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: 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).

Our guide Marcel took us to 2 cenotes, Pet Cemetery and NicteHa which were both great. Pet Cemetery was an underground cave that we could swim through, with interesting formations, both overhead and underwater. The water was a little chilly but the guide provided wetsuits and snorkel gear. He led us through the cave and pointed out interesting items. NicteHa was an outdoor cenote. Then we had lunch at an authentic Mayan restaurant and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.
I booked this tour for myself & my 14 yr. old. I wanted her to see what the cenotes were all about. It was beyond my expectation. The guide, Juan did an excellent job telling us the history of the cenotes. Plus we enjoyed an excellent lunch & endless run & cokes, beer & soda. A half day of fun & my teenage grandaughter enjoyed our special day together.
Cenote Nic Te Ha and Cenote Tak Be Ha were both gorgeous cenotes. We loved the tour, the mayan restaurant and the kindness of the staff. These guys are the bests!
Amazing day ! We went snorkeling tour cenotes. Everything from booking to communication was easy. Organisation and guide were great and lunch was delicious. We had a lot fun, thank you!
Everything about this trip was great. Our guide was amazing! Juanjo was knowledgable and friendly and went out of his way to cater to our small children. We got to go to less traveled places at less traveled times and enjoy them without all the crowds. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. But really the guide makes the trip and he was great!
Our guide Arturo took great care of us, we loved every moment of our tour. Cenotes exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Riviera Maya in Mexico
Beautiful places to swim and snorkel if you are in Playa del Carmen. Outstanding landcapes, great experience!
There are no words to describe the amazing cenotes. You have to go and see it for yourself. It is a truly beautiful trip, all was included. Top notch guide and driver.
My family traveled with Chris on tour of two cenotes. The tour was excellent! I have been on several excursions over the past decade and this was the most personal. Everything was so easy with this company.

I had a great time, both of the cenotes were really amazing and fun. Our tour guide Joshua did a great job, he was super kind; outgoing and made the trip much easier.
Avery –
Best tour ever! Josh took such good care of us, saw beautiful cenotes and was so friendly explaining everything and all our questions. The food at the included lunch was so delicious. Highly recommend!!
Amy –
2 private tours with Christina and Rodrigo…wonderful!
We learned so much about the Mayan people and their history with our tours of both the Tulum Ruins and the city of Chichen Itza! Cristina was our guide and her passion, respect and knowledge of the environment, the history and the people of the Yucatan were inspirational. We loved learning about the network of cenotes and their geological and cultural significance as well. We had a lovely snorkeling tour of Taak Bi Ha with a delightful lunch after. Many thanks to Rodrigo, our driver, who made sure we were comfortable thru-out our travels. I would not hesitate to book with this tour company again!
Bruno –
The best experience!!
We had a tour to two cenotes with Alex and Ivan. I proposed to my girlfriend in one of the cenotes and Alex was super helpful in making sure that we had the best experience. I advice everyone to go with absolute Mexico in tours, super friendly people and very helpful. I want to go again to Mexico and next time we will do a tour to see turtles! Thank you so much Alex and Ivan for everything. That’s the type of persons you will never forget for the rest of your life.

My wife and I were in Cancun celebrating our anniversary and wanted a private tour to make the experience truly special. Absolute Adventure exceeded every expectation we had. We chose them based on great reviews—and they not only lived up to them, they went beyond. We did a private Cenote tour just the two of us.
From start to finish, their communication, professionalism, and attention to detail were top-notch. Cristina, Ruby, and Kíke made us feel like VIPs the entire time. Everything was extremely personalized, relaxed, and tailored just for us.
We’ve decided that Absolute Adventure will be our go-to partner for every trip to Cancun going forward. If you’re looking for a private tour experience that’s memorable, seamless, and truly exceptional—this is the one.
Thank you again for making our anniversary unforgettable!
Kamilla –
Juan/JJ was the BEST tour guide!!! He was so kind, funny, knowledgeable and we truly had the best time on the tour. Overall, such a great experience for a big group. The cenotes we visited were beautiful and the local lunch was awesome. We had the best time! 10/10 recommend.
Lesley –
Josh was our tour guide on 4/30/2025 for an excursion to two cenotes. He was a private guide for me and my husband for our first trip to the area and we would highly recommend him. Josh was knowledgeable of the history of the area, very easy going and a pleasure to spend time with. He ensured we were both comfortable with all activities and went at our pace. We would definitely book again!
Kyle –
Our cenote tour was amazing. The two spots were breathtaking and the food at the end, delicious. Thank you, Juan, for being such a wonderful and knowledgeable guide!
Caroline –
We had a great experience with Absolute Adventure Mexico’s private cenote tour. Our guide, Juan, was super friendly and interesting. Pickup at our Airbnb was prompt and easy to coordinate. The two cenotes we visited were beautiful, not too crowded, and very different from each other, so it was fun to experience the contrast between them. Lunch was delicious too! Overall, a relaxed and special adventure.

Cenotes Dos Ojos day excursion.
The service was excellent! From the moment they pick you up at your hotel until they drop you off. Alex, Arturo, Cristina, and Juan explained everything with charm and wisdom. Alex gave us a history class on Mayan culture that taught us a lot. My family and I are very grateful and will return someday. I also give the transportation vehicles five stars—very comfortable, clean, and spacious. Thanks to Javier for taking us there and back safely. The cenotes are very beautiful and impressive. The food is delicious and healthy. Thanks to everyone who served us and cooked for us. Thank you so much, long live Mexico!
Maykol –
The crew was truly amazing and friendly. Juan and cris were very friendly and made sure no one was left behind and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Magical Morning in the Cenotes!
Arturo and Enrique picked us up right on time at our hotel and we headed off to tour two cenotes. The first cenote was small and quiet and absolutely stunning. We got there early and had the whole thing to ourselves. The second one was a little bigger with ledges for diving, a nice swim to a hidden area, and a zipline over the whole thing. Arturo taught us so much about the area and was so kind and encouraging with our daughter, helping her feel comfortable and confident to explore at every turn. We saw tons of beautiful fish, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, and iguanas. The fish swim right up to you so the views are great. Highly recommend taking a waterproof camera. We got some great photos and videos. Our guides were so accommodating and had cold drinks for us. We would definitely recommend a tour with Absolute Adventure, it was a highlight of our trip and we will do another one if we get the opportunity.
Kelly –
Such a wonderful adventure! Juan was an incredible guide & we loved snorkeling in the cenotes. One of the best things we’ve ever done! Don’t miss it.
Kelly –
Best nature adventure ever
The cenotes are one of the most incredible things I’ve seen on earth. Could not recommend more. Such a magnificent display of nature. Intimate tour with no crowds. And our tour guide Juan made was so wonderful, capturing our memories, sharing the history of land, and engaging in wonderful, thoughtful conversation about nature & life. Book now, you won’t regret.
Kathy –
Amazing experience!
This private tour was amazing! Private tours are the way to go! They picked us up from our hotel and drove us an hour to the first cenote. We chose Dos Ojos and Pet Cemetery. Both were a gorgeous and unique experience. There was no pressure and we were able to take our time. Our guide Arturo and his trainee Christina were the best! We can’t forget our driver Rodrigo as well and his heavy metal music! They were all accommodating, very knowledgeable, and so friendly! The sites and sounds and almost near privacy were exceptional! Lunch was also included and tasty. Our guides ate with us and it was perfect getting to know all about them! 10/10 recommend!
domlarosa –
Great customer service experience and tour
We were originally supposed to go on the turtle snorkeling and one cenote, but were informed the day before the weather would prevent seeing the turtles. I appreciated they offered both a refund option and also something we could do instead. Was so glad we choose to do two cenotes! They were beautiful and they are so different from each other. Juan was great! A pleasure to spend the day with and went out of his way to make our time special.
Chantal –
BUCKET LIST CENOTES ADVENTURE! Our guide Joshua and our driver Alex gave us an experience that was unforgettable. This private tour is highly recommended! Both cenotes were spectacular (Taak Bi Ha and Pet Cemetery) and by being there first thing in the morning, we had the whole cenote to ourselves which we loved. Joshua was extremely informative; presenting at key moments but also allowing us to enjoy the silence and serenity the cenotes had to offer. They were well very organized and had all we needed (snorkel, waterproof flashlights, life jackets, drinking water). Skip the big tours and book with Absolute Adventures!
Sachi –
Juan was a great tour guide for our group, and accommodated our dietary restrictions for lunch – overall we really enjoyed this tour and exploring the different Cenotes caves!
MSCH8001 –
Amazing tour
It was absolut fantastic. We visited two cenotes. Josh our tour guide and Omar our driver did a great job. Thank you for a perfect day.
Kenzie –
We had an incredible time with Josh today! we booked 2 private cenote tours for 15 girls total and we went to Jaguar and Nicte Ha. Both locations were incredibly beautiful and Josh was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We had lunch at Juanita and it was so delicious. Communication was so easy and we never had any issues. Overall, 10/10 experience and would highly highly recommend.
Gary –
We had an amazing experience in the Pet Cemetery and Taak Bi Ha cenotes. We arrive early and were the only ones exploring the Pet Cemetery. It was a magical experience! Our guide Arturo was the best! About an hour swimming in the caves thru a few chambers. It was the highlight of our Akumal trip! Highly recommended!
Mel –
We went to 2 different Cenotes with Juan; Cenote Nichte-Ha and Pet Cemetery, they were absolutely incredible and the best day of our week vacation. Juan was amazing, knowledgable and overall super chill and cool to talk to! We went to Juanitas for food in the jungle and it was also delicious and overall the mexican restaurant vibe we were looking for. If you are looking for a great experience in mexico, I really wouldnt look any further. Until next time!!

Best Private Cenote Tours in the Yucatan!
This was our second tour with Absolute Adventure and it won’t be our last! Once again they went above and beyond. We added snorkeling with turtles to our cenotes package and even with that we were back to our hotel before 3pm. Our guide Alex was just as knowledgeable about Tulum and the cenotes as he was about Chichen Itza. We ziplined at one of the cenotes and had the entire place to ourselves! Highly recommended!
Cory –
We booked a 2 Cenote tour during our vacation in Rivieria Maya. Claire was great in getting thing set up and was very flexible in landing, including adjusting our departure time and picking up 2 seperate groups from 2 different resorts. Our driver Rodrigo was on time and we had no transportation issues l. Our Guide Josh “Mr Guide” was amazing. He was friendly patient informative and volunteered as our photographer whole we enjoyed the 2 Cenotes. The private tour meant that we worked out on our schedule and the lunch was Amazing!
I would definitely book again!
Janet –
A repeat for sure!
Arturo our guide and Enrique our driver were fantastic. Arturo was very helpful with our 3 person group that included 1 person who has vision problems, 1 person who doesn’t swim, and 1 person who loves adventure. He took care of all of us! He explained the options and we picked the 2 that fit our group best. He led us through the cave and explained how it evolved along with how it is connected to 250 Cenotes.
Because we went early we had the two Cenotes to ourselves until just when we were ready to leave.
I will use this group again and book more private tours.
Al –
Our guide, Arturo, and driver, Enrique, were fantastic! I have vision issues and Arturo was very supportive helping me navigate to and from the cenotes. He was also amazing as our guide through the closed cenote we visited. Highly recommend them if planning a visit!!!
Kirk –
Had an amazing experience on the half-day 2 cenote tour! The cenotes were absolutely stunning, and everything was so well-organized. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. All the equipment was in excellent condition, and safety was clearly a priority. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and refreshing adventure! 5 stars!
BoardingPass –
Wonderful experience!
We really enjoyed this private tour. We decided to book through Absolute Adventure rather than our cruise ship and they did not disappoint. We were in constant communication and they answered any questions we had. The private tour is also flexible. We had to change the number of people joining this tour and they were great in helping us make this change. Additionally, we had limited time for this tour since we were coming with a cruise ship. They were very timely and organized and we made it back with plenty of time to spare. Our guide, Arturo, was great – very knowledgable and friendly. We got to see two cenotes: Dos Ojos and Jaguar. They were both absolutely breathtaking. I would definitely recommend this tour company!
Animal Lover –
I chose this company for its excellent reviews, and I am thrilled to add another one for them. We chose two cenotes, one that included the zip lining and Cenote Sac Actun (aka pet cemetery). The zip-lining was very short but great for a 1st timer, like me. Sac Actun is incredible and cold, but beautiful. Thankfully the company had wetsuits for us. Most of all, hands down to Alex, our amazing guide. He is so knowledgeable and really takes ownership of his work. He was also very kind, professional, and accommodating. I highly recommend Absolute Adventures for your excursions in Mexico. Best of all, they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, unlike other companies, that require you to meet a specific location, which could be an hour away depending on your location. Lastly, our tour ended at a unique restaurant nestled in the jungle, with freshly made food, not a buffet. The staff was incredible. The food was delicious. We truly enjoyed our private tour!
We haven’t uploaded our sac actun photos from our GoPro yet, but you can google image the cenote, and see its beauty. But it’s worth seeing in person. Otherwise, here are our pics from the zip line and lunch.
And thank you, Claire (owner), for all your wonderful communication. We’d definitely utilize your services again and highly recommend you to others.
Brittany –
Our tour was wonderful and so were our tour guides! One of the best tours we’ve ever had in this area! Everything went amazing.
Both of those cenotes were very cool and so fun to see! We had a great time.
I want to express to you how wonderful both our tour guides were too! So kind and helpful the entire day!
Overall we had a great day with our wedding group! Thank you, Brittany
Laura –
Arturo and our driver were absolutely the best. Their knowledge of the area and different cenotes went above and beyond our expectations. We felt very safe and truly enjoyed all aspects of our tour, and don’t pass up on the lunch- that was also excellent!
Justin –
Amazing Cenotes
The tour was incredible. Our guide Arturo, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and super friendly. Cenotes were incredible, and we were treated to an excellent lunch
afterwards. 10/10. Would definitely recommend.
Hannah –
Glad we accidentally stumbled upon this tour. We asked our hotel concierge if they could only we could only visit one cenotes which should be do and she said Taak Bi Ha. Booked this one based on reviews, and it was amazing.
Joshua is very knowledgeable and passionate about nature and sharing its history with you. This tour was private, and since we went first thing we were pretty much the only ones there! We we literally the first to arrive at both cenotes. Task Bi Ha opened later than Nicte Ha so they really plan it out perfectly. Lunch was very good, and all locations beautiful.
Don’t forget tip is not included just like all tours.
Lauro –
Great time with Juan. Thank you
De La Cruz Fit –
Excellent adventure – hassle free and Juan was an amazing tour guide! Highly recommend traveling around with them.
Tineal –
We had the absolute best time with Juan and his co-pilot! They took us to two cenotes and gave us unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. This was a great hassle free trip that allowed us four to focus on swimming, laughing and having fun in a care free environment.
Anthony –
Excellent tour with a great tour guide
I had an incredible time on the Cenotes adventure in Tulum, and Arturo was a huge part of that experience! He was super friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and always made us feel safe and comfortable. His passion for the cenotes and the history of Tulum really showed, making the adventure even more enriching. Arturo is someone you can truly trust, and I would 100% recommend him for anyone looking to explore the cenotes!
Maxwell –

Cenote, lunch, lagoon
This was our second tour with this tour company (first in 2023), and I can’t say enough good things! Always on time and catered to your specific needs. Alex is the best tour guide, he’s so fun and so knowledgeable. I would not do a tour with anyone else in this region. Highly recommend!
Eric –
Best cenote tour experience by far. Knowledgeable and passionate guides and would absolutely book with this company again in the future.
Simone –
Amazing guide, amazing experience!
We went on the private tour with Alex and driver Enrique and it was so nice! Punctual pick-up at our airbnb as well as knowledgable information about Mayans and Mexican history even in the car before we arrived the experience started!

Juan, aka JJ, was very good communicator throughout our adventure, he was very curious to get to know us and we felt safe him and the driver for the trip.
Akumal Lagoon was cool water, had lots of different fish and fun snorkeling. There is some current, so stay close to the edges when you can.
Cenote Dos Ojos was very cool, cold water in the shade, saw divers near the caverns and explored between the two cenotes in a keyhole cavern

Great tour of cenotes with Joshua and Rodrigo!
Joshua was our tour guide and Rodrigo was our driver. They were both amazing! We loved every second of our tour and lunch was so great. We had so much fun! Thank you Joshua and Rodrigo!!
Gabriela –
We had the best experience ever. Our guide Joshua was very knowledgeable and fun. Rodrigo our driver made sure we were safe and comfortable as we navigated through bumpy roads. Best time ever!
Kassie –
My friends and I had so much fun with our tour guide Joshua and our driver Rodrigo. I would highly recommend them both for your cenote tour. Joshua was so positive, uplifting and knowledgeable. We loved the cenote tour! The water is very cold. I would recommend wearing water shoes because it’s just the easier to not have to worry about taking your shoes on or off and they help protect your feet in the water. I think mine kept my toes a bit warmer also! The bugs are so bad when you’re not in the water but Joshua did a great job keeping us focused on the fun!

We went on this excursion as a must-do activity for my sister’s bachelorette trip, and it was a blast! She kept raving about how this was her favorite thing to do on the trip. Everything went so smoothly, from pick up to drop off. Our guide, Alex, told us the history and legends of the Mayan civilization and their connection to the cenotes, and it was absolutely magical. Once we got to the first cenote, we knew this would be a thrilling day. We jumped in from the small cliff and the water was so clear and natural; we could see the lily pads so clearly from above! Such a fun experience, and now I want to explore all the cenotes!

This cenote tour was one of the best moments in my life. Cenote Sac Actun tour was more like an exploration. In this huge cave, there were only my wife, me, and our guide Alex(Alenjandro), while Taak Bi Ha has one of the most beautiful water I have seen.
This private tour is not cheap but 100% worth it. There’s no delay for picking up/dropping off multiple guests here and there. Alex and our driver Enrique showed up on time and were so nice and knowledgeable. Will definitely use this company again to explore other beautiful cenotes.
Jen –
Arturo and his team were a great guide! We had a bachelorette group go with him, and he had a lot of knowledge of the cenotes and guided our group safely through the caves and through snorkeling, jumping into cenotes, swimming through bat caves… Highly recommend!
Olivia –
AMAZING cenote experience!!
Arturo was an amazing cenote guide! He took our group of 7 though dos ojos and nicte ha and we loved both cenotes so much. Dos ojos is more of a covered cave cenote and nicte ha was open with beautiful lilipads and more fish. Arturo was very knowledgeable and patient with our group wanting to spend more time at each one. We had a 10/10 experience and would recommend this service to anyone!!
Erin –
Joshua gave us a fabulous tour of two cenotes with a great lunch afterwards. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend!

Do NOT miss this tour!! Highly recommended, awesome experience!!
Thank you, Juan and Enrique!! This was the best trip ever! <3
We experienced two beautiful cenotes, and the best part: we arrived early, and the first cenote just opened up for us, a very exclusive and awesome experience!! I totally recommend visiting Nicte-Ha (open cenote) and Taak Bi-Ha (closed cenote), that way you get to experience both types of cenotes and they are literally next to each other. Thanks for the recommendation, Juan!
We also learned a lot about the wildlife (we all love bats) and the history of the cenotes while having fun, snorkeling and of course jumping from the platforms 🙂 Thanks again for some great memories, awesome stories and for spending time with us, Juan and Enrique!!
THANKS, Absolute Adventure Mexico! It was an overall great experience!!
Mark –
Cenotes are an amazing experience. Went on a Sunday morning and had both Cenotes to ourselves. Joshua and Enrico picked us up right on time in Cancun. Clean van and had all the equipment ready for us. Recommended the wetsuit for Pet cemetery since it is a longer swim in chilly water.
FarAway54709803091 –
The private 2 cenote trip was great! Joshua was outgoing and very informative. Dos Ojos was super cool and wasn’t too busy when we arrived. Nikte Ha was a different experience being semi open air and lots of vegetation. Worth every penny!
Addie –
Our cenote tour with Alex was amazing would definitely recommend he was super knowledgeable and sweet.
Pioneer279261 –
Great experiences! Alex was our tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about Mayan culture and history and the natural surroundings. He was patient and encouraging with my mother. Highly recommend!

Just Magical -Do Not Miss This Excursion – 2 adults and 4 children (8-14 years)
We took 4 children ages 8-14 and 2 adults to the Dos Ojos plus 1 other Cenote and lunch excursion with our guide Alex and driver Omar. We were picked up from our Villa in Tulum in a nice van. All equipment was provided and in great condition, our guide Alex was with us every step of the way. He swam with our kids with a life ring and made us as parent feel very calm and relaxed. They fitted all the kids with the correct life jackets and snorkel gear.
Each senote is different and special in its own way. The water was very nice and the temperature perfect. The trip lasted (from pic up to drop off) about 5 hours and was perfect for the kids.
We had a great lunch at a local Mayan restaurant (food included) and did not feel rushed at all.
Thank you to Alex and Omar for taking such good care of our children, we hope to see you all again.
Adam –
These guys were the absolute best. It was a pleasure talking with Juan and he took great care of our 2 year old for an amazing adventure. I would do another adventure with them in the future without a doubt.
Ali –
We had a wonderful experience visiting 2 cenotes followed by lunch with our guide Juan and driver Omar! Juan was incredibly informative about the animals and nature we were seeing. He was also very kind and patient in teaching my 5 year old to snorkel- we all had a great time and I highly recommend Absolute Adventure, 10/10!!
Kyle –
My partner and I took an amazing tour with Joshua and Rodrigo. Zip lines were super fun, and snorkelling in the Cenotes was unbelievable!
Joshua is filled with knowledge, and takes amazing photos! It was an amazing day!
I would 100% do this again with them on my next trip back to Mexico!
Thanks again, Joshua & Rodrigo!
Brenna –
We booked this tour as our only excursion on our vacation and it did not disappoint. Juan was amazing. He helped us pick the cenotes that would allow us to see the variety. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about when to go and where to see all the spectacular views. Enrique got us there safely and the restaurant at the end was amazing!! Definitely book with this company.
Shaber –
Wonderful and unique experience!
The 2 cenotes we visited were each quite different and both remarkable -one open air with lilypads and the other underground.. Neither was crowded or touristy. They were really beautiful snd so unique! Perfect for swimming and snorkeling.Our guide Joshua was awesome. He was very informative and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!
Vivy –
We did the 2 cenotes tour with Juan. His dedication to highlighting the natural beauty and ecological diversity of Mexico is truly commendable. His passion and expertise have really enriched my knowledge about the cenotes.
Carina –
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time during our 2 Cenote day tour with Juan and our lovely driver Omar! Juan was very knowledgeable about the cenotes and ensured we had them all to ourselves (or mostly to ourselves) by getting there early. He was a really fun guide and even helped take some photos of us in and around the cenotes. We really loved the bat cave at Dos Ojos 😀 Absolute Adventure was even able to cater the tour to us by taking us to a specific cenote we wanted to see, but wasn’t on their usual list of cenote options. Thanks for making our trip so memorable!
dhakshig –
Excellent tour and service
My partner and I went on a private tour to two cenotes (Dos Ojos and Nicte He) in the Tulum area. Arturo was our guide, and Omar provided transport. The tour was expensive, but the personalised service was excellent. Arturo and Omar picked us up from our accommodation on time, and were mindful of our time constraints when planning the tour. Arturo is a friendly, knowledgeable and articulate guide, and was very patient and encouraging with me (I’m still learning how to swim). The gear provided was of a good quality, and we enjoyed the lunch that was provided. We also appreciated being able to go to the cenotes when they weren’t busy. In fact, it was just us at Dos Ojos, which was an amazing experience. We would highly recommend this tour.
Sofie –
Arturo’s expertise and attention to detail made the trip truly special. We had a wonderful time on our tour.
Simon –
Really good service, pick up and drop off with lunch thrown in. Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgable about the Cenotes and Mayan culture and we learnt a lot. Thank you for a great morning, and well worth the early start to have the Cenotes pretty much all to ourselves!
Stephanie –
Pick this tour! Best way to see the Cenotes!
This tour exceeded all expectations. Joshua was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. The pace of the tour was perfect, we did not feel rushed or pushed along. The private tour is definitely the way to go. We learned so much during our time. Thank you Carlos for getting us there and back safely! A truly delightful tour. Definitely recommend!
Sheryl –
Alex has the BEST personality – he made everyone in our group feel instantly comfortable. His energy and friendliness really took our experience to the next level. If you want to fall in love with Tulum, Alex is hands down the guide to go with. Our tour with him was the highlights of our trip!
Gloria –
A beautiful time in Mexico
We had a beautiful time in the cenotes, it is my favourite memory of our Cancun trip! We went to Nicte Ha, it was a small gem but so lush with water lilies and baby fish. And then we went to Taak Bi Ha which was a very cool cave. The pickup was very smooth, both the driver and our guide Alex were so kind and made sure we were safe. Highly recommend doing a tour here.
Leslie –
Had an amazing time on this tour. They were super flexible with us and were very accommodating with our group. The cenotes were beautiful and we had a wonderful Mexican lunch afterwards. Would highly recommend this tour, it was a great experience.
Pepe C –
Juan was a fantastic guide for our trip. He was informative, fun, and entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the cenotes and surrounding areas. I could not recommend this group more highly
Paula –
An amazing experience that we will never forget!!!
Absolutely amazing experience. Can’t recommend them enough. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was private which made the experience even better. The lunch was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip to Tulum. Highly recommend to everyone to book with this company. Just when you think you have seen the most beautiful locations they surprise you with more. It’s an experience my partner and I will never forget.
Explorer68255719137 –
Expectations Exceeded! My wife and I booked a cenote excursion on our trip to Cancun. When I was looking at the tour options for the cenotes, I’ll admit, I thought it was a bit pricey. However, Juan and Carlos were at our resort at the scheduled time and provided a very personable experience. We were fortunate to be the only ones in the the Cenotes upon arrival and they were stunning! I can’t believe this tour isn’t significantly higher ranked on tripadvisoor as it was our favorite part of Mexico– and our resort was fantastic! Lunch was amazing and should definitely be added to all cenote tours. Skipping it would be a mistake. Thank you for a wonderful experience. It will be remembered for quite a while!
Andrea –
This was an amazing experience. Juan and Carlos made this the highlight of our trip! Highly Recommend!
Arun –
Great otherworldly experience.
Alex was a terrific guide, gave us the VIP tour treatment for both the cenotes. The food and the ambiance at the lunch place they took us was amazing. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Quintana Roo.
Po-Hao –
We went to Cenote Pet Cemetery and Cenote Nicte-Ha. Both are amazing. Our guide Juan was great, making the adventure extremely fun and safe. Make sure to bring a waterproof camera or case for phone.
Kristen –
My friends and I completed the 2 cenotes and lunch included adventure. During that time our tour guide JJ was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and helpful with our group in swimming throughout the cenotes. The cenotes were beautiful and the food and drinks at the local spot was amazing and delicious!
Carmen –
Great tour of cenotes! Alex was an engaging and knowledgeable guide and the tour provided everything we needed to have a fun and memorable day!
Will –
Our family of 4 did a private cenote tour with Joshua and Carlos. Hotel pickup was prompt and convenient. They were very attentive to our boys, and got us to the cenotes early enough to beat the crowds.
Joshua’s knowledge of the area and its history made it a remarkable experience. 👍🏼
Brad –
What a great time!
Better than amazing! My wife and I spent the morning with our guide, Joshua, and driver, Rodrigo. They both worked very hard to make sure we had a great time. Joshua guided us on which two cenotes to choose and then began giving us a history lesson that lasted the entire trip.
He was very patient with us as we got comfortable with the beautiful, yet very cold water. He slowly snorkeled with us and made sure that we saw the best parts. He also made sure we were appropriately reverent to the ecology and history of what we were touring.
We could not recommend this tour, these guides, and this company more. We hope to be back soon and try a different excursion.
Justin –
It was an absolute highlight of our time with Absolute Adventure. The cenotes were breathtakingly beautiful, and Arturo’s guidance ensured that we had a safe and enjoyable snorkeling experience. We had the privilege of visiting both an indoor and outdoor cenote, each with its own unique charm. The crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and the feeling of tranquility were truly awe-inspiring.
One of the things that truly stood out about Absolute Adventure was the private and curated experience they provided. Our group felt like we were the only ones experiencing these wonders of nature and history. Arturo’s attention to detail and personalized approach made us feel special and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of the locations we visited.
If you’re looking for a truly remarkable adventure in Mexico, I wholeheartedly recommend Absolute Adventure and, particularly, Arturo as your tour guide. Their commitment to providing unique, tailored experiences, combined with Arturo’s expertise and passion, will undoubtedly leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Thomas –
Had an amazing time snorkeling 2 cenotes with our guide Arturo. He’s very welcoming and made the adventure safe and laid back. He answered all our questions and kept us informed the entire tour. We were picked up from our AirBNB and the van was air conditioned with a cooler full of water and soda for the trip. We also had a yummy lunch at the end which is covered by the fee of the adventure but also has a full bar so you can have drinks and cervezas. Highly recommend!
Yihong –
Very satisfying private tour!
Mary –
A+++. Our tour guide (we had two adventure) was polite, knowledgeable, and fun! I highly recommend booking with absolute adventures.

Wow!! This tour was incredible and Alex/Rodrigo our guides were great. The cenotes we

to recommend and return.
John H –
Great adventure along with a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Highly recommend.
Joseph –
Dulce (Guide) and Carlos (Driver) were great! Dulce kept us safe in the cenote’s, and engaged in great conversations! Highly recommend you take tours with them!
Kenya –
Had an amazing time with absolute adventure tours. My partner and I had the pleasure of having alex as our guide and Omar as our driver. We selected to do 2 cenotes, 1 cave and 1 open . They were so beautiful and alex did a great job of making sure we were safe when entering and existing cenotes. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see. We then went to a local restaurant with great food (all included in the cost of the trip). While we were exploring Omar stayed with any of our belongings in the van. He also gave us sodas and waters. This was a great experience and next time we are in Mexico we will be booking with absolute adventures.
Amanda –
We had an amazing cenote tour with Alex (guide) and Carlos (driver). We got to choose which cenotes to pick and we were pretty much the only people there. It was super relaxing and lovely. The cenotes were amazing. The lunch at the end was also delicious. Highly recommended if you want to avoid big crowds

Dmitry –
Arturo was an incredible tour guide. Everything I always appreciate in people: intelligence, kindness and happiness is a clear mark of Arturo. He is punctual and patient, excited and eager to share his local knowledge. I would love to go back to the tour of Dos Ojos and Jaguar. Both tours are interesting, exciting and very well paced. Lovely day with amazing Arturo and Gregory.!
Christine B –
JJ was knowledgeable and personable. He timed our terms perfectly so that we had the cenotes to ourselves and virtually had the Tulum ruins to ourselves. Can’t recommend him enough.
Eve –
We went on a private Cenote tour with Arturo. The quality of the experience was exceptional, and that’s thanks to our knowledgeable, personable, and clearly experienced tour guide. The “dos ojos” cenote was particularly stunning and an adventure we won’t soon forget. Don’t hesitate to book this experience!
Briana –
We did a Cenotes tour with Alex as our guide and Rodrigo as our driver. We had high hopes from the positive reviews but this experience exceeded our expectations! We had a fantastic time and can personally recommend.
P. –
The Cenotes tour was a highlight of Tulum! Clear waters and we had the best guide who was patient and knowledgeable, Ask for Dulce!!!!!

The Cenotes were beautiful and zip lines was the best. Arturo was very accommodating, patient and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and safe. Gregorio was a great and safe driver as well!
Jack –
Arturo was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, connected well with each person in our group, making for a great day. Rodrigo assisted Arturo and they worked well together. We are fortunate to have found Absolute Adventures and to have Arturo and Rodrigo lead the adventue.
Erin –
Arturo and crew were the best! 10/10 would recommend.
Ashley –
We went on the 2 cenote adventure, and it was amazing! This was our first time going on a private tour, and it was 1,000% worth it. Our tour guide, Arturo, was very knowledgeable about the cenotes and made the whole experience super enjoyable. Omar was our driver and he did an excellent job as well. If we are ever back in this area, we will definitely book a tour with them again! We also got to stop for lunch by the cenotes and it was delicious!
Mark –
Our guide Arturo was very knowledgeable about the Cenotes. He was very patient and made sure everyone in our party was comfortable with snorkeling. Our visit to the batcave was extraordinary.
Katie –
Booked a private cenote tour with Alex and Omar. We got to the first cenote and we’re the only people there! Went on to another cenote and had lunch at a wonderful, traditional spot. It was a spectacular experience. Omar was a safe driver and Alex was extremely knowledgeable about the history and creation of the cenotes as well as the Mayan culture. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for a lovely experience.
Tiffany –
We had a great time with Absolute Adventure Mexico. Our tour guide was Arturo. He was super friendly and knowledgable. We did an early morning tour and it was worth avoiding the crowds. We had the first cenote to ourselves. I feel like the price we paid was more than worth what we got. We would 100% go back to the cenotes and have him as our guide! We look forward to another visit.
Maddie –
Such a fun and unique experience while we were down in Mexico. Both cenotes we went to we’re beautiful and our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend going!
James K –
Our tour of two cenotes was amazing. Arturo (our guide) and Rodrigo (our driver) were both very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The cenotes were really magical and we were very lucky to have them pretty much to ourselves-it’s definitely a good idea to get there early! I highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico to anyone looking to book a trip in the area!
Julie –
What a fantastic tour and guide (Arturo) we had during our tour of the cenotes. My kids loved the experience of swimming in the Cenotes and jumping off the cliffs. Zip lining was an added bonus. Tour ended with a delicious lunch.
Jessica –
Everything about this tour was amazing. I never had an issue with communication when booking this tour and asking questions. Prompt responses all the time! Driver was on time to pick us up and we had cold drinks in our van. We didn’t have to worry about getting tickets or findings where to go because our tour guide, Arturo, took care of everything! The whole tour was amazing! We were a group of 7 girls for a bachelorette trip and everyone had nothing but excellent things to say! Arturo provided us with so much facts about the cenote and made us all feel very welcome! He was patient with our group when we asked for many pictures too! I can’t recommend this company enough! Im already having withdrawals from this tour and will recommend to everyone! Excellent excellent excellent!!
Constance –
We had such an amazing time on the Cenotes tour! Arturo was an amazing guide and the lunch at Juanita’s was awesome. I would definitely recommended doing this activity during your trip to Tulum.
Hye –
Great cenote tour with a great guide in Arturo! Good for people who want to only see and focus on cenotes.. The lunch was very good as well!
Joe –
Best Cenote Tour! (We got engaged!)
Let me start by saying that my plan from the beginning was to propose to my girlfriend in a cenote, in the water.
I messaged Absolute Adventure. I did not book, I only asked them if they could accommodate my plan, and recommend a cenote. Claire emailed back and was friendly and told me of some suggestions. I decided to hire them, and it turned out to be the best decision!
Taak Bi Ha was beautiful. We swam for a while before I proposed in the water. I left my phone with Omar who was on the shore, and he made a video of the experience for us (she said yes). Afterwards, we climbed out and went to Nicte-Ha which is an open cenote and swam there for a while, before going lunch. The lunch was delicious and authentic. After lunch, we relaxed for a few minutes, during which Arturo snuck away and came back with a bottle of tequila and poured my fiancée and I a shot to celebrate our engagement!
During the entire tour, Arturo was so kind. He loves his job, and he knows so much about the local plant and wildlife. He explained many things about the history of the cenotes and how they’re formed. He constantly points out various birds and lizards and tells you what they are. He explains plants and trees as well. For us, we are nature-lovers so we really appreciated his sharing of knowledge. We saw bats, birds, iguanas, basilisk lizards, and lots of fish.
Everything was perfect and we could not ask for more. The tour was great and I would HAPPILY sign up with Absolute Adventure again.
Elizabeth –
Juan, our tour guide was so knowledgeable, funny, charming and quick witted. He told us a lot of the local history. He kept 13 of us women engaged, entertained, in line and laughing most of the day. The tour ended with us like we had gained a friend for life. Absolutely 5 star worthy! Book them, you will not be disappointed.
Holly –
my boyfriend and I did the 2 cenotes tour and we can’t reccomend it enough!
our guide Arturo was SO wonderful and knew so much about the cenotes, all the information he was able to give us made the tour even more amazing!
we chose the nicte-ha and dos ojos cenotes and they were both unbelievable and so different from each other.
the restaurant we went to at the end of the day was hands down the best Mexican food I have ever had (I am vegetarian and they were very accommodating of that).
our driver Carlos was also wonderful and we felt very safe with him behind the wheel.
we are so glad we found this company and would absolutely use them again in the future 🙂
Bonnie –
This was the perfect tour! Low stress with pick up and drop off, amazing cenotes, and our tour guide, Arturo, was the most patient and knowledgeable guide possible! 10/10 would recommend this half day tour for people who don’t just want to stay at their hotels and want to experience the culture and doing some sightseeing.
Suzanne –
Book this company!!!! You will not be disappointed. I have traveled a lot over my life and experienced many tour companies but Absolute is by far the best one I have ever used. We had 13 women on our “private ” tour and had the best guide anyone would ever want to have. His name is Juan. He had to put up with all us crazy women. We did the 2 cenote tour and the entire day was filled with awe and laughter. Juan was so great! He shared the history of cenotes and many other interesting facts about the area we were in. We learned about the letter “X” and that was very interesting. You will have to book them to find out about this. All us ladies are in agreement that we had a extremely fun day that will be remembered for years to come. You will not be disappointed. We came from Cozumel and was picked up at the Playa del Carmen pier. Everything went like clockwork. The communication between us and Absolute Tours prior to the tour was spot on. We booked almost a year before we got there. The pricing was worth every penny. Our lunch was fantastic. Some of the best food we have had on our trip. We love Mexican food! We all recommend this company for any tours they offer. It will be a special day for all who book them. Gracias Absolute. Next time we are in the area we will book them again.
Mikhel –
Had an amazing time and learned a few things too! Definitely an extraordinary experience with an awesome, patient, fun tour guide!
Samantha –
Absolutely loved this tour of the cenotes! We can ere a group of 10 women for a bachelorette trip and our guide was amazing. He went above and beyond providing history of each location, details on the cenotes and most importantly was very patient with a few of the ladies who were a little anxious and coached us through. Such a fun time and delicious food at the end! Definitely a must if you’re in Tulum.
Sarah –
Our tour with Arturo was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the area and cenotes. He was also extremely friendly, kind and brought a good amount of humor to the trip. We felt very comfortable and confident in his guidance and one the trip. It was a great experience as we got there early and had the cenotes all to ourselves! It really allowed us to learn and experience them in a unique way. The lunch after was also awesome. They had the best tortillas and it was the most authentic meal we had! I am still craving the chicken taco. I highly suggest this private tour! It was one of the best things we did!
David –
Best way to visit the Cenotes. Did a tour with another company the day before, this was so much better and a private experience.
Arkadiusz –
Great Cenote tour. The guide and driver were both excellent. The communication and coordination was spot on. They arrived at our hotel on time and walked us through the different Cenotes we could visit base on our groups’ interests. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Tour was optimized for time and the lunch spot was great. Highly recommend this tour and Arturo as your guide if you can get him.
Clovis –
Enjoyed a great day visiting the Jaguar and Dos Ojos cenotes with Arturo. Beautiful experience and Arturo was a fantastic guide.
Denise –
Thank you Claire for such an epic adventure! We all had a blast exploring the underwater world with your amazing guidance. You’re the best!
Patrica –
Staff is amazing, fun and knowledgeable ! Definitely made out trips to the cenotes that much more enjoyable. Totally recommend..
Thibault L –
Perfect private tour for small group!
My group of 12 went for a private tour with Absolute Adventure Mexico. First we visited the Tulum ruins. We went there early to beat the crowd. The guide was very knowledgable and shared a lot of fun facts about Mayan history. Then we went to the Jaguar Cenote. The guide advised us to go there because there wouldn’t be a lot of people, and indeed we had the Cenote almost all for ourself! We did some zipline and swam in the Cenote before going to lunch. Overall it was a perfect day, 10/10 would recommend!
Frank –
Awesome trip! Best option to see multiple cenotes and get the most historical info
Luke –
Booking a private tour with Absolute Adventure is like winning the lottery. We spent half of a day on a private cenote tour. Arturo was our guide and he made the experience so special for us. He was full of knowledge and taught us all about the history of the cenotes while we saw with our own eyes. Absolute Adventure even starts early in the morning so you can beat most of the crowds. Our driver, Omar was also very friendly and professional. Thank you so much to Arturo and Omar! We will definitely be booked another adventure with Absolute Adventure again in the future because of you two!
Vincent –
Both cenotes although different were equally beautiful and peaceful. The best part is you aren’t rush by your guides it’s on your time. Rodrigo and Arturo took amazing care of us. The jokes made it even better. Lastly, the food at Januitas was perfect end to the day.
Anna –
Best experience yet on our trip to Tulum! Our trip included transportation, private guides through two cenotes, and a delicious lunch at Juanitas. Arturo and Rodrigo were extremely hospitable and informative. They had everything we needed. Out of all the guided tours we did, this was the most relaxing and personable. Thank you Arturo and Rodrigo!
Carolyn –
Amazing! Highly recommend!
Arturo, our guide, was phenomenal! He was so patient, friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the best times to get to each cenotes, made us feel safe as we maneuvered our way through and took us to a delicious lunch at the end! Do not hesitate to take the dos ojos cenotes tour!
Sofia –
Dulce was our tour guide. She made our tour an exceptional experience. Her insights and demeanor were truly delightful. She was very attentive and clearly knowledgeable. The entire family enjoyed the adventures greatly, especially our children. Thank you for the memorable experience.
Jordan –
Tour guide was amazing and let us go at our own pace, excellent English. The meal was very sufficient and tasty. The driver was professional. Absolutely worth the cost 100% – coming back to this place next time for sure. The cenotes are beyond description in words, and the water is perfect in temperature. Just book this trip and GO!!
Renee –
Well worth the extra cost for a private tour!
The trip was amazing! Having a private tour for our family of 5 was well worth it. We didn’t have to worry about other people and we had the first cenote to ourselves . The guide as kind and patient with the kids and it made the day lots of fun !
Janvi –
Our party of 9 had a great time. Juan and Rodrigues were amazing 🤩
Amanda –
We had a beautiful day with Arturo. Cenotes are just amazing! 100% recommend
Victoria –
Amazing cenote day trip! Our guide, Manuel, was fun and made the day enjoyable. 100% recommend!
Sharon –
So we just got back from our snorkeling tour and our guide Claire totally made the experience. She was so knowledgeable and shared all these awesome facts about the underwater life. Plus she was just the nicest, like she really made us feel at ease, especially in the cenotes which can feel a little intimidating at first. She was super attentive the whole time too, making sure we were all good. We really need to thank Claire, she really turned it into such an amazing adventure!
Julia –
WOW! we had an amazing time doing a 2 cenote tour with our guide Dulce! She was amazing! It was just my boyfriend & I and she matched our personalities great! she knew so many fats about the cenotes and taught us so much! she brought us to our first one a little after 9 am and we were the only ones there! that was wonderful, and then she took us to a more enclosed cenote with bats. Dulce let us go at our own pace and was great with taking pictures for us! The lunch provided after was also AMAZING! best vegetarian tacos! I will be definitely be using absolute adventures again!
Swabad –
he cenotes are very cool, we saw one that was open with lots of colorful flowers, water lilies, and fish. We then went to one that was totally underground and a completely different experience. Wetsuits were provided for the totally underground one as the water was cooler than the outside cenote. Lunch was great and ride back to the hotel was easy. Claire was great- we were originally scheduled to go snorkeling but the waves were too high. She suggested we could either reschedule, cancel, or do this cenote trip. As we couldn’t reschedule due to our departure date, we went with her suggestion of the cenotes, and I’m glad we did. Reef snorkeling is available many places in the world, but it’s not everywhere you can snorkel in a cenote. Trips with Absolute Adventure Mexico are really awesome, we will definitely use them again the next time we are in Playa del Carmen.

We had an amazing trip and this was the highlight. We went to 2 cenotes, one open and one cave. There weren’t many other people around due to Covid, so it was nice and quiet. The guide, driver, and the two of us wore masks in the van when we couldn’t socially distance. Our guide took several pictures for us while we were swimming. The lunch was great too! I would highly recommend this tour.

Claire gave us a private tour of Cenote Sac Actun and it was amazing!! He was extremely knowledgeable, came prepared with all the gear, and helped us to pick a Cenote to explore that was perfect for the rainy day we had. Having a private tour was so much better than going with a large commercial tour company, and we were able to see parts of the Cenote that are not accessible to all tour guides. I highly recommend this group!

We had a wonderful experience with Juan and Pascual! There was a group of 10 of us. The transportation was perfect for the drive and included waters, beers, sodas etc. We had a very organized and fun day snorkeling in the cenotes and then we enjoyed the zip line and jumping into the water. We had lots of pictures taken! The lunch is really good and a fun experience! Would definitely recommend and do it again.

My wife and I are just leaving from a nine day vacation in Cancun (Hotel zone), and this excursion was the highlight of our trip. We did another snorkeling excursion through a different company as well, but it could not compete with this.
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) & Nicte Ha cenotes. Nicte Ha was like our own private underwater garden, with lily pads and colorful little fish. 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.
Do this tour. You won’t regret it.

We had the absolute best time on our private Cenote tour! Juan is a gem. He made the excursion such a blast! He was very knowledgeable and made us feel safe even while swimming in a bat cave!! We will definitely book with him again! Don’t hesitate to choose Absolute Adventure!

e did a private tour to Tulum and cenote. We were met at Tulum by a park tour guide for personalized service and information about various things in the park. VERY knowledgeable. Then off to Jaguar cenote and found out we could zip line while we were there. There were only 2 other people there the whole time. The guys at the cenote were very helpful. After that we went to a local place for lunch that was included. We didn’t even know that!!! Miguel and Pascual were at our hotel to pick us up at 7 AM as stated and then took us back to the hotel after the tour. I cannot say enough about Miguel. So personable and knowledgeable. He made us all feel comfortable and joined right in with our group.

I booked the snorkeling tour in 2 cenotes with lunch for my husband and myself. This is our 3rd trip to Playa del Carmen but our first private tour and the best decision we made.Our guide was Juan and our driver was Ervin, they turned our holiday from great to amazing! We learnt so much more than we would on a larger group tour and had many laughs ( even down to the extra spanish lesson on the bus on the way to the cenotes ) Because the tours are planned to avoid the crowds we were the only people in the cenotes which made it extra special. Juan was very patient and helped me a lot as i am a nervous swimmer and made me feel safe the whole time. Our cenotes were followed by lunch in a local authentic restaurant which finished the day off perfectly. If you only book one trip when your in mexico then use Absolute Adventure they are Absolutely the best, only wish we discovered them on our first trip

We went to Taak bi ba and Nicte Ha cenotes. Perfect combination to see 2 amazing different places. Lunch was the best of our stay! Highly recommend

Thanks a lot to Manuel and Rodrigo. We had a beautiful day in the jungle. We had all time we want to swim in each cenote. Manuel guided us through the cave cenote, it was very interesting to learn about the formations. Thank you

Our guide Marcel took us to 2 cenotes, Pet Cemetery and NicteHa which were both great. Pet Cemetery was an underground cave that we could swim through, with interesting formations, both overhead and underwater. The water was a little chilly but the guide provided wetsuits and snorkel gear. He led us through the cave and pointed out interesting items. NicteHa was an outdoor cenote. Then we had lunch at an authentic Mayan restaurant and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

I booked this tour for myself & my 14 yr. old. I wanted her to see what the cenotes were all about. It was beyond my expectation. The guide, Juan did an excellent job telling us the history of the cenotes. Plus we enjoyed an excellent lunch & endless run & cokes, beer & soda. A half day of fun & my teenage grandaughter enjoyed our special day together.

Cenote Nic Te Ha and Cenote Tak Be Ha were both gorgeous cenotes. We loved the tour, the mayan restaurant and the kindness of the staff. These guys are the bests!

Amazing day ! We went snorkeling tour cenotes. Everything from booking to communication was easy. Organisation and guide were great and lunch was delicious. We had a lot fun, thank you!
Linda –
Everything about this trip was great. Our guide was amazing! Juanjo was knowledgable and friendly and went out of his way to cater to our small children. We got to go to less traveled places at less traveled times and enjoy them without all the crowds. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. But really the guide makes the trip and he was great!

Our guide Arturo took great care of us, we loved every moment of our tour. Cenotes exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Riviera Maya in Mexico
Jonathan –
Beautiful places to swim and snorkel if you are in Playa del Carmen. Outstanding landcapes, great experience!
Frank –
There are no words to describe the amazing cenotes. You have to go and see it for yourself. It is a truly beautiful trip, all was included. Top notch guide and driver.

My family traveled with Chris on tour of two cenotes. The tour was excellent! I have been on several excursions over the past decade and this was the most personal. Everything was so easy with this company.
