The bus picked us up in front of the hotel at the exact time. The bus had restrooms and usb charging. We went to 2 different beaches (isla pasion and punta mosquito). We had lunch on the boat. We had cold juice , water and beers several times during the day. We had the choice between 2 free hours in Holbox or following the guide. We ended up with the cenote Yalahau. It was a good well organized day.

This was an amazing experience! . The vibe was great. The host had us play games and before the night was over we all became friends. Food was just there. It was majorly the energy for me. Would recommend for a night of fun

The trip was very well organized. The guides were very nice and responded to individual requests. Tulum is beautiful and absolutely worth seeing.
