FIND YOUR DAY OUT

Explore your Cenote tour options

Compare dedicated cenote tours and combination itineraries. The number of cenotes, swimming activities and lunch arrangements depend on the tour option you select.

About activity levels

The activity level is based on factors such as walking distance, swimming-snorkeling duration, the number of stairs, and the overall physical effort required.

  • 1 bar: Light
  • 2 bars: Moderate
  • 3 bars: High

Ratings are shown for each activity. Where a tour has different options, the activity levels can vary. Pyramid climbing is marked separately.

Durations are approximate ranges published on the tour pages, not a fixed schedule for each hotel. Pickup location, traffic and selected options affect the day. Prices depend on your group, accommodation and options; check the tour page for your booking.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Private Tours to Cenotes: your questions

Need help choosing an itinerary for your group? Talk to our team.

Should I choose a cenote-only tour or a combination?

Choose a cenote-focused itinerary for more time exploring freshwater settings. Combination tours share the day with ruins, snorkeling or another stop; check their published durations and activity levels.

Can I choose which cenote we visit?

Each tour page includes a complete list of the available cenote options, with a description of each one and any applicable upgrade cost. When several options are listed for your tour, you can select your preferred cenote during booking. Some itineraries include a specific cenote and do not offer a choice.

How do I choose the best cenote for my group?

Cenotes offer different experiences, including open-air swimming, cave snorkeling, cliff jumping and ziplining. You can select your preferred option when booking or, if you do not make a choice, decide on the day of the tour with your guide’s advice.
