OUR STORY · PLAYA DEL CARMEN

Meet VivaOhlala, your local team in Mexico

A good excursion starts with a conversation: where you are staying, what you are curious about and who is coming with you. From Playa del Carmen, Simon and the VivaOhlala team help turn those details into days worth making time for.

Simon: a traveler who made Mexico home

French-born and based in Playa del Carmen, Simon explored more than 70 countries over roughly a decade of travel before building VivaOhlala. The agency grew from a wish to share Mexico through its landscapes, history and local encounters.

Today, he helps travelers compare excursions and coordinates bookings with local guides and service partners. That means a direct point of contact before your day begins, with attention to the practical questions that shape a trip.

French roots, private experiences in English

VivaOhlala first developed around French-speaking travelers. Our English-language offer focuses on private excursions with English-speaking guides: Maya archaeological sites, cenotes, coastal reserves, islands and freshwater lagoons.

The local team helps you understand what each day involves. We consider your dates, hotel location, group size and activity preferences instead of treating every itinerary as the right fit for every traveler.
