    This was an incredible experience. We visited 4 beautiful cenotes but my favorite was the semi open cenote with blue water. The activities were super fun. We got to zip line (twice), go down a water slide, rappel, kayak, and “snorkel”. I add the quotations because it wasn’t actually snorkeling. We had the mask and no tube and there wasn’t much to look at under the water. Our tour guide, Joshua Duran, was awesome! Super cool, funny & just a good time. We was able to give us some cool insight and information throughout the trip that made it even more fun. You can tell he loves what he does. Our group was not that big and we got to enjoy the cenotes as much as we could. The food provided was not bad either and they also provide drinks (water, beer, etc). Keep in mind you do not need these but they do sell water shoes/shirts. The pictures were definitely overprice, 85$ for the package. I guess if you like it, then it is what it is.

    I went to this excursion with my husband for our honeymoon. We asked to be picked up in our hotel as it wasn’t in the hotel list for pickup but was on the way to the xenotes. In the call they mentioned that we should wait in a certain location, yet the van went to another and didn’t want to pick us up. The driver was very rude and uncooperative, to the point that he didn’t want to pick us up, arguing that we would lose our money. My husband had to stand in front of the van for half an hour for us to be let in to the van. Wasting precious time of the tour. We recommend the staff members of this tour to communicate better and avoid unpleasant situations like the one we faced.
    We had a guide named Irwin, very friendly, excellent service on his part, very charismatic and practically inspired many to overcome their fear of heights, it was a very fun experience 100% recommended.

    Irwin was our tour guide and we had the most fabulous day! Prepare for lots of time in the water and heights - ziplines, repelling and cliff jumps. The beauty of these cenotes is unmatched and Irwin made it all so memorable. You are truly in the middle of the jungle and it’s magical. It’s an all day activity and we wouldn’t change our decision for the world.

    Soo good. A really well organized and thought through tour, with beautiful cenotes and fun activities for everyone. Not a dull moment! Plus some good and well timed food and snacks. And our guide, Gaby, was just absolutely brilliant.Note: a water shirt is recommended if you have it, otherwise it might be a bit chilly at times. They also sell these shirts right at the tour minivan for 800 pesos ($46).

    This was an amazing experience, all that was needed was a swim suit and some watershoes. They provided a towel per person. We didn't risk the phone cases and losing our phones. Zip lines, kayaking, snorkeling(wasn't great), small cliff jumps and a river swim(stormed for us but added to the experience). Whole day trip and completely worth the experience. Lunch was provided with a variety of local options all freshly prepared.

    I've been to Mayan riviera 6 times now and by far this was the best excursion I've done. We visited Xenotes by xcaret in early Aug 2023. It was nice to get away from the heat and swim in cooler water( both resorts pool and ocean beach was hot). My in opinion it's best suited for ages 8-50, although my 73 year old dad did all the cliff jumping and ziplining too. Usually the excursions where u go into the jungle have very poor food but even the lunch was really good. Guides are super friendly. The photos are on the pricey side but they don't pressure u to buy them. I'll do this excursion again if I go back.

    A blast! My wife and I loved this place. Our tour guide Manny was amazing and made our experience the best he did such a good job.They take you to four different cenotes. In one you repel down (they do all the work you just ride into a cenote). Then you kayak in one, then you zip line in one (my favorite). The last there’s a slide, zip line, and a cliff jump. Keep in mind these are all optional but I recommend trying them all at least once.
