Dos Ojos Cenote : Get a Mesmerizing Private Snorkeling Experience

Dos Ojos Cenote tour offers you the adventure of a lifetime. You will enjoy the best snorkeling experience by swimming in a part of the longest underwater cave of Mexico. Cenote Dos Ojos is located on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, near the city of Tulum. There, two cenotes join to form a large underground cavern. The term Dos Ojos means “two eyes” in Spanish, referring to the shape of the cenotes viewed from the sky.

But Dos Ojos is more than just a cave!

If you are into snorkeling, our special Dos Ojos cenotes tour will fascinate and captivate you. Cenote Dos Ojos is actually the entrance of a large underground water system also named Dos Ojos systema. Since January 2018, the rivers Dos Ojos and Sac Aktun are connected, forming the largest underground river of Mexico. They form together a single long stretch of 215 miles.

What’s in the cenote?

This large network of fresh water facilitates thriving biodiversity around. Dos Ojos cenote witnessed the evolution of the Yucatan for centuries. Today, there are still evidences of first settlers in America, extinct animals and Mayan culture in the cave.

Meet Dos Ojos, the Movie Star

Not only Dos Ojos is beautiful, but it is also a movie star. IMAX first filmed the underwater cave system in 2002. The film was called “Journey Into Amazing Caves”. Few years later in 2005, various scenes “the Cave”, the Hollywood were filmed in the popular Dos Ojos cenote. Last but not least, it was also featured in Discovery Channel / BBC series “Planet Earth”, released in 2006.

Avoid crowds, get the most of your vacation

Dos Ojos cenote is a must go for scuba divers and snorkelers. The cenote is so amazing it became one of the most visited cenotes in the area! To ensure you get the most of Dos Ojos cenote we will pick you up between 7 am to 7:30 am. You will have the opportunity to explore the cenotes during the early hours with little crowd. This way, you can swim at your own pace, and use your underwater camera to take stunning pictures, without too many people in the background.

Learn More About The Tour

Dos Ojos park entrance 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. We will explore the two eyes of the cenotes, snorkeling in the clear and cool water.

The experience starts here!

Once fully equipped, you will enter the cenote thanks to a suitable platform. Entrance and swimming are easy. In fact the cenote is quite shallow for swimming, adults and children can enjoy the experience. However, as the cenote is connected to an underground river, some hidden areas can reach 33 feet or 10m depth.

Each one of the cave has distinct geologic features. One of them includes breathtaking stalagmites and stalactites. Both will enable you to enjoy the stunning natural light. If the level of the water allows it, you will also see a bat cave. This hidden room is only accessible with a guide, via a short swim through the stalactites. A lot of bats leave in this cave, sleeping, hanging on the roof.

For sure, you will have an exhilarating and memorable experience. You will also get the time to enjoy the jungle around the cenotes. Gardens with hammocks will mesmerize you with their flowers, trees and the harmonious singing of the birds.

After the effort comes comfort..

The trip ends by a lunch included in the tour price. We bring you to a traditional Mayan restaurant in the jungle. The Mayan owners will prepare you their local cuisine while you discuss your snorkeling adventure with your friends and family.

  1. Linda

    Awesome excursion
    This excursion to the dos ojos cenotes was awesome! Arturo is a fantastic guide, very informative and fun. The cenotes was beautiful, crystal clear water for snorkeling. Had such a great time. I highly recommend this excursion with Arturo and Absolute Adventure Mexico. My husband does not like snorkeling (we are in our late 60’s) and he was very hesitant to go, but when he had a choice to exit the water or swim back he readily said swim back! He claimed this excursion was the best part of the whole trip and I totally agree! Going into the bat cave was awesome, swimming between stalactites and stalagmites, wow! An experience I’ll never forget! Thank you Arturo for a great time.

  2. Linda

    Great time with Arturo our guide to dos ojos cenotes. Excellent time, informative, beautiful clear water, swimming between stalagmites and stalactites and even into a bat cave. I highly recommend this excursion. was the best part of our whole trip. Thank you Arturo and Absolute Adventure Mexico for the awesome experience.

  3. Don

    Dos Ojos Cenotes tour a must do activity!
    AMAZING private tour of Dos Ojos Cenotes ! Our guide ( Alex) couldn’t have been better . His knowledge of Mayan history and Cenotes made for a wonderful day . He made us feel completely comfortable, and safety was a priority as he guided us through the Cenotes . What a wonderful experience! Followed by a delicious, authentic Mayan lunch , which my entire family enjoyed. The professionalism and communications that Absolute Adventures provided were top notch . We will definitely use this company for future tours ,

  4. MYB

    Wonderful private Dos Ojos Cenote Tour for the family!
    My family (two adults and 14 yo teenagers) had a great private Dos Ojos Cenote private tour with Arturo. The driver (Grigorio – not sure of the spelling) was also very pleasant and courteous. The pick up from the hotel was seamless and drive to Dos Ojos was smooth. Wet suits, snorkel gear, flashlights, etc were all provided. Arturo did a wonderful job explaining how cenotes were formed and was patient and friendly throughout the experience. The bat cave was really fascinating! The only thing that wasn’t outstanding was the included lunch that was at the end of the tour – the restaurant is the one that is on the Dos Ojos Cenote property, and while the waitress and staff were super friendly and attentive, the food itself was bland and juices watered down. Overall, I recommend this particular tour and if I get a chance to head back to the Yucatan area, I’d defo reach out to Absolute Adventure Mexico for some other cenote excursions!

    Exploring Dos Ojos Cenote: Juan and Carlos – The Dream Team
    My recent trip to Dos Ojos Cenote with Juan as our tour guide and Carlos as the driver was nothing short of incredible. Juan’s extensive knowledge of the cenote’s geological marvels added depth to our exploration, and his passion for the natural beauty of the area was truly inspiring. Carlos, our skilled driver, ensured a smooth journey to and from the cenote, making the experience hassle-free. Together, Juan and Carlos created a memorable adventure, and I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking to discover the wonders of Dos Ojos Cenote.

  6. LD

    This tour was incredible! The highlight of our stay in Tulum. Carlos was our driver and was so friendly and kind. Alex was our tour guide and he was so nice, so helpful and made the tour so enjoyable. We learnt so much about the Cenotes and had a really nice lunch with Alex too. Would 100% recommend this tour and it’s fantastic guides! Thank you so much.

  7. Homan

    Amazing Dos ojos visit with Juan
    The best guided tour we had! Carlos (driver) and Juan (tour guide) met us in the lobby the morning of the tour, Carlos is a safe driver and Juan is an absolutely amazing person explained all about the Cenotes and what to expect, took us to Dos ojos Cenote we had a great time! Highly recommended

  8. Lydia

    Fantastic tour and amazing tour guides!
    Amazing tour, would 100% recommend.
    Carlos and Alex G were our guides and were both so friendly and we had a great day with them. The cenotes we visited were beautiful and this day was the highlight of our stay in Tulum. The trip was well organised, fun and really interesting!

  9. Zak

    We recently went on the Dos Ojos Cenote tour. It was possibly one of, if not the, best excursion we have ever been on!
    We were fortunate enough to see/be shown all of the amazing sights . The astounding Cenote structures themselves, snorkeling beneath the bats, the birds and the surrounding natural beauty, all of which was made that extra bit special by our tour guide Alex.G and his fantastic tour and knowledge of the area and its rich cultural history.
    Big thank you’d to both Alex G and Carlos for taking us on a breathtaking adventure!! We cannot wait to come back and tour more cenotes!!

  10. Lori

    Amazing Experience! A breathtaking experience for our first family trip to a cenote!
    From the booking to the end of the tour, this was a first-class experience! Claire coordinated the tour, including pick-up (at a location that was not on the drop-down menu), and regular communication via text. The driver arrived as scheduled, along with our guide, Arturo. Throughout the tour, Arturo shared his knowledge and was patient with our family of seven. He made sure to check in with each person individually throughout the tour to make sure that we were all having the best experience. After swimming in the cenotes, we enjoyed an amazing Mayan lunch with Arturo, where we shared some laughs had more photo opportunities.
    We would recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

  11. Brittany

    Amazing! Our tour guide Joshua was amazing and very informative. He guided us through the cenotes with ease and along the way he helped us learn about Mayan culture along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour

  12. Raikeshia

    Juan and Carlos were the best hosts I’ve ever had. This was my friends and I favorite excursion while in Tulum. He stayed with me and my friend while we were in the Cenotes due to a lack of confidence with swimming in deep water. Also, he gave us a nice tour throughout the Cenotes and just the location. We loved him a lot! If you can, book with Juan aka JJ and Carlos for a memorable and great experience!

  13. Sarah

    Highly recommend this for anyone visiting the Playa Del Carmen area. Joshua was an amazing guide and we loved having the place to ourselves. Definitely suggest booking the private tour and getting an early start. 10/10 would visit again!

  14. Dave P

    Truly unique Yucatán experience! 2hour drive from Cancun, but guide, snorkeling the crystal clear cenotes and lunch was worth it.

  15. Joseph

    We appreciated an early pickup so missed the crowds. Juan our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and fun but was very respectful of our privacy. The cenotes we visited were gorgeous and lunch was excellent. We look forward to future tours and hope Juan is our adventure buddy.

  16. ATW

    Best way to see the cenotes! Great experience! Guide, Dulce, and driver, Omar, were excellent! Recommended start time got us to the first cenote just after it opened— saw fish, turtles, and amazing plants— we were the only ones there. Dos Ojos was terrific as well. Dulce was the perfect combination of knowledgeable, helpful, and relaxed. The private tour meant we were able to enjoy each spot at our own pace. Highly recommend!

  17. Meredith

    Beautiful cenotes, delicious lunch. Our private tour of the Dos Ojos cenotes was a lot of fun and a very memorable experience! The cenotes were beautiful and refreshing and our tour guide, Juan (JJ) was awesome. He was fun, easy to talk to and he took some some great photos of us. We had a lot of fun chatting with JJ at lunch and enjoying a delicious meal together. Highly recommend the tour!

  18. Paradise

    We had Arturo as our tour guide and his knowledge and hospitality were above and beyond our expectations!!!

  19. Clare

    Worth the money! Wonderful trip. The cenote were amazing and lunch was delicious! We learned so much about these amazing landmarks. Totally recommend this tour!

  20. Kyle

    BEST TOUR COMPANY IN TULUM! Our tour guide is very professional. He was on time on picking us up from our hotel. He made sure that we’re ready for the day, offering things that we would need if we didnt already have them. He was very knowledgeable about the place and answered all our questions, even the silly ones. And lastly, the lunch spot the tour package had included was a true Authentic Mexican Cuisine. It was very fulfilling, and delicious. We would definitely book another tour with the company again.

  21. Kayla

    Arturo was absolutely the best tour guide, so knowledgeable about our Cenote tour. He was very patient with our group and even helped take group photos of us. We ended the day with a great lunch and awesome stories. If we visit again, we will request Arturo! This was such a beautiful tour!

  22. Malek

    Very friendly atmosphere and professionalism of our tour guy, Alex. We were group of 7 people and enjoyed this trip a lot. Alex offered fluent English and deep knowledge of Mayan culture along with easy going approach and good sense of humor. Perfect trip, highly recommended!

  23. Sage

    The trip was amazing!!!! Arturo was very energetic, knowledgeable, and showed us a wonderful time!!!

  24. Amy

    Absolute Adventure is an amazing travel agency to use! We went to the Two Eyes Cenote with our tour guide Arturo. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made the whole experience so much fun! If you’re in Mexico, check them out!

  25. Carla

    The BEST experience for bachelorette parties !! Artero was amazing!! He was a great tour guide for our bachelorette party of 10 girls. He had a lot of knowledge, made snorkeling very fun and had a great sense of humor. I have never snorkeled before and the entire time he was checking on me and the other girls to make sure we were doing okay. Would definitely recommend this tour with Artero!

  26. Cira

    Must do! Our bachelorette party had such a great time on this tour! Arturo was an amazing guide, the cenotes were beautiful, and the food was great.

  27. Haoruo

    Our guide Alex from absolute adventure is wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommended.

  28. Jason

    Sensational time at the Cenotes. The guide was absolutely wonderful. Super knowledgeable about the cenotes and was great with the kids. 10 out of 10!!

  29. Kelly

    Dos ojos cenote was incredible! We had a group of nine with little kids and everyone had a great time. The food at Juanitas was a perfect way to end the day.

  30. Guy

    Dos Ojos Cenote with Alex and Carlos. Carlos was very professional and drove very well. Alex gave us a history lesson on the Mayan people and the cenotes on the ride down. He is very knowledgeable and speaks very fluent English. We toured three cenotes, the first had a lot of cool vegetation and the water in the second one looked royal blue. In the third we went deep into the caves and it was totally amazing. This is the opportunity of a life time and like nothing else we have ever done. Wow! Then once we finished and changed clothes we had the Mayan lunch with Alex. The food is great and I recommend the fish or shrimp tacos! We were gone for over 6 hours and when we returned to Playa del Carmen we both crashed and took a nap. If you are visiting the area, this is a must and going with Alex and Absolute Adventure on a private tour is the only way to do it! Alex is the best tour guide by far!

  31. Keith

    Dulce and Omar were wonderful guides for me and my family. Thank you for showing us and explaining the history behind the incredible cenotes of Dos Ojos. We will be telling friends back in Colorado about this adventure. Muchas gracias mis amigos!

  32. Mark

    Well worth the trip. We had Arturo as our guide who was excellent. We arrived early and had the whole cenote to ourselves which was incredible to explore.

  33. Katie

    We had an amazing time on our tour! We loved seeing the bat cave and the great lunch at the end.

  34. 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!

  35. Michelle

    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!

  36. Viet

    The 2 most important things I look for from any tour service operators are high value experience and trust…
    That was exactly what my wife and I experienced when we did our Dos Ojos Cenote Private Tour with Absolute Adventure Mexico…and more
    The quality of service started with pre-planning when the company took the time & courtesy to reply in details all questions I had. We were then picked up/dropped off safely by Omar the driver. The whole trip was then delivered to us in almost custom-tailored experience by Alex our tour guide. He was not only very knowledgeable of the Mayan cultures and history, but he acted almost like a brother who truly wanted us to have a great time and ensured we were safe and had fun…and we did.
    We will certainly book them again for any future excursions. Great job guys!

  37. Keely

    An amazing experience from start to finish. Our tour guide Alex, was so knowledgeable and kind. The cenotes are a must, it was an other worldly experience. 10/10 recommend.

  38. Michael

    After a lot of research we booked this private tour and it was a great choice. Omar picked us up and Alex was our guide. Alex has so much knowledge of the cenotes and history of everything Tulum, from the Mayan’s and more. We got very lucky that we were the only ones at the dos ojos cenote that day. Alex prepped us well and again was a blast to explore and learn with. The lunch was great as well. Alex spoke great English which helped us as we have minimal Spanish speaking experience. Overall amazing experience!

  39. Sam

    Alex was our awesome tour guide. Victor and Carlos were our awesome drivers.

  40. Ashley

    Alex was our tour guide and Victor and Carlos was out drivers — everyone was amazing! Definitely recommend the Dos Ojos cenote experience

  41. Anna

    This was awesome! We had a group of 13 girls for a bachelorette party and the Dos Ojos Cenote Tour with Lunch was perfect for us! The private tour is what to do. Alex was our tour guide and was so friendly and great! Victor and Alex were our drivers and kept everything safe in the vans while we enjoyed the Cenotes. 10/10

  42. Rebecca

    We had an amazing day with our driver Carlos and tour guide Alex G visiting Dos Ojos! The cenotes are so beautiful, it’s hard the believe that the water is that clear. Alex was really knowledgeable about the cenotes and the Mayan Communities and culture, and did a wonderful job showing us around and taking care of us. The Mayan lunch was delicious as well! I would highly encourage anyone going Cancun to make a private to check out the cenotes and ask for Alex as your guide.

  43. Holly

    My party took this tour with Carlos & Alex G. We had a great time. They went above and beyond what we had expected. The cenotes were amazing, pictures don’t even do them justice. Our resort was north of Cancun and not included in the resort list on the website. I reached out to Absolute Adventure and for an additional transportation fee (understandably) they accommodated us. I highly recommend this tour with Carlos & Alex.

  44. Joel

    Had a wonderful time in the cenotes. Had to put up with clouds of mosquitoes in between but the wetsuits helped with that. The water is cool and unbelievably clear. Getting to the bat cave was an experience in itself. The ride was short to Dos Ojos from Playa Akaluma. The park access road is bumpy so the driver took it very slowly. Floating along in the current made it easy to explore the caves and the stalactites and stalagmites are amazing.

  45. Jill

    Great Dos Ojos Experience!
    Loved the Dos Ojos cenote tour! Arturo was excellent and a great tour guide! Highly recommend! Wouldn’t have had the first clue how to navigate the different cenotes without him. Great lunch afterward also. Well worth the $.

  46. Bunchofhicks

    Amazing tour! Everything was set up through the app. We were picked up right at our main lobby and went straight to the cenote. Juan took care of tickets and our equipment. The cenote is stunning. We hopped in and swam around for a while, then Juan guided us through the tighter areas and into the bat cave!! He was always willing to wait and take pictures with our phone and/or GoPro. The views under the water were breathtaking! Since this is a private tour we had plenty of time to explore and just enjoy the cenote. Lunch after was very good! Our driver did a great job and we all felt safe on the entire trip! This was a perfect half day getaway for our group!

  47. Leet

    Took my bachelorette crew on this tour while visiting and had the absolute best experience from start to finish.
    Our guide Arturo made the entire experience for us and was the entire vibe. He had the best attitude and was so kind and patient with 9 of us girls. We felt incredibly safe and taken care of and he also had the jokes to top it all off.
    The cenote itself was also worth the trip and was one of the most memorable and beautiful natural wonders. The bat cave was definitely the icing on the top and our guide Arturo was so patient taking all of our photos and picking us up and driving us from our air bnb outside of town
    10/10 would take any friends/family here in the future.

  48. Sam

    We had an amazing trip with Juan. We would absolutely use this company again. Juan was super knowledgeable and gave us a fabulous tour of the cenotes

  49. Mitch

    Arturo was an amazing guide. The experience picked us up from the hotel, provided a very private experience in an amazing local cenote (Dos Ojos) and we grabbed lunch just before heading out. A very immersive and educational experience. Highly recommend!

  50. Josh H

    What an amazing experience!!! And we really enjoyed our guide, Arturo, and Carlos who helped transport us:)

  51. RajS

    Fantastic trip to the Dos Ojos cenote. Juan was a phenomenal guide – not only for the cenote dive but also providing history and perspective on the area. The second cenote at Dos Ojos is incredible – the early start was worth it as we had the Bat Cave to ourselves. Strongly recommend this company and Juan!

  52. Jimmy

    My wife and I had a private tour of Dos Ojos, and our guide was Arturo and driver was Carlos. The tour was easy to book and communications through WhatsApp with Clare was very efficient and straightforward to help us prepare for the tour. Arturo and Carlos were punctual on the morning. Arturo was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. We did not feel rushed at all and Arturo made sure we did things in our own time, and was happy to move on when we were ready. Carlos stayed in / near the van the whole time and was a very safe driver.
    I recommend people that are visiting the cenotes to wear long sleeved swimwear as there are a lot of mosquitoes and you are not allowed to use insect repellant.

  53. Gabrielle

    We had an amazing morning at Dos Ojos with Arturo! Arturo was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. He brought us in the morning before anyone else was there – it was truly a private tour. After the cenotes he took us to a lunch spot that was delicious! Omar is a wonderful and safe driver. We would absolutely recommend this tour! THANK YOU ARTURO AND OMAR!!

  54. Christy

    Amazing Outing! Just finished a great tour of Dos Ojos Cenote with Arturo as our guide & Carlo as our driver. Very attentive staff. They arrived on time for the pick up at our casa in Playacar. I am not super comfortable in deep water. Arturo was very patient, ensuring my equipment was fitted properly & I was good before starting out. It was so much fun!! The Mayan “restaurant” is an open air space in the jungle with a pool, tables & a bar with swings. Amazing, great food prepared on site. Truly a cultural emersion experience. I highly recommend Arturo & this tour!!

  55. Tania

    Amazing experience from start to finish. Claire helped us book our private experience for my husband’s 40th. She was responsive and informative. Our guide Arturo was fantastic. He was funny, very knowledgeable about the history and habitat of the cenotes. We loved every bit of it. Would definitely tour with this company again.

  56. Jessica

    Amazing morning with Arturo! Prompt pick up from our Airbnb and comfortable ride to the cenotes which were 45 mins away from Tulum. Arturo took us through 3 different areas and was very knowledgeable of the rock formations and history of the cenotes. The cenote was not crowded at all which made for a great private experience. My favorite part was the bat cave! Lunch was included which was also very delicious and authentic. I definitely recommend this tour!

  57. Scott

    If you are questioning a tour of any kind, don’t. The tour guide and driver to dos ojos were amazing, friendly, and made our cenote trip that much more memorable. They picked us up on time at 8 am, to our surprise, a private tour was just the two of us.
    The tour was the best and we were basically the only ones there.
    The food afterwards was delicious and the coconut drink, perfection.
    Totally recommend and would do it again. The drive there and back was not long at all and we returned around noon. The driver stayed with our belongings while we swam and ate.

  58. Loris

    Beautiful day at Cenote Dos Ojos
    Wow, just wow!! What a fantastic day we had! Arturo was a great guide, he let us enjoy the trip from start to finish. Arturo is very knowledgeable of the cenote’s history so it was really a pleasure to spend time with him today. The cenote itself is magical, an experience you can’t tell another people about… you must see it with your own “Ojos”!! Last but not least, our driver Carlos was really good too. He drives safely. Recommended.

  59. Hannah

    Amazing trip, couldn’t recommend more. Arturo was really knowledgeable about the cenotes and took us to all the corners, including the bat cave which was the best bit and can’t be accessed without a guide. The whole process was smooth from pick up to drop off at our hotel and the lunch at the end was also delicious.

    Absolute highlight of our trip. Arturo was incredible. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The cenote was unbelievable…crystal clear water.

  61. Harley

    Beautiful experience! We had such an amazing afternoon with Arturo! It was so great to see the cenotes and learn history. Highly recommend this company.

  62. Tyler

    Perfect 1/2 day adventure.
    Such a great excursion for a group of friends aturou was the best guide. It was the perfect amount of time and lovely to end with some yummy local eats.

  63. Lacy

    Excellent tour! We were picked up at our place first thing in the morning and got to the cenote when there weren’t any other people. Our guide was really nice and very accommodating. He took us through the two main Cenotes and the bat caves. It’s a tight squeeze to get to bat caves but so worth it. This is my second cenote and I’m so glad I did this one! And the tour guide was great!

    This was an excellent private tour and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the Yucatán and interested in snorkeling the cenotes. Our guide, Arturo, was superb and took extremely well care of us. I am pregnant and he was so accommodating and attentive to ensure I safely enjoyed the tour. We were picked up earlier in the morning and it was just my husband and me in our group with Arturo, so it really felt like a private tour of the cenotes with hardly anyone else in the park at the time. I was a little worried about the water temperature, so they offered a wetsuit which was really helpful although probably not even necessary. Arturo’s knowledge of the cenotes, formations and history was fascinating and he made the trip very enjoyable. Lunch at the restaurant on site was also delicious and very authentic. It was a truly wonderful experience and I can’t recommend this company and specific tour more!!

    Arturo was an amazing guide! We had a wonderful private tour of the Dos Ojos cenote, with lunch and transportation to and from our hotel. Our guide was knowledgeable, and fun to be around. Highly recommend!

  66. Dave P

    Best private tour in my life. Amazing hosts, safe feeling, and immersion into the unexpected magical waters of Dos Ojos Cenote.

  67. Ekim

    Arturo and Rodrigo were great! Very patient with us in the waters especially since I am a little scared of water. Life vests were always on so nothing to worry about. Very fun tour with snorkeling and even visiting bat cave! Highly recommend!

  68. Detrich

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience on our tour. Claire and team were great. They picked us up at the hotel and made some great recommendations for which cenotes to visit. The tour itself was great because we got there early and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Lunch was also amazing. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

  69. Julia N

    What a FABULOUS experience. I recommend Absolute Adventure to anyone who is interested in a private and unforgettable experience. We did the Dos Ojos tour, Arturo was INCREDIBLE! So knowledgeable and friendly, he quickly became our friend! 10/10 recommend this company, this cenote, and Arturo/Rodrigo!!! See my full review on Yelp

  70. Brenda L

    I recommend booking early morning, we were the only ones there and got the cenote all to ourselves! Amazing experience! Chris, our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Tulum and cenotes.

  71. Joerg D

    For being swiss, we like be everthing trustworthy and pro organized – it is our culture. Adventure tours I give you a 10. It was a GREAT experience with Daniele and Gregorio. Pick up on time, professional bus with all equipment for schnokel, having a neopren dress and all needed equipment prepared. We rent an aquacam which was totaly worth it to have some below water pictures and video.
    The experience was impressive. Need to see what nature is able to create. Together with a pro tour guide (Absolute adventure tours) it can not fail to have a good time..

  72. Gailen F

    First and foremost, Claire, our tour guide, was a gem! She spoke great English and was very inviting. Secondly, go early! We left at 8am and missed the crown altogether! We were the only ones in both eyes
    (ojos!¡) and the bat cave. Without her a guide, we wouldn’t have been allowed in many unique areas within the adventure! She was very helpful getting pictures taken for us as well. (I tried to upload our air jump picture into the clear blue water but it wouldn’t let me). The lunch after the swimming was really good and had some unique and local Mayan artisan souvenirs as well. PAY THE EXTRA FOR THIS PRIVATE TOUR- YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! We are two female travelers and felt very comfortable at all times!!

  73. Megan O

    This was a great experience. Our tour guides were awesome. The views and water were unbelievable. The lunch included will not disappoint soooooo delicious. I was happy our tour guide had lunch with us. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

  74. Elli

    Manuel our guide and Pasquale our driver showed us such a wonderful half-day visiting three cenotes. On the drive we discussed what we were looking for, and Manuel tailored the day for us perfectly, taking us to some of the most special places with a real consciousness and respect for the history and sacredness of the cenotes, which felt educational and also correct. Manuel was knowledgeable and flexible and attentive, and we felt the real benefit of doing this kind of tour through a small company, versus the big “eco-adventure” outfits that were camped out at our resort. We laughed, we experienced awe, we learned a LOT, and we ended the morning with a lunch, including a solid off-the-menu recommendation from Manuel which was delicious. Would highly recommend.

  75. Kayla A

    Daniele and Rodrigo were fantastic! Daniele was incredibly knowledgable and had a great personality. He made sure we were safe, had a good time, and enjoyed our lunch as well. Making our way through the 2nd Eye of the cenote was my favorite part. Everything from the bat cave to how clear the water was to a nice cold Model with lunch made this experience all the more wonderful. I would do it all over again!

  76. Janinah

    This tour was magnificent! Dulcet was a great guide and I so enjoyed the beautiful cenotes and delicious lunch. Dulcet was very knowledgeable about the cenotes and very attentive! The driver guy was wonderful too and took lots of photos for us.

  77. Juli

    The Tour was Absolutely Amazing! A MUST DO IN TULUM!
    Juan the tour guide was beyond what we expected of a tour guide. Patient with us as we learned how to use the equipment and he made the experience lovely. He made us feel like family. The tour through the Bat Cave was spectacular! Pascual the driver was very attentive too. Hands down one of the best tours we have ever had.

  78. Ody

    We enjoyed our Tour Guide his name was Chris from France. WE had the whole park to ourselves and totally enjoyed a VIP Experience.

  79. Sandra

    This was incredible! Chris was our tour guide and he was so much more than a guide! My husband isn’t much on water and he had an amazing time talking to Chris! The cenotes were amazing and lunch was fabulous. We will definitely tell others this is the tour to take!

  80. Kevin M

    My wife and I went just yesterday to Dos Ojos with Claire and her driver Juan Manuel. They were super friendly, informative, and excellent at guiding us through the Cenotes. We were about to have the entire Cenote to ourselves which was extremely special and intimate. After we left, there were so many people there which wouldn’t have been nearly is great.

  81. Julia

    Amazing experience from start to finish. We were the only ones at the cenote.Thanks a lot Claire!

  82. Evan F

    Manu and our driver were very accommodating and friendly. The actual snorkeling was amazing. We had incredible views and felt at ease. Our guide explained the Cenotes and what to expect while we were snorkeling. He also took many pictures of us and gave those to us to cherish. The lunch was phenomenal! We ate authentic Mayan food, beer, and had a tequila shot too! This private tour was exactly as expected, amazing!

  83. Cortney B

    We are regular AI resort travelers, and have always been hesitant about leaving the resort because we enjoy our time there so much! This time we decided to take a chance and book a private cenote snorkeling tour. Although we had to wake up pretty early, we were glad we wouldn’t be away from the resort all day long! Juan picked us up from our resort, again we were kind of nervous because we always stay within the confines of the resort! I’m so glad we went! Juan was hilarious, very informative, and made us feel safe. We literally had both cenotes to ourselves! It was crazy swimming into this underground cave filled with bats, with a stranger! We rented their underwater camera and Juan took some great shots of us. We swam awhile and then stopped for a Mexican lunch that was delicious. We had a great time, and made memories we won’t soon forget. I’m already looking at their other tours for our return trip. Don’t hesitate to book now!

  84. Lovesto

    This was such an amazing tour and a highlight of our trip to Mexico in November. Arturo was our guide and he was so informative in regards to the cenote and many other things in Mexico! We were picked up on time and took the short journey to Dos Ojos where we were alone with no other tourist…

  85. Spray N

    I highly recommend this tour! First of all, it’s a private tour which means you’re not sitting on a crowded bus surrounded by heaps of other people. Once you’ve gone private, there’s no going back. Instead of feeling rushed, our tour guides encouraged us to take it easy and relax and move from each activity totally at our own pace. There was no set time frame for us to get home, it was whatever we wanted – it was amazing! We were picked up on time and entertained for the entire day – our guides were so awesome, my stomach hurt from laughing. Our guides set the pickup time for 7am so we could get to Cenote Dos Ojos before a million other people, and it was so worth it to have that beautiful cenote all to ourselves for a while! Our guides took amazing underwater photos for us and were happy to chase us around with our GoPro the whole time. We were determined to get one particular photo and must have dived down 10 times until we got the shot – and there was our guide, totally committed to taking the photo for us (what a legend). There are two cenotes to explore at Dos Ojos, and we even had time to squeeze in a third cenote. We jumped from high platforms into cenotes, snorkelled with the fishes, swam into the bat cave and were surrounded by a million bats (you can’t enter this cave without a guide), had an amazing lunch onsite and did shots of tequila. Dos Ojos itself is so beautiful – just google it and it’s exactly like that in real life. I can’t thank our guides enough for making this day so memorable for us. They were so personable and friendly. The company provides wetsuits, snorkels and lifejackets, if needed. I suggest just wearing your swimmers all day and bringing a towel and flip flops. Don’t forget an underwater camera or GoPro!

  86. Carrie L

    Shout out to Hector and Pasqual ! Did the private three Cenote tour. The guides made us have an amazing time and the tour was totally private! Hector took pictures and let us pick what we wanted to do. Best part was he never rushed us and let us pick where we wanted to go and leave. The Cenotes were beautiful and not crowded! Would recommend the tour and the guides!

  87. Lee B

    Juan was excellent. Very attentive to our needs. Made all of us feel comfortable and worry free. He made sure our whole group was taken care of the whole time. He’s very personable and funny. Has a good personality. We never felt rushed. I saw other guides with other groups and they did not seem to be as personable or attentive as Juan. If you can book him, recommend it. Their tour guide company is the best we’ve been with as well. They try and get you places when there are the fewest people around, so you’re never felt crowded…. very important.

  88. DRS

    Excellent trip snorkeling and Cenote excursion with Chris. The five of us had a great time, great cenotes / locations, plus great photo’s done. Thanks again.

  89. Astrid

    It was exceptional, our amazing guide Chris was knowledgeable and fun. The early start was worth it as we were one of the few people in the water.Iit was beyond beautiful with crystal clear water and amazing stalactites and stalagmites formations. We finished it all off with lunch at a local Mayan restaurant which was delicious.

  90. Leigh

    We swam through the Dos Ojos cave equipped with masks, snorkels, lights and life jackets. The guide was friendly and informative. The water is cool (part of the largest cave system in the world) and the guide takes time to show and tell so I was glad wet suits were included. The equipment was of good quality.

  91. Cristina

    Great cenotes, wonderful views inside the caves, great decoration, the bat cave not to be missed!, there is not marine life, but amazing for snorkel!

  92. Sam

    We set out for our first cenote tour with Juan as a guide and it was a wonderful experience. The booking, transportation, and overall customer service experience were great.Highly recommend.

  93. Alicia

    Totally impressed by Dos Ojos! Such a natural wonder. I went to a few Cenotes on my trips to Mexico and this was by far my favorite. The contrast between the covered and uncovered sides made this a one of a kind place. The entire trip was well planned and included a private van and driver for the day. Thank you Chris for this beautiful day.

  94. John

    We booked the Dos Ojos tour. It is well worth a visit! The cenotes were gorgeous, the water clear as a bell, and our guide Juan was fantastic! The snorkeling was great. They provided wet suites, it doesn’t feel cold but after you’ve been in a while you could definitely catch a chill. The snorkeling was fantastic, before the crowds getting in. Make sure you visit!

  95. Vicky

    I am not a strong swimmer and I did this!!! Super safe and comfortable. Our guide was great and ensured us that we will be okay! He was very patient with us. Thank you Arturo.

  96. Emma

    This was the only cenote we visited but we thought it was stunning. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area. We were happy to get there early! Thank you Absolute Adventure!

  97. Jim

    A must to visit! It’s a very pretty, crystal clear cenote that is both open and has a cave you can swim through, which is pretty cool. It was very convenient, very reasonably priced.
