  • Our Mexico vlog is here! We spent 8 days in Quintana Roo, exploring the cenotes around Tulum, Mayan ruins, Cancun's beaches and eating alllll the tacos.
    We’ve had a lot of questions so far about our family holiday to Tulum, particularly because the sargassum seaweed issue down the Mayan riviera is making many beaches unswimmable right now. 😢 It’s a real shame, but even more so for the sea life trying to survive in seaweed that thick!
    We give an honest look at the conditions in this vlog and take you along for the ride as we explore clearer beaches further north in Cancun, lots of cenotes (which you guys know we fell in love with), swim with turtles 🐢, and explore Mayan ruins like Cobá (pictured above), climbing with Leo strapped on Eric’s back... if you were wondering how we climbed Cobá with Leo, this will give you lots of insight!
    We 🧡 Mexico, and if you watch this video, you'll see why.
    Hitchhike along for the ride with us!

    If you don’t want any seaweed, then I suggest you visit Tulum from September-May. The summer is when all the seaweed comes in. Normally the water is crystal clear and turquoise blue.

    The seaweed is toxic to the skin also. So so glad I was there in the early 90s when Tulum was so beautiful. So sad

    Akumal is still good for swimming and just outside of Tulum

      Akumal public beach has had so much sargassum seaweed, piled almost waist high some days on the shoreline... maybe you're talking about the private beaches around Akumal?

      The transition from pool to Cenote goes into a small one called Cenote Carwash

      It literally says "Our family vacation" in the title. I'm not sure how you felt this was 'not as titled'?

      @@DareListFamily I'm sorry. The title above does say is.it worth it. Seaweed update. Maybe it was the search engine. Wish you.could have seen it in 1990's it was pristine. No people. Bungalows for $35 a day or less. There were six places to stay on 65 miles of beach. All gone. I did enjoy the family video!

    how did you stay there and not be scared about the gangs and ugliness of rumours of people being murdered etc. I am scared to travel to places like Mexico or Jamaica, with no friends or family for protection..you guys are brave!

      There are some parts of Mexico that are unsafe, but the well-touristed areas like Cancun and Tulum are generally safe. We never felt unsafe at all.

      We took our own car seat since it's free to take on the airlines. We prefer using our own seat where we can for safety!

      Thanks Daniel, so glad you enjoyed it! It's our first video in 6 months, and even though some of those underwater sequences aren't perfect (multitasking to make sure our kid doesn't sink! haha) we're pretty happy with it. :)
