Overview

Explore an underground river system and 2 cenotes at the same location. All the photos listed here you will see in person. You will be swimming through different cave rooms under stalactites and hanging tree roots for approximately 1,5 hours with a life jacket which allows you to float therefore you do not have to be a great swimmer. As it is possible to get lost if you are navigating on your own, this location requires a guide. After the cave rooms have been explored, you will be able to spend time on your own without a guide to swim and take photos. Be prepared to have the most surreal and otherworldly experience of your lifetime.

Itinerary

  • Cenotes Sac Actun

    We will be exploring a truly magical cenote that leads into a stunning underground river system. Unlike other cenotes that are jam-packed with tourists and large tour groups, we will be guiding you to a location that is less known and off the beaten path. With us as your guides we will show you a surreal scene of a sacred underground tree, like a picture straight out of a fairy tale, in real life. Then we will swim into an underground river filled with stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations that make you feel as if you are exploring another planet. Access to the underground river system is normally reserved for certified cave divers however we will be exploring an area that is not completely submerged under water making it possible to swim and wade without diving equipment or certification. Come with us and we will show you the best and most special underground river experience that the Yucatan Peninsula has to offer.

    3 hours

  • Chemuyil

    We are visiting a beautiful open cenote, like a natural pool in the jungle, full of fishes and amazing views, ideal for snorkeling and free diving. Life jackets are optional.

I would highly recommend this tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

Juan was great and so were the cenotes! We were lucky to book him super last minute via contacting him on WhatsApp. We were a group of 3 and never felt rushed during the “tour”, which really felt more like exploration. It felt super local and less touristy, so either we went to the less touristy cenotes, or got lucky with timing - probably both. The only thing I would recommend is that clients should bring a change of dry clothes for the car ride back because we were quite cold coming out of the last cenote. I would’ve enjoyed hearing about some history of the area on the car rides, but perhaps I just needed to ask. I would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful tour of amazing cenotes

Published on Nov, 2024

The best tour! We saw the most amazing cenotes and Eduardo was a great guide super friendly and took amazing pictures of us to keep as memories! 10/10 would recommend!

This really is likely the best tour, book it!

There are a dizzying number of tour guides, but who you go with matters. If you like to avoid crowds, go to hidden gems, travel with a knowledgeable guide who is fun to be around and takes care of the environment, this is the right tour. Some cenotes are parks. Commercialized, lots of people, highly developed property, etc. Similarly some tours will have a bus load of people. Those are just a completely different experience than this tour with Juan which goes to more secluded places with just your private group and I highly recommend it.

AMAZING!! 1,000% worth it!

We choose to tour because my mother and I had cisted a Cenote on a previous trip to Mexico. We loved the Cenote but we're not thrilled being with a bus load of other people. Especially when you don't know how those other people will act. On this trip I took my 7 yr old son with us. Juan picked us up at our hotel and from the moment he arrived i knew we were going to have a great time. Juan made us feel extremely comfortable on the car ride to the Cenote. Once at the first Cenote, he took us through the extensive cave system. You can tell he has done this many times. He knew where to go like the back of his hand. He interacted with my 7 yr old wonderfully. The 2nd Cenote is an open air Cenote. Juan took pictures of us jump off the cliff, swimming under water and suggested great places to take memorable photos during the whole trip. My son loved the whole thing ( the open air Cenote was his favorite. ) If you want a once in a lifetime experience, this is the only way to see the Cenotes. Thank you Juan for making our vacation extra special. Logan will never forget you he said.

Lots of fun

Ed was a great tour guide. Very bubbly and fun. He gave lots of reassurance to my daughter who was nervous about the caves and he got us lots of great pictures
