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.

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!

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

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!
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!
Cira –

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

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!
