★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 798 reviews · 3 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Swim the Rio Secreto underground river near Playa del Carmen, see crystal cave formations, then enjoy a buffet lunch plus optional ruins trips.

“Our tour guide Ana was great! We went through the Cenote and also to the Tulum Mayan Ruins. 10 hour day but worth it. They give you all the gear you’ll need but their wetsuits are very worn out and don’t really work that great, and the water is pretty chilly but it’s still a great experience nonetheless.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 521 reviews · 3.5 - 6.5 hours · from $89

Rio Secreto cave and river tour near Playa del Carmen includes wetsuit gear, guided swim, and a light local lunch. Tickets $89.

“Overall Rio Secreto is an amazing experience! While there were some impressive geological formations, we didn't stop very often to gawk. it was more about the walking and swimming then kept you occupied. While Gustavo was an excellent guide, and we were impressed he remembered everyone's name, the pace of the tour seemed a bit rushed at times. Not knocking the guide as we noticed how frequent the tour groups were coming out. the buffet lunch was better than expected. I would add a minor note for those who might have balance or flexibility issues as there were a few places in the tour where it was a little tight…”

“getting to experience this natural miracle in a sustainable way was awesome. To be honest, I did not think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much as I did. Our guide was very knowledgeable, very kind, and she seemed to really enjoy her job. The view from Tulum was so incredible, but Rio Secreto was really special.”

4.Rio Secreto Plus: Classic Tour, Bycicle, Rappel & Ziplines

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 365 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Rio Secreto Plus from Playa del Carmen blends biking, zip lines, rappelling, and cave swimming plus lunch, with small-group guiding.

“Wonderful activity and unlike anything you’ve ever done before unless you were able to swim through a cave full of stalagmites! Only thing to know is if you’ve done zip lines you do not need to do the P lus tour as you do NOT rappel into the cave river. They changed it to a dry cave that’s far less exciting but did not update any photos. This feels deceiving and was disappointing.”

“De grotten zelf waren wel het leukste. Je moest echter wel in een rij lopen wat het exploreren element er wel uithaalde. Het voelde gehaast. Zipline en rapel zijn niet benoemd waard als je al eerder ergens iets in die richting heb gedaan of nog extremer. Fietsen was ook niet bijzonder.”
