Between Puerto Aventuras and Tulum, Akumal, whose name means 'place of the turtles' in Maya, is famous for one experience above all: snorkeling alongside sea turtles in the calm waters of Akumal Bay. It's about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes from Cancun International Airport, and our private Cancun airport to Akumal transportation takes you directly to your hotel or rental, with no shared shuttle stops on the long drive.
Beyond the bay, Yal-Kú Lagoon offers easy snorkeling where fresh and salt water meet, and nearby cenotes invite you to swim in crystal-clear underground pools. Accommodations range from boutique hotels and beachfront villas to all-inclusive resorts.
Akumal is also a great base for exploring the southern Riviera Maya. Xel-Há Park is just minutes away, and the Mayan ruins of Tulum are about a 25-minute drive.
