AVIS ABSOLUTE ADVENTURE MEXICO

Amazing trip! So happy I had found out about Absolute Adventure by reading Trip Advisor!!! Kids age 19 and 22 (guess not kids anymore) loved the private tours and the entire experience!!! Spent two days with Claire and would highly recommend. Prior to our trip Claire answered all our questions in a timely fashion (via e-mail) and was so patient with all my questions as I tried to understand the options available. Prior to arriving, Claire was nice enough to let me know that the turtle tour would probably not be available because of the weather (the beaches were closed) and worked with me to plan an alternative trip. First to the Mayan ruins at Talum-private tour, unique delicious Mayan lunch and then the very private tour through an amazing Cenote- while snorkling - with no crowds! Second day drove to Coba ruins-private tour, bike tour, another native delicious lunch and an amazing Cenote-hike and snorkle. Although woke up very early both days, both our kids never complained because they saw the benefit of arriving early (per Claire's recommendations) and loved the adventure, beauty and unique experience. This is a must tour!

During my family's recent trip to Cozumel, we wanted to take a day to visit the Mayan ruins at Talum, and Absolute Adventure Mexico delivered above and beyond our expectations! They met us at the ferry port in Playa deal Carmen, first thing in the morning and made sure we had a chance to get coffee (we were on a very early ferry at their suggestion to insure we made it to the ruins before they got too crowded) on the way to Talum. Once there, our guide Claire handled all the logistical needs of getting tickets, etc. and arranged for a speciality guide for the ruins to explain the history and Mayan architecture. Once that part was over, she demonstrated her own high level of knowledge showing us additional sites and answering our questions about the solstice, and the area.

Recently traveled to Playa del Carmen in December 2015 and booked a trip though Claire to scuba dive in Chak Mool cenote. I dove with my 13 year old son. Chris was our guide. Had a great day with Chris. Very knowledgeable, fun guide. My son and I really enjoyed diving in the cenote. The formations inside and the affects of the sunlight shining in through the opening into the cenote was amazing. Look forward to returning and doing another adventure with them. Chris took us out for lunch afterward to a great little local taco place with the best coconut fish and shrimp tacos. Thanks for a great adventure!!!

I recently traveled to Riviera Maya with my family of 4 as well as my brother's family of 4. One of the highlights of our trip was our day spent touring Tulum and snorkeling in a cenote. We had children ranging from 6-13 and all had a wonderful day. Chris, our guide, was fun, knowledgeable, and always working to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. Our lunch in the jungle was wonderful too! Thank you for a great experience through and through!

Just returned from Mexico having taken two tours with Claire. Both tours were excellent in all respects. Very relaxed but tailored to our needs as a family. All arrangements and communication were excellent. Drinks and snacks provided on the van were very welcome, and the inclusive lunches at local restaurants were very good. You also get a private tour guide at each site (Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum), all of whom were excellent. Definitely book with Claire, before you go to Mexico, as she is likely to be booked up in advance!

Had a great time with Chris on our recent adventure to Tulum, Cenote and turtle snorkeling trip on 11/30/2015. We were a party of 2 adults and 3 kids and had little to no snorkeling experience. Chris made us feel at ease and was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about the area and culture. Had a wonderful lunch at a local Mexican restaurant. This was the highlight on our Mexican vacation. We will definitely be back and would recommend using Absolute Adventure Mexico.

Before we left for Mexico we worked with Chris and Claire to set up a customized trip for our extended family of 9. We chose to snorkel with the turtles and visit two cenotes. The were very responsive and it was easy to set up. Chris and the driver, Alan picked us up at our resort at 8am. This got us to Akumal before it got crowded and we were swimming with the turtles in no time. I'm glad we got a chance to do this because it was a very unique experience. I have snorkeled in a lot of different places in the Caribbean, but never with turtles like this.

We snorkled in a bay with green turtles and Chris was wonderful, patient with our group of all levels of experience. Then on to the cenotes, which was definitely a highlight!! Crystal clear water, formations overhead and bats hunkered down or ting around!! It was awesome!! So fun and Chris added his humor, knowledge and even with some more tentative in our group he made everyone feel comfortable and safe.

I'm so glad that we were able to book this excursion last minute! We did the Tulum tour, cenote snorkel, and sea turtle snorkel trip. Claire responded very quickly to my inquiry and was extremely professional and knowledgeable. There was a mix of beginners and experienced "tourists" in our group of 5 and everyone was really impressed with our day of activities. My husband and I had previously toured Tulum with with a large group several years ago, and we were less than impressed with our previous experience- this time it was the exact opposite! With this your we were one of the first people to enter Tulum which allowed for an almost private tour, the same can be said for the cenote swim. We only encountered one other group of snorkelers the entire hour that we were in the water, IT WAS AMAZING!! After swimming in the cenote we ate a delicious lunch at a Mayan restaurant, before heading to Akumal to swim with the turtles. We were able to see several sting rays and turtles and even even a very large starfish. Overall it was a fantastic day!! I will definitely use this company again next time I'm in Playa!

My sister and our husbands vacationed in Playa for our 25th wedding anniversary. We used Absolute Adventure and snorkeled with the turtles and in a cenote. The turtles were beautiful and much larger than we expected! Unfortunately, they aren't in an area that is very pretty, so you're really seeing only turtles, not many other fish or coral. The cenote snorkel trip was amazing!!! Claire pointed out so many interesting parts of it and including lots of bats! The water is cold so you'll need to use the wet suit they offer you! Such a cool experience. Afterwards, we went and had lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Very good food! We definitely recommend Absolute Adventure!!!

My wife and I recently visited Mexico for the second time. Last year, we didn't leave the hotel (too much sunbathing and cocktails!), so we wanted to see some of the areas of interest. Originally we wanted to swim with dolphins, so we looked into visiting a dolphinarium or Xel-Ha. However, after reading a lot online about how dolphins and other marine life are being kept in captivity for the purpose of entertaining tourists (this happens worldwide not just in Mexico), we decided to skip this kind of thing. I began looking for a local company (we stayed at Ocean Maya Royale so close to Playa Del Carmen) that could help us visit some historical sites, as well as provide the chance to see some marine life in the wild.

Toured chichen itza, cenotes x 2, restaurant in valladolid. All day affair that was awesome. Ruins amazing cenotes very cool, meal excellent. Absolutely worth it. Comfortable van. No big douchey tour bus. Jose at chichen extremely knowledgeable. Arturo also super smart, friendly and fun. Ervin drove and was great. Booking etc all a breeze. All in all worth it.

We did the trip to Coba and swimming in a cenote which was a really great combination of culture and nature. Off to Coba first which is an amazingly impressive site. Our guide Claire who was with us all day took a local guide, Pedro, when we got there which meant that we got the maximum information about the complex. We explored the excavated areas near the entrance first and then took a tricycle ride to the large 'pyramid' where we climbed to the top. It really is a place you could go back to time after time as more is excavated and put on public display. Then off to the cenote for a swim. The one Claire chose was quite far off the main road but that meant that in the whole cave there was only ourselves an one other small party of people. The rock formations were stunning and it was great having the bats flying around us too. We ended with a late lunch of real Mexican food which was well earned and delicious. I can't recommend the experience highly enough

We booked multiple activities with Absolute Adventure Mexico. We started with diving in the Cenotes. My husband is a very experienced diver but this was out of my comfort zone at first. Chris was fantastic and patient with me and once we were down there is was an incredible experience. We Then spent a couple of days diving in Akumal and then Cozumel. Claire is fantastic to dive with. Our dives were comfortable and at a pace that allowed us to really enjoy the dive and not feel rushed to get it over with. We then planned a trip to snorkel with the whale sharks. We had other family members that wanted to come with us so they were able to change our plans with short notice to accommodate a group of 15 instead of 2. Claire and Chirs gave us a very private family experience that was unforgettable. We brought our own dive gear and they were able to take care of it in between trips so that we did not have to keep hauling it back and forth to the hotel. This has been my favorite diving experience thus far. We will be returning to dive with Absolute Adventure Mexico in the near future.

We found this private tour company through its stellar reviews on Trip Advisor. I corresponded with Claire - who co-owns the company with her business partner Christ - via email several times. She was very responsive and answered all of our questions. There were four in our group: my wife and I are 38, and our two boys are 11 and almost 6.

My family of 4. (mom, dad, & sons 13&9 years old) visited Playa del Carmen. I was looking for a exclusion in the area. I came across AAM on trip advisor. I contacted them via their website. Claire got back to me same day with questions such as: ages, 1/2 or full day, and the basics of what we were looking for. She helped me pick our adventure of ATVing, Zip lining, and going into a Cenote. She helped me pick the date based on ours and their availability. About a week before our trip Claire emailed and confirmed everything. Day before the excursion Caire contacted me to ask if we could go a half hour earlier so we could beat the rush.
