If you’re into nature, then this is undoubtedly one of the must-do things to do when visiting Tulum. Each year from May to October, most of the coastline experiences sea turtle nesting season.

If you want a more hands-on sea turtle experience, day trip to Akumal, where you can snorkel with these magnificent creatures.
