Things to do in Playa del Carmen

what a great half-day activity! It was fun and adventurous. We were concerned that everyone would be expert swimmers, but they were not, which made it even better because we didn’t feel out of place, we saw some turtles and stingrays granted they were baby stingrays lol and some cool fish. there was a rope to guide you. but honestly, my favorite part was the going to the Sante underground cause I had been totes before that were open, but this one was closed meaning you’re in a cave which was so cool, and I really enjoyed swimming through the cave and also we did see some bats, but there was like one or two at most and they were mostly tucked away not wanting to bother us and the water was so clear. I was surprised of how clear the water was and it was really refreshing. The guide and the driver and the photographer all did a great job working together. at the end, we had delicious empanadas with an amazing habanero sauce with a nice kick to it. a lot of fun overall and great value!

Luis was fantastic, he really made the tour great for me. Incredibly passionate about the history of Mayan, and his people. would highly recommend

It was definitely worth going. We told the guide beforehand that our family couldn't swim, so the guide arranged for staff to take us out to sea to see the sea turtles. We did see many sea turtles, but unfortunately, the water wasn't clear enough, so it was hard to see them distinctly. The Nohoch Nah Chich cenote was also very much worth visiting; the water was incredibly clear, but also incredibly cold. A guide took us swimming inside and provided explanations, and we saw many bats that don't suck blood. The buffet lunch wasn't very good. The Tulum Mayan archaeological site was relatively boring; the children couldn't stand the heat and weren't interested in looking closely.
