Mexico · CENOTE TRIPS IN THE RIVIERA MAYA
Good cenote trips in the Riviera Maya fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Guided Tulum ruins and two cenotes (Mariposa and Chen-Ha). Air-conditioned transport, skip ticket line, swim time in clear water.
“The guide who spoke the most, Carlos Moo, was fantastic - he shared lots of great info about Mayan culture and history and about the area, giving us a good overview and context for what we were seeing at the Tulum ruins and at the modern Mayan village & cenotes.”
Cancun jungle adventure with an ATV ride, 3-zipline canopy circuit, and cenote swim, plus tacos and a tequila tasting in about 4 hours.
“Our driver Oscar was amazing . So friendly, nice and very funny . His van was spotless and it smelled really good inside . He has it decorated which added a nice touch. He said his name was Oscar de la Hoya which I thought was really funny . Our guide was Alan and he treated us very good . We spent a good time doing each activity . I personally loved the tequila tasting and cenote . The lady from the tasting was so energetic. I loved the experience so much more because of her . I wish I remembered her name . She had red hair and very…”
Air-conditioned Tulum ruins tour plus Cenote Mariposa and Chen-Ha swim, guided history, and guided photo time by the sea.
“Solid, reliable service. The guides were great- we were in good hands throughout our day with them. Strong value for the price; we were able to focus on Tulum & the cenotes, they took care of the rest!”
Swim Tulum cenotes and Akumal sea turtles from Riviera Maya on an 8-hour guided day with Tulum ruins, lunch, and round-trip transport.
“Très belle journée, pourtant réservée seulement la veille. Très bon guide et belles activités”
Tulum small-group day trip to Coba ruins, Punta Laguna monkey reserve, Mayan meal, and Cenote Esmeralda swim, with optional zipline.
“This tour came recommended from a friend who did it 3 years ago and it remains impressive today! We had an awesome guide Cesar, who was super energised to tell us all about the history of the area and obviously has deep respect for the land and culture of the region. The pace of the tour was good, with a great array of things to see and do including history, nature and activities. A highlight was seeing wild monkeys and learning about the Yucatan area and Mayan civilisation. Would gladly recommend this tour for years to come :) thanks to Cesar and the team.”
Full day from Riviera Maya to Tulum ruins, Canamayte purification, Cenote Mariposa swim, Coba pyramids, Mayan lunch and demo.
“Nice sites, surprisingly good lunch, amazing cenote with no extra extortion of money for lockers and life vests. I would however not book through this company again because of the organizational nightmare that is the transportation in the morning. I booked because it had a pick up (important to me because of a recent knee injury) but still had to walk to a random faraway resort and then go through what must have been close to 3 hours of changing busses, vans, standing still besides the road without any communication before actually arriving at Tulum. Another super negativ point is that the tour is in spanish and english and the…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
