If you love snorkeling, our Cenotes private tour should be on top of your bucket list for your holidays in the Riviera Maya. Are you ready for an unique experience?
Some of the most fascinating natural wonders of the Riviera Maya are its cenotes, beautiful underground caverns formed by rainwater eroding limestone over centuries. Since there are so few rivers and lakes throughout the Yucatán Peninsula, these sources of fresh water were especially important and sacred to the ancient Maya.
Enjoy a smooth and immersive experience with private transportation, flexible timing, and your own snorkeling guide.
Our all-inclusive cenote private tour invites you to join us in the exploration of two different cenotes, which you can pick from the list below. No two cenotes are alike – some are closed caves, while others are open, and they all have different geologic features, often including breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites. No matter which two you choose, you’re sure to have a memorable experience and fun!
Cenote Nicte Ha: Swim into the clear waters and discover a hidden jungle paradise, where you can snorkel and marvel at beautiful lily flowers and playful schools of small fish. With a small cave that overlooks the entrance to the underground river.
Cenote Jaguar: Embark on an exhilarating adventure! Cliff jumping and zip line await you. A captivating open-air cenote surrounded by lush vegetation, where you can also easily access and swim.
Casa Cenote: a hidden gem mixing fresh water and the Caribbean Sea, where you can swim and snorkel through its mangrove channels and spot lots of schools of fish and birds.
Cenote Taak bi Ha: a small natural cave cenote nestled in the heart of the Mayan jungle, Swim and snorkel to marvel at stunning stalactites and stalagmites.
Cenote Dos Ojos: Venture into the fascinating Cenote Dos Ojos, renowned for its breathtaking cave system, offering a unique snorkeling experience amid impressive stalactites and a vibrant ecosystem . We won’t miss the Bat Cave (if water level allow the access)!
Cenote Eden Garden: Known for its natural beauty, this open-air cenote offers clear turquoise waters surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and picturesque environment for visitors to enjoy swimming and snorkeling. (this cenote is closed on Saturdays)
Yal Ku Lagoon: The lagoon’s interface with the ocean results in an intermingling of fresh and saltwater. There is abundant marine life visible, including many varieties of small colorful fish. The mangroves are particularly impressive and worth viewing. Their ecological importance and natural beauty make them a highlight of the area.
Cenote Pet Cemetery (Sac Actun): Step into the eerie realm of the Pet Cemetery, an intriguing cenote adorned with mystical rock formations and a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, inviting you to unravel its mysterious tales while enjoying a memorable swim in its tranquil waters (there is an extra cost per person if you select this cenote).

Once you’ve finished exploring the 2 cenotes, we end the tour by stopping for lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, where you can enjoy a delicious meal with your party and discuss all of the wonderful things you’ve seen and experienced during your cenotes private tour.

Thank you Arturo! If you’re considering this tour, book it. It was the absolute highlight of our entire trip and well worth the money. Our tour was almost completely private as well, we went early and no one else from other tours were around until later in the morning!
Arturo was an exceptional guide. He struck the perfect balance of being knowledgeable, interesting, and incredibly easygoing. From the moment we met him, he created such a relaxed atmosphere that we could simply enjoy the experience without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. He shared fascinating information about the cenotes, local history, geology, and wildlife in a way that was engaging and conversational rather than scripted.
What stood out most was his kindness. He was patient with every question, attentive to us without being overbearing, and genuinely seemed to care that we had an unforgettable day. You can tell he loves what he does, and that passion comes through in every part of the tour.
The cenotes themselves were absolutely breathtaking. Arturo is what elevated the experience from “beautiful” to truly memorable. We’ve done plenty of tours while traveling, and this was one of the best guided experiences we’ve ever had.
If management is reading this: Arturo is a tremendous asset to your team. He represents your company incredibly well, and we sincerely hope he’s recognized for the outstanding experience he provides. He absolutely deserves it.
Thank you, Arturo, for making our favorite day in Mexico one we’ll be talking about for years.Thank you Arturo!
Cenotes Tulum with family. The guide Luis immersed us in Mayan culture while we ventured into incredible cenotes and caverns. I took the tour with my family. Everything very pleasant.Cenotes Tulum with family.
Pet cemetery + Dos Ojos 10/10. Absolutely loved this entire experience especially our tour guide Joshua who was nothing but kind and so knowledgeable with a great personality!
Great experience, would absolutely do it again!Pet cemetery + Dos Ojos 10/10.
5/5 ⭐ Highly Recommend
We booked two private tours with Absolute Adventures: first the Tulum Ruins, Swim with Turtles and Mexican Lunch on a Monday and then the Two Cenote and Mexican Lunch on Wednesday. For Tulum and Turtles our tour guide was Luis and our driver was Rodrigo. For the Cenotes, our tour guide was Arturo and our driver was Enrique. Both guides were exceptional and both drivers took good care of us.
Booking online was simple and their communication about the tours, both confirming the tours before we left home and same day communication about pickup, was excellent. Our hotel turned out to be a headache about letting outside tour companies onto the property, and we ran into some real meet up issues because of it, but the team was super responsive and got it sorted quickly. It all worked out in the end, and honestly that kind of responsiveness under pressure told us a lot about how they run things.
We started our Tulum tour early to beat the crowds and heat (highly recommend!). Luis guided us through Tulum and made sure we stayed hydrated the whole time, which matters more than people think when you’re out in that heat. His knowledge of the area, the flora, the fauna, the history, was genuinely impressive, and he had this rare ability to be educational and entertaining at the same time without ever feeling like a lecture. At our turtle excursion he schlepped our gear and made sure we didn’t forget anything, none of which was his job, he just did it because that’s who he is. I was also practicing my broken Spanish throughout the trip, and Luis never once made me feel dumb or embarrassed when I got it wrong, which I really appreciated.
For our next tour, Arturo took us to the cenotes. When he picked us up, he suggested we visit a different cenote than what we’d originally booked. I was a little skeptical, figured he just wanted a shorter drive. I was completely wrong. The cenote he picked instead allowed us to have two totally different types of experiences that we would have missed entirely otherwise, and I’m glad we trusted him. At Cenote Jaguar, Arturo gave our kids real time and space to jump and play, which ended up being a highlight of the whole trip for them. At Cenote Dos Ojos, claustrophobia was a real concern for us. But Arturo’s tour through the caves was informative and calm enough that we felt genuinely safe the entire time.
Between the logistics, the guides, and how they handled a hiccup that wasn’t even their fault, these two tours were one of the best parts of our trip.
A Perfect ExcursionOur family had an absolutely incredible experience with Absolute Adventures on a private tour to the breathtaking cenotes Nicte-Ha and Taak Bi Ha, followed by an amazing lunch at Juanita’s. From beginning to end, the entire day exceeded every expectation.
Arturo, our guide, and Omar, our driver, were nothing short of exceptional. They were prompt, professional, unbelievably kind, and genuinely committed to making every moment perfect. No request was ever too much. They handled every detail with warmth, patience, and an incredible level of hospitality that made us feel completely welcomed and cared for throughout the entire experience.
The cenotes themselves were stunning, but what truly made the day unforgettable was the personal attention and care provided by Arturo and Omar. They transformed what could have been just another excursion into a truly special memory for Leigh, Gabe, and myself.
If you are visiting the area and want a first-class experience with people who clearly love what they do and take pride in sharing the beauty of their home, I cannot recommend Absolute Adventures highly enough. Thank you again, Arturo and Omar, for such an unforgettable day and for showing our family the beauty, culture, and heart of Mexico.A Perfect Excursion

Arturo was an amazing guide. The cenotes he suggested were beautiful and not crowded. I will request him as our guide every time that we return. Rodrigo was a great driver and was extremely friendly and helpful.
Amazing, friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had the entire cenote experience to ourselves. Highly recommend Arturo and Enrique and Absolute Adventure private tour group.
We had a great time with Luis and Yosmor! Very informative and everyone has a great time!
We had a great time on our private 2 cenote and lunch tour with our guide Joshua, who was so friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver Omar. At Joshua’s suggestion we went to Nic Te Ha and Taak Bi Ha, both of which were absolutely beautiful, and enjoyed lunch at Juanita’s. I would definitely recommend Absolute Adventure, it was so nice to have our own guide and van, so we could really do the things we wanted to do and enjoy our tour.
Wonderful experience with family.A very beautiful experience with the possibility to go all the way up to discover the expanse of the surrounding jungle.Wonderful experience with family.
This excursion was absolutely the highlight of our vacation! From the moment our driver, Rodrigo, picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He ensured we had a smooth, safe, and comfortable trip to and from our resort.
Our tour guide, Arturo, was phenomenal—extremely knowledgeable and incredibly personable. He took us snorkeling through the breathtaking Dos Ojos cenote and really elevated the experience by sharing fascinating historical and archaeological facts about the cave system.
After the cenote swim, we were treated to a private, traditional lunch prepared by a local Mayan family. I can honestly say it was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life. We capped off the afternoon with a fantastic tasting session alongside Arturo, sampling a wide variety of spirits, from Mezcal to high-end Extra Añejo tequilas.
We cannot thank Arturo and Rodrigo enough for making this such an unforgettable experience for my fiancé and me. If you are considering this tour, do not hesitate—book it! Highly recommend.
Arturo was a fabulous guide through the cenotes. He and Luis tailored the experience to our group and were full of interesting insights about the geography and local history. Thanks for making it such a meaningful and personable experience!
What a wonderful afternoon! Juan was our guide and Hugo was our driver. We went to Jaguar and Pet Cemetary and then a delicious lunch. Jaguar had a free zip line and was more of an open cenote not a covered cave like thing. But perfect for our family and our friends with teenage girls.
Pet Cemetary was unique and truly a once in a lifetime experience. All gear, including waterproof flashlights was provided. It was the perfect afternoon away from our resort. Juan was an incredible guide, charming and informed and very interesting. Completely worth the money and something we will remember forever.

Cenote was awesome!The cenote was absolutely incredible and our tour guide and driver were knowledgeable and amazing (Ivan and Cristina). The snorkeling wasnt super impressive but the cenote and lunch made it worth while. Would defintely recommend.
Great day in Tulum CenotesWonderful experience. Pickup was prompt, driver and guider were professional and friendly. Eddie, our guide, couldn’t have been more helpful and affable. Even the 90 minute commute flew by as we chatted with Eddie and learned about the area. The cenotes were super fun and a perfect way to spend the day with family. We all felt a real connection to our guide and would recommend him and this company without reservation. Thanks Eddie!

Perfect Day!Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Absolute Adventures on a private tour to the breathtaking cenotes Nicte-Ha and Taak Bi Ha, followed by an amazing lunch at Juanita’s. From beginning to end, the entire day exceeded every expectation.
Arturo, our guide, and Omar, our driver, were nothing short of exceptional. They were prompt, professional, unbelievably kind, and genuinely committed to making every moment perfect. No request was ever too much. They handled every detail with warmth, patience, and an incredible level of hospitality that made us feel completely welcomed and cared for throughout the entire experience.
The cenotes themselves were stunning, but what truly made the day unforgettable was the personal attention and care provided by Arturo and Omar. They transformed what could have been just another excursion into a truly special memory for Leigh, Gabe, and myself.
If you are visiting the area and want a first-class experience with people who clearly love what they do and take pride in sharing the beauty of their home, I cannot recommend Absolute Adventures highly enough. Thank you again, Arturo and Omar, for such an unforgettable day and for showing our family the beauty, culture, and heart of Mexico.Perfect Day!

Arturo was an amazing guide. The cenotes he suggested were beautiful and not crowded. I will request him as our guide every time that we return. Rodrigo was a great driver and was extremely friendly and helpful.

We had a great time on our private 2 cenote and lunch tour with our guide Joshua, who was so friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver Omar. At Joshua’s suggestion we went to Nic Te Ha and Taak Bi Ha, both of which were absolutely beautiful, and enjoyed lunch at Juanita’s. I would definitely recommend Absolute Adventure, it was so nice to have our own guide and van, so we could really do the things we wanted to do and enjoy our tour.

This excursion was absolutely the highlight of our vacation! From the moment our driver, Rodrigo, picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He ensured we had a smooth, safe, and comfortable trip to and from our resort.
Our tour guide, Arturo, was phenomenal—extremely knowledgeable and incredibly personable. He took us snorkeling through the breathtaking Dos Ojos cenote and really elevated the experience by sharing fascinating historical and archaeological facts about the cave system.
After the cenote swim, we were treated to a private, traditional lunch prepared by a local Mayan family. I can honestly say it was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life. We capped off the afternoon with a fantastic tasting session alongside Arturo, sampling a wide variety of spirits, from Mezcal to high-end Extra Añejo tequilas.
We cannot thank Arturo and Rodrigo enough for making this such an unforgettable experience for my fiancé and me. If you are considering this tour, do not hesitate—book it! Highly recommend.

Arturo was a fabulous guide through the cenotes. He and Luis tailored the experience to our group and were full of interesting insights about the geography and local history. Thanks for making it such a meaningful and personable experience!

What a wonderful afternoon! Juan was our guide and Hugo was our driver. We went to Jaguar and Pet Cemetary and then a delicious lunch. Jaguar had a free zip line and was more of an open cenote not a covered cave like thing. But perfect for our family and our friends with teenage girls.
Pet Cemetary was unique and truly a once in a lifetime experience. All gear, including waterproof flashlights was provided. It was the perfect afternoon away from our resort. Juan was an incredible guide, charming and informed and very interesting. Completely worth the money and something we will remember forever.

Great day in Tulum CenotesWonderful experience. Pickup was prompt, driver and guider were professional and friendly. Eddie, our guide, couldn’t have been more helpful and affable. Even the 90 minute commute flew by as we chatted with Eddie and learned about the area. The cenotes were super fun and a perfect way to spend the day with family. We all felt a real connection to our guide and would recommend him and this company without reservation. Thanks Eddie!
