What to expect

If you’ve been researching some cenotes to visit in Tulum, Mexico, chances are that you’ve been told to visit Cenote Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote. While stunningly beautiful, these famous cenotes can tend to be crowded. If you want to skip the crowds, this full-day adventure is for you!

First, you’ll visit the quaint town of Yalcoba before heading to the first cenote, Cenote Xcanahaltun. This natural swimming hole with its crystalline stalagmites and stalactites makes for a scenic view, along with the cenote’s gleaming turquoise waters. Enjoy some free time to swim, snorkel and paddle around in the cool waters.

Cenote Sac Aua is notable for being one of the only cenotes with an island in the middle. This was said to have been caused thousands of years ago when the roof of the cenote collapsed and formed the island. Swim around and marvel at the beauty of nature before visiting the last cenote of the day.

Cenote Zazil Tunich is one of the largest cave cenotes, said to house stone formations more than 500 thousand years old. You’ll tour the ‘Mayan Underworld’ and learn about Mayan mythology, the legend of Xibalba and more. After the cave tour, you’ll feast on a local Yucatecan lunch before making your way back to your hotel.
