★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 777 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $144Our pick

Ride a calm camel through jungle paths and white-sand dunes near Maroma Beach, then feed the animals and relax by the Caribbean. Guides such as Joseph, Bernard, Angel, and Alex may lead the outing, with English and Spanish commentary. Hotel transfers are offered, but photo packages and transport timing need close attention.

“This excursion had its ups and downs. We got picked up a little late but the ride there was just us so it was nice with no other stops to pick up other people. It was a little bit farther from our hotel than I would have liked but I could live with that. As soon as we got checked in we were ready to go. It was me, my wife, and one other person. The ride itself was so so for us. Riding a camel was unique but it felt a lot like riding a horse which I’ve done a lot. Being up that high in the beginning was…”

4.Discover Scuba Diving & Beach Club with Transportation In Riviera Maya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 239 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $150

Carlos, Alex, Juan, Ivan, and Ursula are among the instructors praised for calm, patient help. Equipment, insurance, beach access, and shared hotel transport are included. Minimum age is 10.

“My fiance and I booked the diving tour with them after reading so many great reviews about the people. And those reviews were right! I was VERY fearful about diving - everything from rolling backward into the water from the boat to not panicking under water to completing the training had me petrified.

Once I figured out how to not panic and breathe too deeply (I found closing my eyes made a difference to help slow down my breathing), I really enjoyed the dive.
