Join us on the Private Pet cemetery Cenote Tour! This Cenote is one of the best cenotes in the area of Tulum. It is part of the Sac Actun (White Cave in mayan language) underground river, the biggest cave system of 215 miles. It is located far away in the jungle, almost 4 miles from the highway.
Sac Actun – Pet Cemetery cenote witnessed the evolution of the Yucatan for centuries. Today, there are still evidences of extinct animals in the cave. The cenote is opened for swimmers and snorkelers, but only scuba divers can see the bones of prehistoric animals located in this cave! Now you understand where its name comes from!
Pet cemetery cenote is a must go for snorkelers. The cenote is so amazing, it is one of the most decorated cenote with many stalactites, stalagmites. To visit the Pet Cemetery, it is mandatory to go with a guide. The cave is so big and gets very dark that you could get lost if you would go on your own.
Pet cemetery cenote is located between Playa Del Playa and Tulum. The trip is about 45 minutes from Playa Del Carmen, or 30 minutes from Tulum Beach hotel zone. Therefore your private guide will pick you up early at your hotel to make sure you arrive before crowds. After a few miles in the jungle, your private van will reach the cenote area.
Once fully equipped, you will enter the cenote thanks to a suitable platform and stairs. Entrance and swimming are easy. In fact the cenote is quite shallow for swimming, adults and children can enjoy the experience. For sure, you will have an exhilarating and memorable experience.
The trip ends by a lunch included in the tour price. We bring you to a traditional Mexican restaurant in the jungle. The Mayan owners will prepare you their local cuisine while you discuss your snorkeling adventure with your friends and family.
Our team makes sure you get the best cenote experience! Our professional guides are certified and perfectly fluent in English. They accompany you throughout the day and guide you in the caves. Your snorkeling skills and experience are taken into consideration to make sure you enjoy an exciting, fun and safe trip. Though you need to know how to swim, the activity is ideal for snorkelers with various skill and experience levels.

Cris and Ro were amazing! Great experience and tour!
Dustin –
Great people to have for a guide. She was great. Chris and Ro. Was an incredible experience and would recommend this to many who want to swim in caves.
Claire –
I had the most incredible experience with Cristina and Rodrigo for a cenote tour in Tulum. I have been wanting to go to a cenote for nearly a decade, and I’m so glad I booked with Absolute. Cristina was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly — and an expert with our 9-person group. The cenote was surreal, and I cannot recommend Cristina, Rodrigo, and Absolute Adventure more. Muchas gracias!

Sac AtĂşn Private Tour
Our group of nine was picked up on time at 9am at our Airbnb by our wonderful driver Rodrigo and our vivacious and knowledgeable guide Christina. The van was equipped with cervezas (at an additional charge available at time of booking), water, soda, juice, and napkins. We drove 40 minutes from the hotel district area in Tulum, 10 minutes on a well maintained dirt road. Life vests, snorkeling equipment and a flashlight were provided. The cenote water was cool. Most of our group was comfortable in a swimsuit. I elected to wear a wetsuit (also provided) and was very happy with my decision. My boyfriend was in a swimsuit and got a little cold at the end of the swim. The cave was full of the cutest fruit bats and we had plenty of opportunities to view them up close! It was one of the highlights of the tour for me. This tour was spectacular, unique, and stunningly beautiful! Christina is passionate about what she does and is a truly wonderful person who speaks English fluently. She is also an excellent photographer!!! We spent around two hours in the water and loved every minute! We only saw one other group the entire time we were there. After the tour we went to Juanita’s Restaurant for lunch, where food was included and drinks were available for purchase. If you have the time do not hesitate to book this! The highlight of our trip so far <3
Emmanuel –
Amazing!!!
Cristina and Rodrigo were fantastic! They took us to beautiful Cenote that had no crowds at all. Cristina is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Cenotes and it makes for a fantastic experience. I would come back in a heartbeat!
Sandy –
The most fabulous excursion. beyond our expectations. Christina our guide was extremely informative and so very fun. we spent almost 2 hours in the pet cemetery cenotoe. Includes a nice lunch. Rodrigo was a safe and very friendly driver. Don’t miss this particular cenotoe and tour group. Highly recommended.

No reason to be scared of Pet Cemetery Cenote
Wow what a great tour and Tour Guide (Juan, possibly the best guide ever!) We took advice and went early and we had private transportation and the Tour Guide was with us so boom the tour started right then at 8:30am. Local information, well informed and super attentive. There wasn’t anyone at the Cenote, we were allowed to take our time, very informative an beautiful. I can’t imagine Pet Cemetery Cenote being any better. Lunch afterward was also very very good.
PJ –
We really enjoyed this tour and loved Alex! He made the tour amazing and we are so thankful he was our guide. From pick up to the the cenote to the restaurant we went to, it was all perfect!
Jeff –
Arturo’s guiding us in the pet Cemetery adventure was awesome! Such a great trip. Highly recommended!!
Sofia –
Amazing experience! Highly recommend to all.
Victoria –
Had a blast exploring the Pet Cemetery Cenoté with Juan! He was such a fun guide and made this excursion so much fun! Super knowledgeable, funny, and gave us plenty of time for photo ops and exploring! Also, shout out to Enrique for being a great, nice, and safe driver during our trip! Would 100% book again!
MG –
Arturo was great! I’ve used this company before for a cenote tour and scheduled them for Sac Actun. Once again, the company was fantastic. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend them!
Michelle –
Wonderful experience! Arturo and Carlos did an amazing job getting us to the most beautiful cenote. Arturo provided a lot of education and history lessons along the way and is clearly very well traveled and knowledgeable about many things.
I would absolutely recommend this tour and I will be back to plan another tour with this company again. I come often so I’m excited to have found them!
Olivier –
Magical swimming experience
We went for a tour in a Cenote with Arturo, our guide, who was a very charming and friendly person.
The Pet Cemetery Cenote was just a magical experience, swimming in a maze like cave system, leading to spectacular “rooms” with draperies, stalactites and stalagmites.
Arturo brought us to some surreal locations with no daylight at all.
The organization was impeccable.
Jon –
Amazing Day at Pet Cemetery Cave Snorkeling with Kids. We spent an amazing day with Arturo and Joshua as our guides through Pet Cemetery/Sac Actun. The cenote was far more beautiful and amazing than the online pictures show – the best of the four cenotes we visited while in Tulum. Arturo was wonderful with our boys (13 and 9), the youngest of which wasn’t thrilled by the idea of cave snorkeling. But Arturo took time with him and made him feel so comfortable – our youngest ended up loving every minute of the tour. We were so happy Arturo and Joshua (who was training to be a guide and will also be amazing) joined us so we could learn more about them, the company, and the area.
We couldn’t recommend this company or our tour guides any more. We did three tours with Absolute Adventure while in Tulum and loved all three – each was well worth the time and money. From Rodrigo our driver, to our tour guides, and all the way through to Claire and Cyrille the owners – this is the company to use! Stop your search!
Kelly –
The Most Incredible Day! Do not Hesitate to book with Absolute Adventure Mexico.
Victoria –
Amazing day with Juan to Pet cemetery today. It was just amazing. highly recommend.
Bill –
Hector, our guide, and Willie, our driver were so kind to us. And Hector was a fountain of knowledge, not just about cenotes, but also about Mayan/Mexican history and a bunch of other random things we had questions about.
We chose Sac Actun (Pet Cemetery) cenote. Sac Actun was breathtaking (the pictures online don’t even do it justice), and the cave system was big enough that any other visitors were barely noticeable. Lots of bats among the stalactites, and crystal clear blue water.
bkck –
Wonderful experience! Chris was an excellent guide. Would recommend this tour. Went to Pet Cemetery senote, which was breath taking. We stopped and ate at a small restaurant. The food was fantastic. Thank you Chris!
