Get ready for an unforgettable experience with our private tour of Dos Ojos cenote—a magical place near Tulum, famous for its crystal-clear waters and incredible underground world. This snorkeling tour lets you explore both "eyes" of the cenote, swim through the largest underground river system in Mexico, and enjoy a peaceful jungle lunch away from the crowds.
Dos Ojos isn’t just popular among travelers—it’s also a Hollywood favorite! This cenote has been featured in the IMAX film “Journey Into Amazing Caves”, the movie “The Cave”, and the BBC’s Planet Earth series. When you snorkel here, you're entering a world so unique it has captured the imagination of filmmakers and scientists alike.
The name “Dos Ojos” means “two eyes” in Spanish, referring to the two circular sinkholes visible from above. Each eye offers a unique snorkeling experience. On our tour, you'll visit both:
The first eye is filled with natural light and shallow areas, perfect for beginners and children. You'll admire dramatic limestone formations and see the light rays dance underwater. The second eye is darker, more mysterious, and includes areas with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. This part of the cenote is deeper and more dramatic, ideal for snorkelers looking for a more immersive cave experience.
One of the most exciting highlights of this Dos Ojos cenote tour is the Bat Cave. This hidden chamber is only accessible with a certified guide and reached by a short swim through narrow passages filled with ancient stalactites. Inside, you'll find a large dome where bats rest during the day, hanging quietly from the cave ceiling. However, please note that during the rainy season, the water level in the cenote may rise significantly. This can make the passage to the Bat Cave inaccessible or unsafe to cross.
After your underwater journey, we’ll take you to a family-run restaurant nestled in the jungle. A delicious Mexican lunch will be served, freshly prepared with local ingredients and traditional recipes. It’s the perfect moment to relax, chat with your guide, and relive the best parts of your Dos Ojos adventure surrounded by nature.
We provide everything you need for an easy and enjoyable snorkeling session. You'll receive high-quality masks, snorkels, wetsuits, life vests, and waterproof flashlights. For families, we also offer children’s gear, including small wetsuits, kid-sized life vests, and small snorkel-masks. This makes the tour safe and fun for children as young as 4 or 5 years old, as long as they are comfortable in the water and know how to swim.
Our private Dos Ojos cenote tour is designed to give you a smooth, safe, and personalized experience. We include everything: private round-trip transportation from your hotel, early arrival to avoid crowds, all entrance fees, and a certified guide who stays with your group throughout the day. You'll explore areas not accessible to regular visitors, like the Bat Cave, and have full control over your pace and comfort. This is an all-inclusive experience where every detail is taken care of—from top-grade snorkeling equipment to a peaceful jungle lunch. You don’t need to bring anything but your swimsuit and a sense of wonder.

This was one of the coolest experiences! We scuba-dived in Los Ojos cenote. Josh was an incredible guide and we wouldn’t have had the same experience without him! Omar was our driver and ensured we were safe and hydrated. Thank you for this unforgettable opportunity!
Best trip and company to book with!We booked a trip to the dos ojos cenote and didn’t know what to expect. From the moment we were picked up we when it was going to be a good time. Eddy was our tour guide and made the whole trip better than it could have ever been. He was informative, funny and hospitable beyond what his job requires. Yosmar was a great driver and made sure to get us there and back safely. Next time we are here in Mexico we will only book with absolute adventures and we want to personally request Eddy and Yosmar. Thank you both!
Our Guide Arturo was great. He was knowledgeable about the geology, hydrology and history of Dos Osos Cenote. He was also very patient as my wife and I observed, asked questions, and absorbed the unique beauty of that place. I Highly recommend this tour.

A beautiful adventure
We had an amazing private guide of the Dos Ojos cenotes with Juan. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable of the cenotes and of the whole area. He was also very personable, we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. The cenotes were absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the bats and the caves. Afterwards Juan took us to a Mexican cafe in Akumal for lunch and it was so delicious. We won’t hesitate to book with Absolute Adventure the next time we go to Mexico.
Ashlee –

We had a fabulous tour of the cenotes with Christina and Omar the driver. We visited Dos Ojos and had lunch right in the park. Christina was a wonderful, kind, friendly, and informative guide. We would recommend them to anyone! So nice to have a private experience! Christina took us through to a hidden cave area that was so beautiful and not accessible without a guide. Best part of the day!
Marta –

Tulum Trip Core Memory.
Wonderful from top to bottom. The tour guide Josh was terrific. Snorkeling around Dos Ojos will be a highlight memory of our trip,. Josh was very knowledgeable about the local culture and region, and he was happy to help take pictures of us at key moments. Honestly the snorkeling is so immersive in the dark caves lit only by flashlight that you’d almost think you were scuba diving. Highly recommended!
Kobey –
A great private activity for the family
This was a great experience and way cooler than we imagined. We took our 7 yr old twins and it was awesome for them. I would probably not take any younger kids since you would not be able to get the full experience. The travel guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The transportation was on time and made it very easy. It was also nice that it was a private tour without the crowds.
