Swimming with the turtles at Akumal is one of the most popular things to do for tourists to the Riviera Maya. Located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, this is an easy day trip from any of the major resorts or anywhere near the Cancun Hotel Zone. This really is a can't miss attraction for snorkeling enthusiasts.
For us, this was one of the final things we did before leaving the Riviera Maya. It turned out we should have visited much sooner. This was one of the best things we did during our visit to the Riviera Maya. Sometimes it is best to save the best for last. We were not disappointed as this was one of the most unforgettable experiences. We were glad to finally knock this off the bucket list.
