isla Mujeres. Swimming with the whale sharks was definitely a bucket list item (for hubby at least) and the whole day out was just wonderful.

          The trip was awesome! We spent our 20yr anniversary day with a great group of travelers from all over the world. Ruben our guide was the best! Was impressed with his fluency between different languages English, German and Spanish made everyone feel comfortable and kept the group laughing. Definitely recommend! Pictures taken by Tony were also the best and well worth it for memories

          unforgettable!
          This tour was an incredible experience! Our guide Santiago, our photographer Rod, and our driver Manuel made a great team. We started the morning snorkeling with turtles and ended it with an incredible swim in a cenote. The photos taken by Rod were amazing and without a doubt worth buying the photo package. Our guide Santiago was knowledgeable, accommodating and an absolute pleasure to be around. He made sure the whole group had everything they needed, and ensured everyone was safe and enjoying themselves. Santiago, Rod and Manuel made the experience even better than it already was! We are excited to book another tour on our next visit to Cancun!

          Unforgettable adventure! Swimming with turtles. Exploring a cenote cave with bats
          This trip was incredible! It was our second time with Ocean Tours and just like the first time we had fun to the maximum. Our guide Daniel was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. We got to swim in the ocean and see marine wild life such as turtles, sting rays, tropical fish, crabs from really close. The cenote visit was also very enjoyable. Our photographer took awesome pictures of high quality. At the end, we got to enjoy some local delicious food at lunch. Very recommendable adventure for young and old!

          It was really amazing snorkeling with whale sharks. Juan and team were really helpful - we hadn’t snorkeled much before. We just knew swimming. Juan & Ricki helped us calm down and get into the waters

          Great Tulum experience!
          Raul and Ocean Tours Mexico was a great experience for us! Raul gave rich history, spoke at least four languages so able to keep everyone aware and engaged. He was very observant and could tell when some of us needed help with snorkeling or a little rest in the water. He kept us on time to each location so we could take part in the full experience. It was amazing! And even more so because of Raul! Shout outs to Ruben and Max as well.

        It was a full day but well worth the drive from Cancun to Tulum. The tour of the ruins was informative and interesting. The snorkeling with the turtles did not disappoint. My wife is terrified of swimming in the ocean so she spent that time relaxing on the beach while I swam with sting rays and turtles and fish. Our guide, Alma, was a very good instructor for new snorkelers and so much fun. After the snorkel trip our driver, Antonio, managed to get us to the cenote with no issues even though there were tons of large trucks on our route due to construction. Once we arrived Alma again cheerfully explained where we were and what we would be doing. It was beautiful and fun. Lunch after was very good. The photographer that was on the trip with us took amazing pics and the price was very good. There was no heavy armed sales. A great day all around.

        Literally, this is the best tour! Our tour guide, Miguel, was amazing. Our first stop at the ruins, it was abundantly clear that we had the best guide. There were other guides with different groups who were informative but honestly didn't seem as invested or knowledgeable as Miguel. He had a binder with photos and artwork to enhance all the historical significance of the Mayan Ruins. He even drew in the sand! He has lived there for 35 years and you can tell he had pride in what he was talking about. Our driver, "Cheeks", was very attentive to us as well. Handed us snacks and drinks and gear throughout the excursion and was so kind. Everything was explained in detailed and our group knew exactly what was expected. This tour also includes lunch!

        There was also a photographer who was with us the entire tour; I am so glad he took photos. Usually, I never purchase photos from the tours because they are expensive and well, cheesy. I always feel like I took them better. Let me tell you, Esteban was talented! He really has an eye and took beautiful artistic photos and captured our group so well. Overall, 10 out of 10 for this tour. You MUST book this, it is better than the description and will make your vacation well worth it!

        We enjoyed our day trip. Snorkeling and the cenote exceeded our expectations. Sofia was very personable and knowledgeable. The van had limited leg room and was uncomfortable in the back seat. It would have been helpful to know in advance that you could not bring plastic water bottles into Tulum and to have reef sensitive sunscreen. The professional photographer was good but the photo package offered was over priced at $72 USD.

        I'm glad to hear that overall, you enjoyed your day trip and that snorkeling and the cenote exceeded your expectations. Sofia sounds like she was a fantastic guide, with her personable nature and wealth of knowledge enhancing your experience.It's unfortunate to hear about the limited legroom and discomfort in the back seat of the van. Providing feedback like this to the tour company can help them improve their services and ensure a more comfortable experience for future travelers. Regarding the information about plastic water bottles and reef-sensitive sunscreen, it's indeed helpful for tour companies to provide such details in advance to better prepare travelers for their trip and avoid any inconveniences.Lastly, I understand your feedback about the photo package being overpriced. This is valuable information for the tour company to consider when pricing their offerings in the future. Laura OCEAN TOURS

        JP was a great tour guide and host. His instructions and knowledge of the trip was impressive. His crew was top notch and right on time with scheduled pick up to drop off. The 3 in 1 trip was well worth the price. JP leading us thru the cenote was the culmination of great excursion from Tulum to the snorkeling to the cenote deep in the jungle. The road thru the jungle was very adventurous. Thanks JP and crew for a wonderful day. The family loved it.

        Hamlet, Johnny, Urieel, and Luis were phenomenal! We elected to do the private 3-in-1 Discovery Combo Tour that took us to the Tulum Ruins, snorkeling, and a cenote. Hamlet and the crew were immensely helpful. Our daughter loves all animals but has a fear of deeper water; Hamlet helped calm her fears, and she was brave enough to come along and see the animals she loves in the wild. We have been to Mexico several times and taken other excursions in the past, but nothing compares to our experience this time around. Gracias and "BALAM BALAM!"

        I was referred to Oceans Tour by someone at my hotel. I went on the 3 in 1 tour of the ancient ruins, cenote, and snorkeling. I was traveling alone and ocean tours paired me with the nicest family. All transportation was included. Also included was a buffet styles lunch that was delicious! Our tour guide Rafael was super knowledgeable on the ancient ruins and made the entire day fun. Also I can’t swim like at all 😳and Rafael made sure I was able to enjoy the snorkeling and cenote! Everyone made me feel super comfortable and safe while I was scared out of my mind in the ocean. Honestly the highlight of my trip was this tour!!!!! And special thanks to the photographer who made it possible to catch all these moments. Did I mention that the entire price was beyond reasonable. Book with these guys and ask for Rafael and Tony Stark!!!!!!!!!

        We booked a private tour as we didn’t want a coach full of people. Mariano, Jesus and Jimena were our tour guide, driver and photographer and I cannot recommend them enough!
        We really enjoyed the amount of information we gained at each site we visited and how he would give us something similar to something we would have seen or known about to explain the history.
        The snorkelling was amazing ! Not only did we see 4 sea turtles, 2 sting rays, 2 squids and tons of fishes we got some amazing pictures also so we could just enjoy the experience. (Highly recommended getting pictures done by her she was so nice and they looked amazing !)
        When we arrived at the cenote it was truly breathtaking, I utterly enjoyed learning how they are formed, but also what happens if someone finds on.
        Overall I would highly recommend these guys we felt safe and well informed from the moment we got into the vehicle, we could ask any questions even those not related to the tour we was going on which was nice to know a little bit about Mexico. Can’t wait to book again !

        If you’re coming to Tulum this tour is a must!! Our guide Ariann was wonderful, incredibly knowledgeable, absolutely brought the energy, and had us learning, laughing and smiling the whole time. This was my second time doing a tour of the Tulum ruins and honestly I might as well have not even gone the first time. Ariann is a fantastic story teller that took us through what life was like for the Mayan people that used to live in the ruins, what their beliefs were, how the buildings were constructed and much more. We had a great time snorkeling and saw 2 turtles and a stingray. Finishing it off at the cenote with a tasty lunch of tacos, rice, beans and veg. My partner went back for seconds and thirds it was so good!

        Our photographer Danny was taking photos of our group all day and put everything into a slideshow complete with music at the end of our tour. We were blown away at the quality of the photos and happily bought the package, it’s some of if not the best photos we have of our trip and I’m so grateful he was there!

        Our driver Tony kept us and our belongings safe whether in the city of Tulum or taking us down jungle roads on the way to the cenote. He also had very cool shoes. 10/10

        Thank you all for giving us such a fun day! Will definitely book again next time we come visit :)

        P.S. the photos included is not from our photographer but taken on my iphone

        Wow! We were a group of 20 and we were blown away by this tour! Cesar and Juan were the ultimate tour guides. Both were extremely knowledgeable, attentive and had the best personalities! We visited 2 Cenotes and the Ruins and they were very patient and we never felt rushed. They made sure we always had water and were comfortable.
        From the planning of the this tour months ago, Geraldine was super helpful in giving ideas for our group, her communication was timely and also very knowledgeable. She made the entire process seemless.
        We will be using Ocean Tours each and every time we visit, I would highly recommend!
