What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

    Der Guide Manuel hat im Vorhinein alles ausführlich erklärt, sowohl wo diversen Sachen zu finden sind, als auch was nicht erlaubt ist und natürlich auch über die Geschichte. Ich war positiv überrascht, dass wir regelmäßig Getränke zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen haben. Auch bin ich davon ausgegangen, da nur vom Mittagessen als inklusiv gesprochen wurde, dass das Frühstück, trotz der frühen Uhrzeit eine Selbstversorgung ist, aber auch hier gab es ein kleines Frühstück

    Unser Fahrer Miguel und der Reiseleiter Manuel waren super! Der Service im Bus und auch an den Besuchsorten war super! Die Anreise ist sehr lang, aber das wussten wir ja. Die frühe Ankunft ist perfekt!

    Die Orga war top. Von der Abholung am Hotel und auch wieder zurück war alles super organisiert. Eine sehr gute Mischung aus geführter Tour und auch eigenem erkunden. Verpflegung und Getränke waren super. Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: unser Guide war recht klein und unauffällig gekleidet, manchmal hat man ihm im Gedränge verloren. Ein blauer TUI Hut oder Shirt würde ihn schneller erkennbar machen.

    Reiseleiter hat sehr gut informiert. Busfahre gut gefahren. Sehr schön, dass er uns mit Kaltgetränken versorgt hat. Gut war auch der sehr frühe Start, so dass wir mit der Führung fast vor dem Ansturm fertig waren. Auch so in der Xenote.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Scopri l'importanza del ripristino della barriera corallina di Cancun

Esplora le meraviglie del sistema corallino mesoamericano in questo esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. In compagnia di specialisti marini, avrai l'opportunità unica di fare snorkeling, capire l'impatto che l'uomo ha sulla barriera corallina e osservare lo sbiancamento dei coralli. Assisterai anche a un discorso approfondito sulle misure attuabili per il ripristino della barriera corallina. Salpando quando le acque sono più calme, ti avventurerai verso due diverse barriere coralline, ciascuna colpita dallo sbiancamento dovuto al riscaldamento globale, all'inquinamento dell'acqua e alle microplastiche. Visita la barriera corallina conosciuta come "El Meco", che vanta i coralli più giovani, i quali la rendono un'attrazione particolarmente speciale. Le barche utilizzate per il tour sono certificate con la Bandiera Blu per il turismo sostenibile, che rende il tuo viaggio in linea con pratiche eco-consapevoli. Lungo il percorso, scoprirai anche la fauna locale e potrai concederti un delizioso pranzo a base di burrito. Il tour ti invoglierà a proteggere questi ecosistemi marini, che è l'obiettivo del progetto Pristine Seas sponsorizzato da National Geographic. Il progetto ha effettuato spedizioni al Banco Chinchorro, una parte significativa del sistema corallino mesoamericano. Questo lavoro sottolinea l'importanza di salvaguardare gli ambienti marini dall'influenza umana, proteggendo al contempo gli ultimi luoghi selvaggi dei nostri oceani. Partecipando a questo tour, apprenderai l'importanza vitale di preservare e proteggere il prezioso sistema corallino mesoamericano. Scopri di persona le meraviglie dell'oceano e acquisisci una profonda comprensione delle barriere coralline e del loro ruolo fondamentale nella biosfera.
